Becky competed as part of the U.S. Ladies Open Team, earning the gold medal honors for the third time. The team maintained a balance between speed and accuracy to take top honors in their division.
Sean Yackley competed as part of the USA Men’s Standard Team meaning that they chose to shoot with non-magnified sights which makes distant shots particularly challenging. Team USA was up for the challenge however and earned the Silver Medal within their division.
“With targets ranging from 10-385 yards, accuracy is a must,” said Becky Yackley. “We used Winchester USA Ready, White Box FMJ as well as Winchester Reloading Components throughout the event for dependable performance at all ranges.”
