Hornady® Manufacturing has sponsored the USPSA Area 3 Championship match for the past six years at the Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, Nebraska. Match Director, Sherwyn Greenfield and his team, designed 14 stages using props to force the 265 competitors to test the limits of their shooting ability. Whether engaging targets while navigating across a swinging platform, shooting a course holding a 20-pound medicine ball, or engaging targets through 3-inch ports, competitors' shooting skills and mental abilities were tested on every level.

Greenfield added, "The continued support from Hornady has enabled us to see an annual increase in registration. Growth in shooting sports is always positive."
