Having that level of confidence in my ammunition allows me to stay focused on execution when it matters most."
"Doug's continued dominance at the Bianchi Cup is extraordinary and speaks to his professionalism, dedication, and commitment to excellence," said Adam Braverman, Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Vihtavuori.
