From the rugged landscapes of South Africa to the challenging winds of Virginia, Team MDT has started the season strong! Kicking it off, MDT-supported shooter and YouTuber Pieter Malan secured 1st place, with Donovan Cool following closely in 2nd place at the SAPRF Centrefire PRS Leupold Optics Relentless Challenge. The event, hosted by Axis Precision Worx, occurred at a brand-new venue on Romansriver farm in the picturesque Ceres Valley, Western Province.

Down in Virginia, Team MDT shooter Ken Sanoksi delivered an impressive performance at the VPRC Rifleman's Revival at the legendary Pigg River Range in Rocky Mount, Virginia. Battling some of the strongest winds ever seen at the venue, Sanoksi entered the final day with a one-point lead. However, a few missed shots in challenging wind conditions ultimately saw him finish in 4th place. With three matches under his belt this season, Ken has already accumulated over 291 PRS points, setting the tone for a strong year ahead. Ken Sanoski MDT

In Colorado, MDT-supported shooter Jaxon Golightly dominated the 2025 Burris UHRC Invitational, taking home 1st place at the Cameo Shooting Complex in Grand Junction, Colorado. Golightly's performance showcased his precision and adaptability in a highly competitive field.

Brady Allinson finished 2nd, Ricks Munn took 3rd place, and Kris Haughian was awarded Top Amateur. The match, held at the base of the breathtaking Snake River Gorge, challenged competitors with rugged natural terrain and complex wind patterns reminiscent of the 2024 PRS Finale. Brady Allison MDT

Up in Ireland, MDT shooters completed a podium sweep at the Irish PRS Rimfire Match in Derrymore, Ireland. Sean Dowling dominated the competition, taking 1st place overall as well as Top Junior, while MDT-supported shooter Dean Farrell secured 2nd place, and Team MDT shooter Rory Gibbons rounded out the podium in 3rd place. Dowling's performance also secured his qualification for the IPRF World Championship in the UK later this year.

"I am beyond thrilled to have taken first place in both Open and Juniors at my most recent competition. It was the final qualification round for selecting the team to represent Ireland at the IPRF World Championship in the UK later this year. I couldn't have done it without my new upgrade to an MDT chassis. My CZ457 and Element Optics scope performed flawlessly, leading to my win while dropping only four shots throughout the day."
