Spring 2025 has been a whirlwind of success for Team MDT, with shooters racking up wins, top finishes, and hard-earned accolades at matches around the globe. From Alabama to the hills of Kentucky and even across the pond in the UK, MDT athletes continue to prove why they're among the best in precision rifle shooting.
At the Alabama Precision Shooters Challenge in Carbon Hill, Alabama, the course of fire was both technical and demanding—exactly what competitors have come to expect from match director Levi Wilson. Despite tricky winds and challenging stages, Michael Lilly rose to the occasion and secured 1st Place Overall along with Top Suppressor. His wife and fellow Team MDT shooter, Kili Lilly, also delivered a standout performance, taking home Top Lady honors.

Reflecting on the weekend, Michael shared: "We had a great weekend as a couple at the Alabama Precision Regional match. Levi Wilson put on a great COF that challenged you on every shot. I shot really well in one of the trickier wind days I've shot in at AP and managed to secure my second win of the season. Kili Lilly also managed to take home top lady honors. It's truly a blessing to have a spouse that enjoys sharing this journey with me. #couplegoals".
In Somerset, Kentucky, the Yeti Spring Fling NRL22X match greeted competitors with freezing temperatures and thick fog that delayed the event's start. But once the sun broke through, it turned into a beautiful—albeit demanding—day of shooting. Ruth Soucie showed resilience and focus through the conditions, earning Top Lady and continuing a packed competition season.

From Ruth - "It's the 5th of 10 matches I'll be shooting in 6 months across nine different states," Ruth said. "Weather was challenging, starting the day at freezing temperatures with dense fog delaying the event—but the sun came out and warmed everything up!"
Out west at the 2025 Koenig-Ruger Precision Rifle Competition, hosted at the renowned Cameo Shooting Complex in Grand Junction, Colorado, MDT Supported Shooter Brady Allinson secured an impressive 4th Place Overall.
