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 15-17.

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.
