Chris D. Horton Legacy Sniper Competition Event page for the CDH Legacy Sniper Comp…focused on honoring Chris’s life through training! October 16-18th 2026 Specialist Christopher D.

Horton died in Paktia, Afghanistan on September 9, 2011, during a complex ambush. Specialist Horton was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 279 Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, as a sniper. His wife, Jane Horton, made a comment to me that she didn't know how to keep Chris's legacy alive since they never had kids to carry on his name. This bothered me for years, until 2019 when I put together the first sniper match in his honor. His wife flies in from DC to officiate the event and it's a great time to remember Chris, cross-load information between sniper teams and continue to keep our skills sharp. This year we have 20 teams from all over the country competing in the 2.5 day event. We keep our stages realistic to the craft, but have started an open class this year for non-sniper qualified competitors running non-issued equipment. What makes this event really unique in the sniper world is that it is spectator friendly, and on the first evening there is dinner where anyone can meet these guys, get pics, hang out around the bonfire and enjoy a live band. Bring the family out and watch some of the best dudes in the world fight for 1st place!

You probably heard but we are bringing in 2 tattoo artists… REAL ONES this year! But it’s a felony to cover up any ink that has been done in the past here so don’t even think about it!

Did you know spectators can fly in our little bird for a cash donation of $150 to the comp? It gets even cooler- you’ll be up in the mix with teams that are shooting out of the bird while you’re ripping, banking and flying nap of the earth (NOE)! It will be the ride of a lifetime! Don’t want to be in the Helo with the teams? Well we can make something work for you if time allows- get ahold of us to schedule your flight at: [email protected]
