Our shooters worked really hard all season, both at the pistol and at the rifle. Their persistence paid off. We are coming back from the 2016 USA Nationals with the best team performances of any category in 9mm centerfire pistol, rifle iron and rifle optics (3 team golds, and two bronze for our #2 team!), and with four individual gold and two bronze medals!

US Records

Our #1 rifle optics team and our #1 rifle iron team both set SASP US records!

• Our rifle optics team scored 152.88 seconds, improving its own US record established last month at SASP WI State Championship by almost 3 seconds.
• Our rifle iron team scored 161.29 seconds, setting the US record for this discipline in any category.
• Teagan Richman set the women’s US record for rifle optics at 38.66 seconds.
• Teagan Richman set the women’s US record for rifle iron at 42.29 seconds.

As a reminder, our #1 pistol team established a new 9mm centerfire US record of 164.31 seconds last month at WI Nationals. So we now own all three team records.
