SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — More than 150 marksmen from across the country are expected to visit western Nebraska later this month for a two-day shooting competition with some targets up to 1,400 yards away.

The competition will be one of the biggest events of its kind because few events focus on long-range shooting.

Most of the targets will be set up 400-to-800-yards away but some will be barely visible to the naked eye because of the distances involved. The competition will be held April 15th through 17th.

This will be the third competition since Eli Grow and Travis Petersen met at a local gun show last year and started talking about long-range shooting. They formed Western Nebraska Precision Shooters to hold the events.
