Snipers Unit [tag team members, OTA]
Victoria headed down to the hotel lobby, in search of her new team. A team of all women snipers and ranged fighters? Not bad. And a goddess in the group as well. She had very high hopes and expectations for this lot

She glanced over at Ginger and Ripper. The two dogs can tagged along quietly and now kept a good distance as the others trained. They had been to many training sessions in the past and Kyla knew they would be looking forward to their turn. She'd have to bring them back out later for some of her own drills.
Kyla looked from the dogs to Victoria and nodded. "I'll go next." Better to go now than after everyone.
She set her Barret M99 to the ground and looked through the scope. Both Victoria's shot and Kate's were impressive. If Mark had been here, he'd have laughed at her for being nervous. She was good and he'd say so, but she'd remind him she was young.
Finding an empty target that still had its head, Kyla took aim. Headshots were necessary for her enemies to go down. She took a breath, then exhaled and shot. The bullet hit above the eyes in the forehead which was where the cpu was in a Terminator.

The goddess wordlessly stepped forward after Kyla's "kill" was confirmed, and called her quiver and silver bow to her from the air. After a moment of choosing her victim and aiming, Artemis let loose an arrow. Through the trees, the sun glinted off the shaft sticking out of the dummy's face.
"Four for four," she said, and grinned.

"Alright. How about we go again, but do a timed run this time? See who can 'down' all 10 of the targets in the fastest time?" she pulled out a stopwatch with a smile.

"Sounds good to me." She reloaded the rifle and took aim. Normally sniper shots were all about patience and finding the best shot but out in the real world when you were as much of a target as your victim you had to do fast and clean.
Instead of laying on the ground, Kate held the rifle up to her shoulder and fired in rapid succession before having to reload again. Six were head shots, one abdomen, two in the heart and the last one was in the leg where an artery would be.

Kyla chose to lay back on the ground. The Barret M99 was a single-shot rifle which meant she'd have to reload each bullet between shots. She didn't want to pick any other gun for the convenience - this was her gun.
She shot, reloaded, cocked, and fired with an ease of motion that came with using the gun a lot. She got six head shots like Kate, one shot through the cheek, and two in the neck. Kyla's time was slower than Kate's.

Because she was The Huntress, Artemis favored accuracy over speed though her centuries of built up skill and power gave her movements fluidity. Each of the ten shots to the dummies hit roughly the same spot, one after the other.
[I don't like to automatically assume my pup is better than anyone elses in terms of skill in situations like this just because she's a goddess; a gun could very well be faster than an arrow with a goddess behind it. Greek gods have been bested by mortals before. Victoria-mun can decide Arty's time.]

She nodded in approval, looking down at her stop watch, "All very impressive. I can say I'm glad to have all of you on my team. Artemis had you two beat by only a couple seconds."

"Girl power." She smirked when she said it and set the rifle down next to the weapons bag.
