Colt Congratulates Team Colt Shooter Maggie Reese

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Colt is pleased to congratulate Team Colt shooter Maggie Reese as she achieves the title of 2017 Ladies National Champion in Open Division at the USPSA MultiGun Nationals, April 14-16 in Boulder City, NV. This is Reese's fourth win in this competition, previously having won in 2009, 2010, and 2015.

"Another outstanding performance from Maggie," said Paul Spitale, SVP at Colt. "We are so proud of the excellence that Maggie continues to achieve on the competitive field through her passion and hard work. It's something that all of us here a Colt draw a good deal of inspiration from."

The competition drew over 250 competitors to test their rifle, shotgun, and handgun mastery. There were thirteen stages, and targets exceeded 300 yards. Reese competed in the Open Division, which allows the use of multiple optics and bipods with no limit on magazine capacity.

"This match always offers an excellent challenge," said Reese. "I depended on my Colt LE6920 to really drive home the rifle stages, and as always, it performed flawlessly. It's one less variable I have to worry about at a match."

Come see Maggie Reese at the Colt booth (#2830) at the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA, April 28-30, 2017. There she will be signing posters along with the Team Colt shooters Mark Redl and Wyatt Gibson.
