Posted on July 19, 2016 by Justin Stakes Max Michel Sig SauerNewington, NH
-(AmmoLand.com)- SIG SAUER, Inc., is pleased to announce that Team SIG member,
Max Michel, was named the Overall Champion, as well as the Open Division title
winner, at the 2016 United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) Area 7
Championship held at the Capitol City Rifle and Pistol Club in Augusta,
Maine.The recent victory marks Michel’s fifth USPSA Area 7 division title and
his fourth USPSA championship so far this season.At this year’s USPSA Area 7
Championship, Michel faced off against 295 competitors from across the country.
With seven divisional titles up for grabs along with the Overall title,
competitors took aim against obstacle-laden courses as they were required to
draw their firearms, negotiate obstacles, and shoot on the move, all while
engaging a variety of steel and paper targets.Michel, who competed with a
customized SIG SAUER double-stack 1911 pistol, was able to secure a top-place
finish in each of the 10 stages of fire, earning him a perfect match score of
1020.0. This incredible performance allowed Michel to easily take home the Open
Division title by placing him more than 217 points ahead of the second closest
divisional competitor.
“I have always enjoyed competing in USPSA matches and this year was no
exception,” said Michel. “At every competition, the courses of fire are always
challenging yet enjoyable to shoot. Each competitor knows that in order to
excel a tremendous amount of preparation and dedication has to be exhibited,
and I’m reminded of this every time I step out to compete.”
Max MichelAs Michel made his way through the 10 stages of fire, he remained
confident that his gear would be ready for the task at hand regardless of what
challenges laid ahead.
“Any time you compete in a sport that has no do-overs, having confidence in
your equipment is a huge advantage,” said Michel. “I have always been able to
count on my SIG pistol to run flawlessly, allowing me the ability to focus on
my own performance. Being able to accurately breakdown a stage so that it best
suits your own strengths is something that can set you apart from your fellow
competitors. Having the right gear is an essential part of the equation.”
Up next on Michel’s schedule is the MGM Junior Camp on July 22nd. He will serve
as the lead instructor at the camp, which provides a hands-on introduction to
the sport of competitive shooting for 60 kids.For more information about SIG
