A

fter winning last year’s King of 2 Miles

competition – a three-day extreme

long-range match featuring some of the

best shooters from around the world

• returning to the NRA Whittington
  Center in Raton, New Mexico, to compete this year
  was very exciting and highly anticipated. Knowing
  that no previous winning team has ever made the
  finale the next year definitely added an extra level
  of pressure. My team at Manners Composite Stocks
  decided to take a similar approach as we did last
  year. Running raw horsepower, simple strategy and
  minimal gear is easy to manage on the clock and
  makes for easy transitions between targets.
