Andrew Hyder placed 6th in the Open Division and teammate, Jessie Duff, placed 9th and received High Lady honors, “This championship was extremely challenging and the stage designs required competitors to be very accurate. I used Hornady 9mm 125 gr. HAP bullets because they’re the most accurate bullets available!” said Duff. Also placing in the Open Division was Team Hornady member, Bobby McGee at 20th.
