Discovering Recce Challenge
Tim Burke, the visionary behind The Tactical Games, embarked on a new journey after his successful venture was sold. Settling in the state of New York, Tim found himself distanced from the shooting sports that he once enjoyed. It wasn’t long before the call to return to his passion became undeniable. With a spark of creativity and a nod to NY State law, Tim crafted the Recce Challenge, a New York-compliant evolution of his original brainchild.
What is Recce?
The term “Recce” is derived from the military concept of reconnaissance. Abbreviated from Recon to Recce (pronounced “Reckie”), the term encapsulates the essence of what the Recce Challenge stands for. This event mirrors the critical roles of sniper-observers in combat—experts who serve not only as precision shooters but as vital sources of intelligence. Sniper-observers deploy the SALUTE method—Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, and Equipment—to deliver concise, detailed reports of their findings.
The Art of Camouflage
Snipers often employ ghillie suits or ‘cobra capes’ to blend with their environment, but the Recce Challenge highlights a multitude of methods and techniques honed by sniper-observers. Each participant is encouraged to practice and master these arts to excel in the challenge.
Experience the thrill of the Recce Challenge, where precision shooting, endurance, and stealth converge. Join us and test your mettle against the demands of the sniper-observer’s craft.
