USA Shooting Participates at 2007 Shooting Industry Masters

Seven top USA Shooting athletes along with many of the finest shooters in the shooting sports industry attended the 2007 Shooting Industry Masters July 27-28 in Corona, Calif. U.S. Shooting Team members were treated to a day of sporting clays competition as well as cowboy action rifle and pistol stages at Mike Raahauge’s Shooting Complex.

USA Shooting Team members demonstrated that their shooting skills extend beyond their primary international discipline with Glenn Eller (Katy, Texas), Josh Richmond (Hillsgrove, Pa.), Keith Sanderson (San Antonio, Texas) and Breanna Heckenkamp (San Diego, Calif.) claiming third place in the open team category. Eller also took the top overall shooter award in the same category.

Other USA Shooting Team members participating in the event were Jason Turner (Rochester, N.Y.), Joe Hein (Lansing, Mich.), Tamara Desso (Castaic, Calif.) and USAS Director of Marketing Buddy DuVall.

The Shooting Industry Masters promotes the theme of the National Shooting Sports Federation’s (NSSF) STEP OUTSIDE program which encourages sportsmen and women to introduce newcomers to hunting and target shooting, and also supports the program with a generous donation.

Added to this year's shooting event was the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence Awards presented by Randy Molde and Russ Thurmond of FMG Publications to honor those companies producing new and innovative products.
