WORLD'S FASTEST SHOOTERS COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH WORLD'S NEWEST
It was one for the record books at the Steel
Challenge World Speedshooting Championships in Piru, Calif.
The U.S. Army's Max Michel put on a jaw-dropping performance, finishing
the eight-stage course in a record 79.2 seconds. It was the first
time a shooter had cracked 80 seconds at the event. Two others accomplished
the feat this year as well: K.C. Eusebio and 18-year-old Army shooter
B.J. Norris. Glock shooter Jessica Abbate finished on top in the
women's open class with a time of 1:04.18. The world's fastest handgunners
weren't the only ones shooting in Piru this weekend. Spectators from
around southern California came to try shooting for themselves with the
help of NSSF's First Shots program, Turner's Outdoorsman, Smith & Wesson,
Sturm, Ruger & Co.,
Crimson Trace and others in the industry. Play
