This Army sergeant just nailed the first-ever perfect score in a service rifle shooting competition
[Task & Purpose] Army Sgt. Benjamin Cleland is officially one of the most badass shooters in America.

The Fort Benning soldier and member of the Army Marksmanship Unit's Service Rifle Team set a national record with the first-ever perfect score on a National Rifle Association high-power rifle course in Oak Ridge, Tennessee earlier this month, the Army announced.

The NRA's 80-Shot Regional High-Power Rifle Course's includes four separate matches, each with slow fire and rapid-fire elements. According to the Army, those matches include:

  • Two sighting shots and 20 standing, slow-fire record shots at 200 yards and within 20 minutes
  • Two sighting shots and 20 sitting/kneeling, rapid-fire records shots at 200 yards within 2 minutes
  • Two sighting shots and 20 prone, rapid-fire record shots at 300 yards within 2 minutes and 20 seconds
  • Two sighting shots and 20 prone, slow-fire record shots at 600 yards within 20 minutes and 20 seconds

    Rocking a M16A2 rifle, the Ohio native nailed the 10-ring on all 80 shots. That's a target that's just 7 inches at both 200 and 300 yards and 12 inches at 600 yards.
