Team SIG SAUER’s Max Michel, Jr., Finishes Second at Pro-Am Championship
All-steel speed match combines fun, fast shooting for pros and amateurs alike.
EXETER, NH –-(Ammoland.com)- SIG SAUER Team Captain Max Michel, Jr., once again showed his mastery of speed and steel with his second-place finish at the fourth-annual Pro-Am Championship over the weekend.
Held in Frostproof, Fla., the Pro-Am Championship has become one of the more popular matches among competitors and spectators alike. Similar to a drag race, the scoring of the all-steel match is simple: Who ever knocks down the most targets within the par time wins.
“It’s just a fun match to shoot,” Michel said. “Being a top shooter himself, Phil Strader (match director) knows how to keep the atmosphere light but still be competitive.”
With a score of 240 targets down, Michel was a mere seven plates from the top spot. Michel won five of the eight stages.
Next up for Michel is the United States Practical Shooting Association Area 3 Championship, held August 11-14 in Grand Island, NE. Michel is the defending Overall champion.
