BEAVERTON, Ore. -(Ammoland.com)- Leupold & Stevens, Inc., congratulates Stan Pate on becoming the first F-T/R competitor to earn International Distinguished honors.
As a long-time competitor, Pate has earned numerous honors throughout his F-T/R career.
The International Distinguished award is a culmination of decades of hard work and dedication to his discipline.
“Stan represents the pinnacle of his sport and we’re honored to call him a friend and a partner,” said Rob Morrison, vice president of global marketing for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “His tenacity and perseverance in competition demand that his optics perform at a similar level, which is why he chooses Leupold.”
The coveted International Distinguished badge is earned by accumulating points at authorized matches. In the United States, this program is overseen by the National Rifle Association.
International Distinguished points can only be earned at authorized international competitions.
Points can be earned for the International Distinguished at World Championships, the America Match and the Australia Match.
A total of 30 points must be earned to be recognized as International Distinguished.
“To earn the International Distinguished badge, especially as the first F-T/R shooter to do so, is the pinnacle of my competitive shooting career,” Pate said. “I’m honored to share this award with all of those who have supported me, especially Leupold and the outstanding optics I’ve had the pleasure of using.”
