Widely known as the largest and most sought-after precision rifle match in the world, the 2021 GAP Grind/Bushnell Pro/Am will be hosted by K&M Precision Rifle Training October 1-3 at the K&M Shooting Complex in Finger, Tennessee. In association with the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the competition will include individual, and team awards for both amateurs and professionals.

Pro shooters representing RCBS, Champion and Hoppe’s will be competing throughout the weekend’s events, and the three brands will also bring a variety of products for competitors to see firsthand.

The Link is built off the rock-solid load cell and electronics found in the popular RCBS ChargeMaster Lite, but now offers best-in-class Bluetooth® technology to make reloading easier than ever. The Supreme also features Bluetooth as well as feedback loop algorithms and automatic adjustments as part of its exclusive “Learn Mode” function that helps to make reloading easier than ever.

Products from all three brands will be heavily featured on the prize table and attendees at this year’s match are encouraged to stop by the booth and talk with brand representatives about their personal reloading and gun care needs.

This profile features Logan Toland, a promising young 3-Gun competitor and the network of family support required for a commitment to shooting sports.

“Finding someone you can lean on for input and who will tell it to you straight is so important,” Toland’s mentor and Savage ambassador Josh Froelich added.  “It’s our job to help new shooters and new sportsmen in the community and show them how to be professional, quality additions to the sport.”

“Take the competitive side of Logan away, and you find a young man who simply wants to help bring more people into the shooting space,” Shimanski said. “The shooting sports are full of passionate people who just want to share their passion with others and Logan is one of those people.”
