Team Hornady Shooter Tate Moots Wins 3-Gun Event

Hornady Ammunition

Grand Island, NE --(AmmoLand.com)- The first annual Adams Arms Ozark 3-Gun Championship, held September 25 – 27, 2009 in Kaiser, Missouri brought out 100 plus shooters, with Tate Moots winning the Heavy Metal Class. Winning all eight stages, shot on natural open terrain was quite a challenge as Mother Nature’s unpredictability presented various lighting conditions along with wet and muddy loose gravel for competitors to struggle with.

Moots, a member of Team Hornady for over three years selected Hornady 45 Auto 230 grain XTP ammo in his STI 1911 and 308 155 grain TAP FPD in his DPMS LR-308. Always looking for new shooting adventures, Tate also competes in Sniper Matches using Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor 140 A-MAX ammunition.

After winning the Heavy Metal Class, Tate said, “Hornady ammunition never fails me. In 3-Gun competitions, it’s critical for me to be able to rely on my equipment running. Hornady ammo always does just what it’s suppose to, it always performs.”

“The heavy metal class requires an extra level of focus due to increased recoil and iron sighted rifles, it’s critical that the ammunition performs flawlessly, guys like Tate make it look easy, and we’ll keep doing our best to make them look good.” said Steve Johnson, Hornady Marketing Communications Manager.

The Bill Wilson Carry Pistol – BWC-CP-45
After the Outdoor Channel’s airing of the NRA’s American Rifleman Segment on Bill Wilson and Wilson Combat, we received tons of calls wanting details of the pistol that Bill was shown with during the show.

The Bill Wilson Carry Pistol - BWC-CP-45

Wilson Combat

Berryville, AR - -(AmmoLand.com)- BWC-CP-45 – After the Television appearances by the boss (Bill Wilson), we received so many calls to find out which pistol Bill carries on a daily basis. Well here it is!! The “Bill Wilson Carry Pistol” is the pistol Bill carries every day. He gave me the complete list of his favorite touches and how a carry gun should be outfitted.

Take a Wilson Combat CQB Compact, add the new “Round Butt” treatment, shorten the slide stop pin and counter sink the frame (giving you the option to use the Crimson Trace laser grips), slide top serrations, our new “Carry Cuts”, and finally this wonderful pistol is fitted with Bill’s favorite thumb-safety. This “Carry pistol” is outfitted exactly as Bill would want it, wearing a set of Wilson Combat Starburst G10 grips with a black slide over a grey frame custom built to exacting standard by some of the best pistolsmiths in the world today.

“After a short discussion about the features that he wanted in his carry gun the Bill Wilson Carry Pistol was born. Start with the time proven CQB Compact, add a round butt for absolute shooting comfort, carry cuts to slim the slide front profile making re-holstering easier, slide top serrations to cut the glare when picking up the front sight, shorten the slide stop for a thinner profile while allowing the use of laser grips, and finally mark it with “BW” giving Bill’s stamp of approval. All of this in Bill’s favorite colors, black slide over a grey frame makes for not only a great looking pistol, but a formidable concealed carry pistol. Remember the Gun of the Month is a spot light on a gun that is currently available in limited quantities, so hurry if you want one now. Contact your local Dealer or your Wilson Combat Representative for details on how you can get one for your holster.”

If you are looking for the perfect carry pistol and you were never sure how exactly it should be, here it is with all the features handpicked to match the gun that Bill carries daily.
