Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) – In Rapid City, South Dakota, Team Ruger's Randi Rogers and Gordon Carrell competed at the 2026 NRA Faces of Freedom ARC Regional Championship with their reliable, rugged Ruger Harrier™ rifles.
Throughout the championship, Randi Rogers demonstrated outstanding precision and consistency, finishing second in the open division with a final score of 525.30. Gordon Carrell also showcased remarkable skill and determination, securing an impressive match win.
"It had been more than 10 years since I last competed in a rifle shooting event, but the NRA America's Rifle Challenge Regional reminded me just how much I enjoy the sport and has reignited my passion for rifle competition," stated Randi Rogers. "The event featured two distinct components: the Level 1 Skills Challenge and the Level 2 Action Stages, each presenting a unique set of demands. From engaging paper targets at just 10 yards to ringing steel at more than 300 yards, the match tested a wide range of skills. Throughout it all, my rifle performed flawlessly, giving me complete confidence on every stage."
The Ruger Harrier rifle combines rugged construction, modern ergonomics and proven AR-pattern functionality. Its free-floating barrel system, mid-length gas operation and precision-oriented design contribute to the accuracy and reliability that Rogers and Carrell trust during competitive shooting sports.
"We're incredibly proud of Randi and Gordon for their achievements at the Faces of Freedom NRA ARC Regional Championship," said Abbey Clary, Director of Media, Advertising, and Public Relations. "Their results reflect not only their talent and hard work but also the passion and commitment they bring to the shooting sports. We look forward to cheering them on as they continue their success throughout the season."
