It was quite the week at the USA Shooting Nationals held in Colorado Springs. Tensions where high before the start of the match as a large wildfire threatened the outskirts of Colorado Springs, however through the heat and the smoke the shoot began with a bang for the Krieghoff Pro-Staff.

Jaiden Grinnell shot lights out to win gold in Women’s Skeet.  Jaiden posted a score of 269 out of 275 and with a 245 in the qualifying round surpassed two records set by Kim Rhode.  Caitlin Connor was able to take the Silver with a score of 260 and Morgan Craft finished in third for the Junior Division.

Frank Thompson, a member of the 2012 Olympic Team showed that he is ready for London by finishing with a 270 and taking home the Silver in Men’s Skeet. 

In the Double Trap event Billy Crawford was on the top of his game shooting the new K-80 Trap Special DTS.  Billy finished with a perfect 50 in the final to earn him the Gold.  In Men’s Trap Jake Turner finished with a Bronze after a shoot off.  Janessa Beaman also shot very well finishing with the Bronze in Women’s Trap.
