OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – August 12, 2022 – RCBS®, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, recently wrapped up its first-ever “RCBS Rumble” – the company’s own Precision Rifle Series match, after years of sponsoring and supporting other PRS events nationwide.

“Our team couldn’t be happier with how the inaugural RCBS Rumble turned out,” said Laurie Kokoruda, senior product manager and match director.  “We have been discussing such an opportunity for years and thanks to the tremendous support we received not just locally but from our sponsors nationwide, the match was even better than we could have predicted. RCBS has supported PRS competitions for decades and it was great to see our brand take the lead in making a match of this caliber happen.”

Kokoruda continued, “A special thanks is owed to all the range officers and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make the match move smoothly. We heard nothing but positive feedback from the shooters all weekend and we hope to be back next year in an even bigger way.”

The RCBS Rumble was held August 6 in RCBS’s and GA Precision’s own backyard near Pleasant Hill, Missouri. With additional support from partners including Bushnell, Hoppe’s, Federal Ammunition, GA Precision and Manner’s Composite Stocks, the Rumble drew 75 elite PRS Pro Series shooters from across the country and sold out of registration spots in less than an hour. In addition to the main competition, the match included side stages sponsored by Manners Composite Stocks and Bushnell.

The match heated up quickly, not just with a heat index of 105 degrees, but with a fast-paced, challenging course of fire that included buses, trucks and other props. Team RCBS and Elite Tactical shooter Troy Livesay took fourth place at the match, taking home one of the coveted trophies – custom RCBS presses. First through fifth place won gold, silver, bronze and copper RCBS Summit™ presses, while the top shooter in each class also received a custom copper RCBS Rebel press. Team RCBS and Elite Tactical shooter Melissa Gilliland claimed the Top Lady title at the match.

RCBS would like to congratulate all the shooters who participated in this year’s event as well as extend its thanks to the many sponsors who helped contribute to the match.

ANOKA, Minnesota – June 15, 2022 – Team Federal congratulates brand ambassador Josh Froelich on winning 1st Overall and 1st Open Division titles at the 2022 Vortex JP Tri-Gun held at Forest Lake Sportsman’s Club in Minnesota, June 11-12. Federal Ammunition was a Platinum Sponsor for the event.

“This event is shotgun heavy, as most Minnesota events are, and had a focus on technical shooting skills. That meant small steel plates and challenging paper targets. A lot of movement and difficult shooting positions were the name of the game up here,” stated Froelich, a Minnesota native, who relied on Federal handgun, rifle, and shotshell ammunition to win big at this prestigious match. “Competition is always tight and many of the best in the country come up to Minnesota to compete. The Minnesota TriGun Championship is one of my favorite events of the year and I am super excited that I was able to secure the win here in 2022.”

Team Federal’s Tucker Schmidt took 3rd in the Open Division and 5th Overall. Varick Beise took 3rd in Tactical Optics Division and 6th Overall.

“This match had some great shooters in attendance, as always. Froelich did what Froelich does, and he cleaned house,” said Jason Spradling, Federal’s Shooting Sports Promotions Manager. “Tucker and Varick fought hard to claim third place finishes in each of their divisions. Federal congratulates all of these guys on their successes.”

“I was fortunate enough to pull a 3rd place finish in a stacked field of competitors,” said Schmidt. “I was running the Federal Gold Medal Match with 69-grain Sierra bullets in my rifle. They always provide handload-level quality, consistency, and they never disappoint. That’s why I choose Federal.”

“This match was very fun and challenging, with most of the stages involving running bay to bay or through the woods. The longer stages and sporty shots made this match one of my favorites,” said Beise. “The event organizers there put together a great match for all shooters. I am grateful for the good range officers, volunteers and sponsors that made it all possible.”

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct. For more on Federal ammunition, visit www.federalpremium.com.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – May 20, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, is celebrating pro shooter KC Eusebio’s Open Division win at the 2022 Dragons Cup, where he successfully defended his title from the previous year. Fresh off his recent wins at the World Speed Shooting Championship, Eusebio returned to the USPSA circuit with his trusted Bushnell First Strike 2.0 reflex sight to claim the Open title.

“This year’s Dragons Cup was one of the hardest matches I’ve shot in over the last few years, and I absolutely loved it,” said Eusebio. “When you must push yourself against 107-degree weather, moving targets and accuracy driven stages, your gear absolutely cannot fail. And once again, the Bushnell red dot did not let me down. Its large objective lens allowed me to easily call my shots while always providing a full field of view. There’s just so much to like about the FS2 that I can’t imagine using anything else on my Open division rig.”

Featuring a large objective lens, the First Strike 2.0 is extremely versatile and lets users quickly find their target with ease. It features a crisp, 3-MOA dot reticle along with an increased recoil rating plus enhanced brightness capabilities. Other updates on the legacy sight include a new battery door and a user-selectable timer, which helps deliver an industry-leading battery life lasting up to 50,000 hours.

ONTARIO, Calif. – KC Eusebio continued his storied success at last weekend’s World Speed Shooting Championship. Eusebio finished First Overall in the Open Division for the ninth time—becoming the first-ever shooter to do so. Eusebio runs a Safariland 015 Holster and Model 773 Mag Pouches in a full schedule of competitions.

KC Eusebio’s shooting career began at the age of eight, and for much of his adult life, he has been a regular atop the podium. Eusebio has numerous World Championships under his belt in several disciplines. He hails from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and has taught hundreds of soldiers and civilians.

“Being the first to win nine World Speed Shooting Championships is definitely a highlight of my shooting career,” said Eusebio. “Speed is the name of the game and there might not be any shooting competition where the speed and quantities of the draw play such an impact on your performance as it does in the World Speed Shooting Championships. Once again, Safariland has helped me capture another milestone victory at the highest level of competition shooting. A big thank you to my Safariland family for always supporting me with the best holsters and gear.”

The World Speed Shooting Championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of handgun competitions across the globe. It pits the top shooters in the world against each other and is sponsored by the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) and the Steel Challenge Shooting Association.

When he is not competing, Eusebio is an avid hunter and conservationist and continues to instruct shooters of all types and skill levels, including the Special Operations community.
