Team Vihtavuori shooter Francis Colon secured a second-place victory at the Federal Gold Medal Match, hosted by Alabama Precision. The prestigious Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Pro Series Qualifier was a fast-paced, two-day event structured to test all facets of a shooter’s ability within Alabama’s unique and challenging natural terrain.

Colon delivered a standout performance, finishing second in the Open/Suppressor division with a score of 178. Skillfully engaging targets at distances ranging from 100 to 1200 yards, Colon demonstrated the elite precision that has placed him 9th overall in the current PRS national rankings.

“The pressure was on all weekend, with my own battle for second place coming down to the last target on the final stage,” said Colon. “In moments like that, you must trust your equipment completely, which is why I rely on Vihtavuori N150 powder. Its consistency and reliability, round after round, provides the confidence needed to stay in the center when it counts.”
