Well, now that the dust has finally settled on RMAC 2021 and I have finally recovered from all the fun, I wanted to make a quick post first to say thank you to all who made the event go off without a hitch, and second to share how well our RAW and AirForce shooters fared in the match.
We want to extend a huge thank you to all that attended the match, all our fellow sponsors, and especially to Justin and his crew at Utah Airguns for making this awesome event happen. The community of airgunners continues to amaze us with its impeccable level of sportsmanship and integrity. No matter who you work for, shoot for, or what you choose to shoot its great to be around people who are all working to move our hobby and sport forward. So again, kudos to all those who attended, who sponsored, and who took the time to come by and say hello at our booth, stop us around the range to chat, or came and shook our hands. Its a great time to be an airgunner!
We also wanted to dote on the RAW and AirForce shooters who took some of the top spots at the match. They had some very strong performances in multiple disciplines.
In the Precision Marksmanship Challenge, Aaron Hipp walked away with a first place finish with a total score of 850. Aaron was shooting a .25 cal RAW HM1000x chassis rifle topped with a ZCO ZC527 scope, an ATS Barrel Tuner, a GrayOps CNC extended arca rail, Masterpiece Arms M-lock chassis weights and pistol grip, an MDT Ckye Bipod, a Magpul PRS stock, and Armageddon Gear bags
Dave Preston came in 3rd in the Precision Marksmanship Challenge with a score of 810. Dave was also shooting a .25 cal RAW HM1000x topped with a Vortex Razor HD II 4-27 power scope, an ATS Barrel Tuner, GrayOps CNC extended Arca Rails, Atlas Bipod, Masterpiece Arms pistol grip, a LuthAR MBA stock, and Armageddon Gear Bags
Dave also placed 6th in the 100 yard bench rest pro class match with a final score of 219 with 3x's
Abby Casey placed 8th in the 100 yard bench rest pro class match with a final score of 218 with 2x's, she also put up the highest qualifying score in her heat with a total score of 435 with 6x's.

Again, we want to extend a massive thank you to all that came out to shoot the event, or worked in one way or another to make it happen. As always we had a fantastic time and can't wait till we can do it again!
