“The match was very challenging,” Lentz said. “The stages were a mix of targets positioned at different distances, with some targets moving and some static. Through every stage, my Performance Center Model 929 revolver ran flawlessly. This is one of the ‘must-attend’ United States Practical Shooting Association matches of the year, and I am extremely proud to have represented Smith & Wesson. 

The event was hosted by the Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida. Over 400 shooters competed in the event.
