SIGHTRON, one of the world's most innovative optical observation and aiming device companies, is proud to announce that Ambassador Jayson Barnes took 1st place in the Pellet class Sunday and 2nd place overall at the N50 Pellet Overall National Champions, held August 21st – 23rd, 2026 at the NRA Whittington Center's Coors Range in Raton, New Mexico.
Barnes used SIGHTRON's S6 10-60X56 ED FT Snap Focus Riflescope to not only take 1st place in the Pellet class Sunday, he set a new record of 749 out of a possible 750. Barnes' incredible weekend ended with him taking 2nd place overall in the championship.
"While other shooters were complaining about mirage, my SIGHTRON riflescope delivered exactly what matters most," said Jayson Barnes, SIGHTRON Ambassador. "I had zero scope shift during ranging and point of impact held true, from start to finish. This riflescope had only been mounted 3 weeks prior to the competition."
The 2026 N50 National Championship showcased top-level precision shooting in the innovative N50 Benchrest League format, where competitors engage in 50-yard rifle shooting using both air rifles and rimfire platforms. Shooters across multiple classes, including Pellet, Sportsman, and Pro, took aim at standardized N50 targets, emphasizing accuracy, consistency, and range discipline. Designed for precision enthusiasts, this event highlights tactical skill, sportsmanship, and the growth of air rifle benchrest competition nationwide. Located near beautiful Raton, New Mexico, the NRA Whittington Center is home to the nation's premier hunting, shooting, and outdoor recreation facility.
The S6 10-60x56 ED FT SNAP FOCUS sets a new optical standard for Airgun and .22 competition shooting. The design employs two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for an unprecedented shooting experience that provides a 55% improvement in optical resolution over the award-winning and industry standard SIII 10-50x60 FT models. Now, you can see those shots on target like never before. SIGHTRON's redesigned parallax cam system, Snap Focus, has 270º of total rotation with full correction from 9 yards to infinity. It is optimized for precise Field Target parallax adjustments with 91º of parallax correction in the critical 40–60 yard target range. Additional space is added in the rotation to compensate for Diopter Correction and Environmental Changes (DCEC) which significantly effects target ranging accuracy.
