WEST HARTFORD, Conn. –-(Ammoland.com)- Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC congratulates sponsored shooter Mark Redl for his outstanding shooting so far this year.

Redl has placed in the top five of all the major IDPA and USPSA events he has competed in this year, which include the 17th Annual Massachusetts State IDPA Championship, the New York State 2-Gun Championship and the Long Island Practical Shooters (LIPSA) Spring Blast.

Redl won six of 10 stages at the Mass. State IDPA Championship on June 1 and 2, securing his victory in the Custom Defensive Pistol Division. His final time was 197.82 seconds, with 38 targets down, which also earned him the spot as the third most accurate shooter of the weekend.

“We are very proud of Mark’s outstanding performance amongst multiple fields of competitive shooters,” said Joyce Rubino, Vice President of Marketing for Colt’s Manufacturing Company. “We look forward to watching him continue to succeed in his upcoming IDPA and USPSA matches.”

Redl’s success this year also extends to the USPSA matches in which he has competed. On May 4 and 5 at the New York State 2-Gun Championship, he finished fourth in the Limited 10 division. Redl had an outstanding run at the LIPSA Spring Blast USPSA Match on May 18 and 19. Here he finished in first place in the A class and second overall in the Single Stack division.

“I’m thrilled with the successes I’ve been able to achieve this season through hard work and with the support of Colt’s Manufacturing,” said Redl. “I take a lot of pride in the fact that I use the same Colt guns that anyone else could get off the shelf in my matches. It’s a true testament to the quality and precision that goes into every single Colt handgun and rifle.”

This weekend, Redl will compete in one of three national level IDPA matches, the Carolina Cup. Colt is a corporate sponsor of this event. On the IDPA circuit, Redl also looks forward to working toward the title of “King of New England,” a three-event competition taking place throughout the season. The first event of the series was the Mass. State Championship, where Redl won all four of the qualifying stages. The second event where Redl will attempt to continue his winning streak is the New England Regional IDPA Championship on Aug. 17 and 18, and the final event is the Live Free or Die State IDPA Championship on Oct. 19.
