Team SIG’s Max Michel Wins Double Tap Championship for Fifth Time
Exeter, NH –-(AmmoLand.com)- Team SIG Champion Shooter, Max Michel, won for a fifth time in the Double Tap Championship held in Wichita Falls, TX, from March 19 through the 21st.
This Sixth Annual competition, hosted by the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC), with nearly 350 contestants, was the second largest IPSC match in 2009 and looks to follow suit again for 2010.
Max has won the Double Tap Championship in 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 as well. Max did not attend in 2009 due to a scheduling conflict with the US Steel National Championship.
“Winning the Double Tap Championship this year after missing the 2009 match is great,” Max Michel commented. “The competition is first-class and this event draws the best in talent, as proven by the large number of competitors this year.”
Max Michel’s next competition is the US Steel National Championship in Titusville, Florida on March 24 – 29, 2010.
