Nick Betts is a seasoned combat veteran. He’s served three tours of duty — a total of 36 months — in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army recon sniper. He’s even going back for more, returning soon to Iraq as a contracted sniper in Baghdad.
Betts was in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in 2006 and 2007 when it was one of the most dangerous areas in the entire country. He happened to be in Ramadi at the same time the late legendary Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell were also serving there.
So, it goes without saying that there aren’t many people more qualified to offer advice to shooters who want to sharpen their skills. We coincidentally ran into Betts at the 2015 SHOT Show at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
