Completing10 days of competition, Miller, who captained the US team in his division, came in ahead of the pack using his trusted M2 3-Gun Performance Shop Edition, while Jeff Cramblit shot his custom-worked Benelli Vinci.
Some 450 shooters from 42 countries participated in the first IPSC World Shotgun Championship, which is now scheduled to occur every three years. The next IPSC World Shotgun Championship will take place in either Thailand or Russia in 2015.
“The match was very technical with a full assortment of shooting positions; floating boat, teeter-totters, sleds, trolley on rails, low ports, swingers, and no-shoots, making this first-ever, world-shoot, a true test of competitors and their gear,” Cramblit described. “With my Benelli Vinci’s fast-pointing characteristics, I was able to shoot across the 30 stages of competition with ease. It was a great match with hundreds of participants, 30 stages, and awards presented just like the Olympics.”
