DAF Action Rifle Team

09/07/2026

Hello all,
It is that time of year again!
While the team remains in provisional status, it is in a strong position and may eventually be codified in Air Force guidance. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of the team, serve as an ambassador for the Department of the Air Force, and carry forward the tradition of service members competing in fi****ms sports.
Who I’m looking for:
Airmen and Guardians actively competing in sanctioned matches in any of the following disciplines:
• PRS Centerfire
• PRS/NRL .22
• NRL Hunter
• Precision Gas Gun
• Quantified Performance
• Multi-Gun (2-Gun / 3-Gun)
Current expectations:
• Be an active competitor in your shooting sport
• Maintain membership in the applicable competition series for score tracking
• Maintain Department of the Air Force standards for dress and appearance, fitness, body composition, upgrade training, and professional military education
• Represent the Department of the Air Force professionally at all times, both on and off the range
• Passing PT Tests
• No disciplinary issues
FY27 team outlook:
For FY27, the team may expand to 8 members, an increase from the 5 slots in FY26.
To be fully transparent, 3 of the additional slots are not expected to include reimbursement funding. However, those members will still be able to establish ammo accounts.
To avoid overloading my work email, please contact me at Dafactionr***[email protected] .
There you will get further information and receive documents to complete so we can conduct team selection. You will hear from myself or SSgt Ethan Jones.
If your sport isn't listed here please still feel free to still reach out and I can vector you to the correct shooting team.

Finally the cut off for scores will be 16 October 2026 with selection being around the beginning of November.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from fellow DAF competitors.

SSgt Ethan Jones competed in the July Geissele Automatics Gas Gun Match at Coleman’s Creek, taking 1st in Tac Limited Division and 8th Overall.

“The Coleman’s Creek Geissele Gas Gun Series put on by Mark Le and the Coleman’s Creek Staff is an amazing match that pushes the comfort zone of most gas gun r***emen. I can’t recommend it enough.”

The previous day, he competed in the Proving Grounds Tactical Sniper Series, taking 3rd in Bolt Gun Division.

Technical Sergeant Cody Leeper competed in the 2026 Snake River Outdoorsman taking 1st both Overall and in Factory Division despite battling a gear malfunction that would take most shooters out of a match. Below is what he had to say about the match.

“The 2026 Snake River Outdoorsman was incredible! Seth and Brian always put on a great match but this was my favorite yet. Amazing venue and amazing people I got the pleasure to shoot with. Overall an amazing weekend!”
