Team Federal shooter Grant Kunkel’s stellar performance last weekend at the Area 5 Steel Challenge Championship earned him an astonishing six First Place trophies. The match, held at the Riley Conservation Club in Terre Haute, Indiana on June 11-13, drew 364 shooters who competed in six divisions. Kunkel won first place in all six, while also earning the Rifle Master and Rimfire Master titles.
“Grant continues to dominate the Steel Challenge world and is a great team member for Federal and its sister company CCI Ammunition,” said Shooting Sports Promotions Manager Jason Spradling. “His performance at the Area 5 Steel Challenge Championship shows what hard work, talent, and good ammunition can do. We’re obviously proud of Grant’s accomplishments and happy to have him representing our brands.”
Kunkel’s wins in the Area 5 Steel Championship include First Place in Rimfire Rifle Optic (RFRO), Rimfire Rifle Iron (RFRI), Rimfire Pistol Optic (RFPO), Rimfire Pistol Iron (RFPI), Open, and Pistol Caliber Carbine Optic (PCCO) divisions. The Rifle Master award is for the fastest Rimfire Rifle and PCC combined time, and the Rimfire Master award is for the fastest combined time in RFPO, RFPI, RFRO, and RFRI combined.
“For the handgun Open Division, I was shooting Syntech Action Pistol, because it’s extremely soft recoil, accuracy, and absolute reliability allow me to concentrate fully while making quick shots and staying on target,” Kunkel said. “I relied on CCI Mini-Mag ammo for the rimfire events.”
Syntech Action Pistol is the official ammunition of the USPSA and is specifically designed for the action shooting sports. It’s loaded to power factor requirements with heavy, flatter-nosed bullets for more reliable knock-downs on steel targets in competition. Syntech Action Pistol provides the softest-shooting and most reliable performance possible for high-volume shooters.
