Taya Kyle Plans to Take on World Champion Shooter

By Published on November 3, 2015

Taya Kyle has a mission.

Armed with a TrackingPoint rifle, Kyle will dodge explosions and flying trucks in her own battlefield for approximately two hours in December — all in an effort to raise money for families of first-responders and veterans.

Kyle, the wife of famous American Sniper Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, will compete Dec. 5 in what is being heralded as “the Super Bowl of shooting competitions” against Bruce Piatt, reigning National Rife Association world champion shooter, for the hefty prize of $1 million in the American Sniper Shootout.

John McHale, CEO and chairman of TrackingPoint, told TheBlaze in an interview that the competition to be held in Mason, Texas, is designed as a “made for TV event” that will eventually be turned into a documentary. During the competition, Kyle and Piatt will take shots designed to mimic those that U.S. soldiers may have to take during war.
