Exceptional marksmanship was on display at the King of 1 & 2 Miles event in France.

This prestigious extreme long-range event, held from 7–11 May 2026 in Canjuers, Europe’s largest military training camp in Montferrat, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of southern France, brought together approximately 230 elite shooters from around the world.  

The competition featured shooting distances of up to 3,230 metres in the King of 2 Miles Final. These extraordinary ranges pushed both, equipment and competitors, to their limits. This year's event was made even more challenging by the constantly changing wind conditions, which put immense pressure on the spotters, whose accurate wind calls and corrections were crucial throughout.  

Several KAHLES shooters competed in this event, demonstrating exceptional skills, focus, and teamwork in challenging conditions. Their performances reflected the high level of preparation and dedication required to prevail in one of the world’s toughest long-range shooting competitions.  

As a main sponsor of the King of 1 & 2 Miles in France, KAHLES presented the new REFINED product line to trade partners, sport shooters and professional users. Live demonstrations and hands-on product experiences left a strong impression on participants, showcasing the outstanding performance of the new lineup in real-world conditions.  

 The enthusiastic response and electrifying atmosphere throughout the event once again highlighted our close connection with trade partners, members of armed forces and law enforcement as well as the global shooting community.
