April 13th, 2019

NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 10, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG professional shooters Daniel Horner and Lena Miculek for their National Championship titles at the 2019 USPSA SIG SAUER Multi-Gun Nationals held April 3rd – 7th at the Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida. The 2019 USPSA SIG SAUER Multi-Gun Nationals had 180 individuals competing through twelve stages scored equally for speed and accuracy ranging from 5 to 425 yards.

To claim the Tactical Optics Division National Champion title, Team SIG professional shooter Daniel Horner used the SIG SAUER P320X5 pistol with SIG SAUER Match Elite Pistol 9mm Competition Ammunition for the pistol stages. Horner used the SIG SAUER M400 rifle with a SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6 1-6x24mm riflescope, SIG SAUER Match Elite 223 Rem, FMJ Elite Ball 223 Rem, and Varmint Hunting 223 Rem long range ammunitions for the rifle stages of the competition.

Horner had previously competed as a soldier representing the U.S. Army’s Marksmanship Unit (USAMU).  

“This win was particularly special to me because it was my first time competing at the USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals as a member of Team SIG,” began Horner. “Heading into the three day competition I had two goals, first to bring home a win for Team SIG, and second to showcase the elite performance of the wide range of SIG SAUER products. I am pleased that I achieved both goals and I will continue to prove through competition that SIG SAUER is the leader in the industry for firearms, optics, and ammunition.”  

To claim the Ladies Open Division National Champion title, Team SIG professional shooter Lena Miculek used the SIG SAUER P320X5 with a ROMEO1 Optic, and SIG SAUER Match Elite Pistol 9mm Competition Ammunition for the pistol stages. Miculek used the SIG SAUER M400 rifle with a ROMEO3 optic, and Match Elite 223 Rem, FMJ Elite Ball 223 Rem, and Varmint Hunting 223 Rem ammunitions for the rifle stages of the competition. For long range shooting Miculek also utilized the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics KILO2400 Rangefinder.

“For my first competition of the year I couldn’t be happier with my results,” added Miculek. “Winning the Ladies Open Division title at the USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals was one of the goals I had sent for myself this season, and it comes as a result of dedication to my training and the reliability, accuracy, and performance of my SIG SAUER equipment.”

Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc., continued, “Daniel and Lena’s results at the 2019 USPSA SIG SAUER Multi-Gun Nationals are truly outstanding, and both of them are competing at the top of their game for Team SIG. Throughout the competition they put SIG products through the paces under intense circumstances and proved they can go the distance and win.”
