Top Pro Earns Victories at World Speed Shooting, Georgia USPSA Championships

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 8, 2020 – Bushnell® and Hoppe’s®  congratulate Jessie Harrison on a winning weekend of competitive shooting at the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championship and the Georgia State USPSA Championship. Harrison shot her way to top honors with multiple Bushnell red dots including her trusted First Strike 2.0 and the recently released RXS-250.

At the World Speed Shooting Championship on September 23-25 in Talladega, Alabama, Harrison claimed her 12th Ladies Open title and placed second in Overall Single Stack shooting the First Strike 2.0. She also used the First Strike 2.0 to win High Lady Overall competing in the Open division at the Georgia event on September 26.

“One of the most important aspects in shooting is being able to see and having an optic that gives me a precise dot with intensity, clarity through the lens and durability—a key component to continued success,” Harrison said. “The First Strike 2.0 fits the list of what I need in a red dot and I can confidently head into competition.”

Featuring a massive objective lens, the First Strike 2.0 is extremely versatile and allows users to quickly find their targets. It includes a weaver-style mount and is at home on both shotguns and flat-top MSRs. It can also be fitted to customized Open Class pistols. It features an industry-leading battery life that lasts up to 50,000 hours, with a bright 3-MOA dot.

In the Rimfire Pistol Optics division at the World Speed Shooting Championship, Harrison ran Bushnell’s RXS-250, a new red dot designed to deliver top-shelf performance and exceptional durability. The RXS-250 represents a new class of high-performing reflex sights with its impact-resistant design, user-adjustable brightness settings and True Tone coatings that deliver a vivid, clear view free of distortion. The new red dot is standard with a top-loading CR2032 battery compartment and is compatible with the DeltaPoint® Pro footprint for direct mounting to optics-ready pistols.

“I’m excited about this new addition to the Bushnell red dot line,” Harrison said. “The RXS-250 has a super-sturdy housing and a clear 4-MOA dot with 10 brightness settings. This red dot is a great option for competition, recreational shooting, self-defense and hunting. You’ll see me running it on multiple platforms!”

Hoppe’s also played a key role in Harrison’s winning performances. ““Hoppe’s Black is my go-to product line and paired with a BoreSnake Viper, it gave me that crisp, clean gun feel that I love right before the Steel Challenge World Championships,” she explained. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to clean guns in between Steel Challenge and the Georgia State match, so Hoppe’s Gun Medic pushed me through the match without having to worry about a dirty gun.”

Harrison noted that Hoppe’s Black cleaning spray, Hoppe’s Elite gun oil and Hoppe’s Lead-B-Gone wipes were also part of her cleaning arsenal at the World Speed Shooting Championships.

Harrison is the first female shooter to achieve Grand Master status with the United States Practical Shooting Association and boasts an impressive list of accolades across five shooting disciplines, including multiple World and National Champion shooting titles.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 1, 2020 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, proudly continues its title sponsorship of the GAP Grind Pro/Am with full engagement of Elite Tactical scopes and other products, as well as Team Bushnell precision rifle shooting professionals.

Widely known as the largest and most sought-after precision rifle match in the world, the 2020 GAP Grind/Bushnell Pro/Am will be hosted by K&M Precision Rifle Training October 2-4 at the K&M Shooting Complex in Finger, Tennessee. In association with the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the format will again be a professional-amateur, individual and team match to promote sportsmanship and welcome new shooters to the competition scene. Competitors ranging from top professionals to those seeking their first taste of the sport are invited to attend.

On Friday, October 2, Bushnell will sponsor a side match featuring the RXS-250, a new red dot designed to offer class-leading performance and exceptional durability. Attendees are encouraged to witness firsthand the high-performing RXS-250. With its impact-resistant design, 10 user-adjustable brightness settings that extend from low night-vision compatibility to high day-bright visibility and True Tone coatings that deliver a vivid, clear view free of distortion, the RX-250 represents a new standard of high performing reflex sights. 

In addition, Bushnell will provide prizes to competitors and range officers alike. A lucky amateur will receive a glass upgrade in the form of a new Elite Tactical optic. Range officers will receive product prizes to thank them for their time and dedication to the sport.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see new Bushnell products such as the LMSS II Elite Tactical spotting scope and the Elite Tactical DMR II Pro and XRS II riflescopes. They will also be among the first to view the new Elite Tactical logo, which makes its debut at the event.

GAP Grind (GA Precision is also a title sponsor), is a high-tempo match with minimal down time between stages. Competitors can expect 20-plus stages throughout the weekend. The course of fire will test and train disciplines from across law enforcement, military and practical marksman spectrums. Competitors can expect engagements at an assortment of steel, reactive, and automated moving targets out to 1,200 yards. Target size will vary in difficulty based on the shooter’s position, distance and time allotted. Most stages will include “stressors” of time and/or movement. The competition will require 200 rounds to complete the course of fire. 

In PRS competition, Elite Tactical optics are commonly used by competitors to help maximize their performance. The rock-solid build quality of Elite Tactical scopes with reliable tracking, and reticle options for holding or dialing enable precise shot placement impact-after-impact. The scopes’ tight tolerances and machine-grade turrets help provide audible and tactile confirmation when adjusting without shooters having to look up from the reticle or lose sight of targets.

Atlanta Arms is proud to announce another prestigious win with our Elite line of ammunition at the 2020 Safariland / USPSA Single Stack Classic held in Talladega, AL.

“I’ve found that in order to shoot my best and be competitive at the upper levels, I cannot leave anything to chance. Nor use anything but the absolute best products. Ammunition is a huge factor in this and I am certain much of my success is due to my use of Atlanta Arms’ ammo. Consistency of velocity, the highest level of accuracy, and the absolute lowest recoil possible can only be achieved through non-stop testing, endless experimentation, and rigorous quality control. When I win, it is because I have better equipment than the next guy. Atlanta Arms ammunition is a key ingredient and gives me the edge I need to perform at my best. ” – Rob Leatham
