Fiocchi of America proudly congratulates Pro Staff member Lanny Barnes on an outstanding performance at the 2026 Rocky Mountain 3-Gun Championship in Raton, New Mexico. Barnes captured 1st Place Lady in the Open division while finishing an impressive 6th overall among the Open field.
Held August 7–9 at the NRA Whittington Center, the Rocky Mountain 3-Gun Championship is one of the country's premier natural-terrain multigun competitions. The three-day championship challenged competitors across nine stages incorporating rifle, pistol, and shotgun, with courses designed to test accuracy, speed, movement, firearm transitions, and stage strategy throughout the rugged terrain of the Whittington Center.
Barnes delivered a strong performance throughout the championship, earning the top Lady position in Open while placing sixth overall in the division. Her finish put her among the top competitors in a field that attracts experienced 3-Gun and action-shooting athletes from across the country.
The victory adds another championship result to Barnes' accomplished career. Before becoming one of the country's leading multigun competitors, Barnes represented the United States in biathlon at three Olympic Winter Games in 2006, 2010 and 2014. She has since established herself across multiple competitive shooting disciplines, including 3-Gun, PCC, IPSC Shotgun and IPSC Rifle, earning national and international accolades along the way.
"Lanny continues to demonstrate why she is one of the most versatile competitors in the shooting sports," said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing for Fiocchi of America. "Winning the Lady title while finishing sixth overall in Open at a match as demanding as Rocky Mountain 3-Gun is an incredible accomplishment. Her ability to perform across multiple firearms, challenging terrain, and complex stages speaks to the preparation, skill, and determination she brings to every competition. We are incredibly proud to have Lanny representing Fiocchi."
Barnes' performance builds on a long history of success as a member of the Fiocchi Pro Team.
