SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — -(AmmoLand.com)- Bar-Sto Precision, the most recognized name in custom aftermarket pistol barrels, has returned to sponsor the fastest and most exciting stage of the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships, Smoke & Hope, according to Steel Challenge officials.
“Since the early days of the Steel Challenge, Bar-Sto Precision has been supporting the match.
