Well, I hope this is permitted- I tried contacting Frank, but seem to have struck out on getting through.

I don't really want to put ALL of his business and details out there, but one member of the first place team in both the 2016 Winston P Wilson Sniper Competition, and 2016 International Sniper Competition, SGT "Keo" recently suffered $25,000 loss when his vehicle was broken into. I urged him to set up a go fund me, but he said he wouldn't feel right asking for handouts, so I said "the hell with it, I'll do it for you!".

Perhaps the most painful part of this loss is that the Larue PreditOBR that was the main prize in his prize package at the Benning comp, was among the items stolen.

He wasn't storing his gear in his vehicle, it's simply a case of impeccable timing on the part of the thief(s).

Understand, this isn't a gofundme to replace firearms- that is against the rules, and really, his Larue rifle is non-replaceable as it was essentially a trophy. Similar to how an olympian's gold medal cannot be simply replaced. This is to replace the various equipment items he lost that aid in his job as a Sniper, and in competition as well as training, and to offset the financial loss as a whole. What exact items he choses to replace with these funds will be up to him, as he knows best what will help him win this year.

Please, donate if you can afford a few bucks. He's a hell of a guy, and this is really bad timing given he's currently training up to attend the 2017 Benning competition.


Thanks everyone.

Damn. I can't turn my eye away from my vehicle when it's got shit like that in it... That'd make me sick.

They should provide cages at those damn things like they do in basic training, you know? Maybe have some Sand Hill ABN Hold guys to watch 'em too.

This was at his home, I believe right after returning from the range. Took a few minutes rest before unloading, and someone got to it before him.


I've never known this to happen to anyone I actually knew. It's now got me paranoid to stop and go in to a restaurant for a sit down meal with my gear in my truck.
 
Good news, we're 40% of the way to our goal!!! Again, keep the shares going and if you find you've got a little extra cash, perhaps toss some more toward the campaign!

Thanks again for all your support!!
