TEAM MDT Shines Across The Globe

Team MDT delivered outstanding performances across multiple disciplines and locations, showcasing their skill and precision in competition. From the USA to Italy, these competitors demonstrated their ability to excel under various conditions and challenges.

Kicking it off, Team MDT Shooter Mike Lilly claimed an impressive 2nd place finish at the NRL Hunter GA match at Arena Training Facility in Blakely, Georgia.

At the Southern Iowa Showdown PRS match in Diagonal, Iowa, Team MDT Shooter Keith Baker finished strong, earning 3rd place overall. MDT Supported Shooter Zane Kuhn also had an excellent performance, claiming Top Suppressor and 6th place overall in the highly competitive event.

Team MDT Keith Baker 3rd Place

MDT Supported Shooter Michael Bae, a Northwest MDT shooter, and IPRF Rimfire Team Canada member, had a jam-packed weekend, competing in two separate matches across two countries. On Saturday, he participated in a regional PRS rimfire match in Chilliwack, BC. Then, on Sunday, he competed in his first NRL22X match—the NW Evergreen Battle Presented by DM Targets in Snoqualmie, Washington. After enduring 14 hours of travel, Bae secured 1st place in both matches.

Michael credited the modularity and consistency of his MDT ACC Elite chassis for giving him a competitive edge. Initially, he planned to use his newly acquired Modacam Custom Rifles Vudoo 360 for the Chilliwack match. However, due to incomplete paperwork for cross-border transport, he made a last-minute switch, swapping in his factory Vudoo into the ACC Elite chassis on Saturday night. Despite the different barrel profiles, the chassis' modular design and weight system allowed him to balance both rifles identically in mere minutes. After swapping his scope, he found his zero was only 0.2 mils different between both rifles!

Team MDT Italy Dan Gibbons Rory Gibbons Podium

Rory and Daniel Gibbons took their competitive spirit to Livorno, Tuscany, Italy, to compete at the Le Arcate Shooting Range. However, weather complications on the first day forced the organizers to postpone the match due to heavy rain. Fortunately, on the second day, conditions improved, and the competition resumed. Rory Gibbons secured 2nd place, with his brother Daniel taking 3rd overall, making their International trip a great success. Congratulations to all of Team MDT!
