Manners Composite Stocks was proud to see several shooters not only qualify for the prestigious Armageddon Gear Cup but also shoot and place well throughout the event.
For the 3-day event, all shooters had to make the cut to move on to the next day. With half the field being sent home on Day 1, all of the Manners team shooters made the cut and moved on to Day 2. This was no easy feat as the nation’s top shooters were bringing their best. Not only did all MCS shooters advance, but Brian Allen had the top score that day while shooting with our new PRS-TCS. All but one MCS shooter chose the TCS, with Troy Livesay staying with the T4A.
Day 2 brought a new challenge for shooters; another cut on the horizon while the top echelon was dropping few, if any, points. Being on a completely different range with different stages and props meant everyone had to stay on their game. MCS was proud to have 2 of our shooters make the cut and move on to Day 3: Brian Allen and Robert Brantley. This was quite an accomplishment considering the competition started with 50 of the nation’s best shooters and only 10 moved on to Day 3.
Day 3 was a teeth-grinder comprised of similar stages in an unprecedented effort to make the competition as fair as possible. If one squad was shooting a 1000-yard stage, the other squad would also in case the winds changed and increased the difficulty. If one squad move to a 400-yard target array, the other squad did the same. The match organizers created a challenging Course of Fire and forced competitors to shoot in ways and off props they likely had never seen before. On top of that, all stages were blind, so competitors did not know what to expect. These hurdles kept all the competitors on their toes.
After a grueling final day of shooting, the MCS Team finished the tournament with Brian Allen making the final cut and Robert Brantley on the podium with a 2nd-Place finish. MCS could not be more proud to see our products and shooters find success on such a challenging CoF.
We would like to congratulate and thank all of our shooters for participating and making this event one to remember:
Brian Allen, Robert Brantley, Jason Greene, Shannon Kay, Troy Livesay, Derek Love, and Charles Roberts.
