Held Nov. 5-7 at the Smith & Wesson Employee Sports Center in Springfield, Mass. The theme for this year’s match focused on the “Roaring Twenties,” which challenged competitors with intricate props and shooting obstacles inspired from the decade as they raced through 14 stages of fire using small, concealed-carry-style handguns. Courses of fire required traditional two-handed shooting as well as shooting one-handed at fast moving targets.
