Victory was no stranger to Brad, having previously won this event in the sub-junior category in 1996 and junior category in 1997.

After the awards ceremony, Brad said, “I have never shot better then I am currently with the Zoli in my hands. The trigger is sharp and crisp and it’s the softest over and under I have ever shot. The match had very difficult target presentations requiring me to mentally focus on my shooting abilities, so having confidence in my shotgun was paramount. Winning this championship was a lifetime achievement, something I dreamed about my whole life. I dedicated my win to my mentor Scott who introduced me to competitive shooting when I was ten years old.”
