Team Lapua Shooter Keith Trapp secured first place in the F-T/R National Championship portion of the F-Class National Championship, achieving an impressive aggregate score of 1558-58X. This marks Trapp’s second F-Class National Championship victory, solidifying his reputation as a top competitor. Trapp won his first F-Class Long Range title in 2022, and his first Mid-Range title in 2023.
The Winnequah Gun Club in Lodi, Wisconsin, hosted the NRA F-Class National Championships from August 2nd to 9th, attracting top-tier competitors. This premier event is divided into two main categories: F-Open and F-TR, each with specific equipment and caliber rules. The championship utilizes ShotMarker Electronic Target Systems for real-time scoring at both Mid-Range (600 yards) and Long-Range (1,000 yards).
“I’m incredibly proud of this win,” said Trapp. “The competition was fierce, but my equipment, particularly the Berger bullets, Vihtavuori powder, and Lapua cases, performed flawlessly, giving me the confidence I needed to perform at my best. It’s truly an honor to win this title for a second time.”
Keith Trapp’s confidence was significantly aided by his choice of ammunition. He relied on Berger 200.20X bullets, propelled by Vihtavuori N150 powder, loaded into Lapua .308 Win Palma cases. This winning combination allowed Trapp to achieve his impressive 1558-58X aggregate score.
At the F-Class National Championships, Team USA FTR Vortex, coached by Trapp, achieved a notable 5th place finish. The team included Tracy Hogg, Drew Rutherford, Ian Klemm, and Lapua member Luke Ramsey.
Trapp is set to compete this September on the international stage at the upcoming European F-Class Nationals.
