SHACKLESFORD, VA –-(Ammoland.com)- Team International Training, Inc. (ITI) sent five team members to compete in the inaugural IDPA World Championship, held September 21st through September 24th, 2011 at the Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, FL.

The match proved great for the entire team. Approximately 400 current IDPA members came out to compete against the country’s best to lay claim to glory and fame.

Team Captain Brandon Wright finished 2nd overall Stock Service Pistol (3rd Overall for the match) with a score of 289.82.

“I am very pleased with the results that Team ITI put on the score board for the first ever IDPA World Championship,” commented Wright. “We had a total of five team members giving it their all through 20+ stages in the grueling heat and humidity of Florida’s weather. Almost 400 shooters from all over the world showed up to compete in this event and Team ITI had two of its members in the Top Ten: myself (3rd Overall) and Morgan Allen (6th Overall).”

Wright continued, “My thanks go out to Curt Nichols, Jerry Biggs and all the hard working staff that help set this match up. Also I would like to congratulate all the division winners on a great match.”

Morgan Allen, selected to compete for Team USA as the Enhanced Service Pistol (ESP) Division representative, as well as for Team ITI, finished 2nd overall ESP (6th Overall for the match) with a score of 312.35.

“It’s a great cap on the year to have been a part of the IDPA World Champion US Team and to have finished 2nd in the ESP Division,” commented Allen. “The support I’ve received in both substance and encouragement has been fantastic and humbling at the same time.”

Gary Byerly finished 4th overall Custom Defense Pistol with a score of 362.31.

“Twenty-two stages over two days of shooting means the shooter who makes the least mistakes and stays focused will rise to the top,” Byerly said.

“Top finishers at this match earned their awards due to the additional difficulty level of some of the stages along with the weather conditions. Being able to rapidly develop a plan and execute it was mandatory to do well. A solid fundamental base allows skill sets to be ‘plugged in’ as needed. This allows one to identify and adapt to changing conditions. Training with my teammates is an invaluable resource for my personal progress. Congratulations to Brandon and Morgan for their excellent performance!”

Laura Torres-Reyes brought home 2nd Place Lady in Stock Service Pistol, while Rob Middaugh finished 12th Enhanced Service Pistol Master with a score of 378.03.
