SIG’s Daniel Horner Wins Fort Benning Multi-Gun Challenge

SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG member Daniel Horner for his impressive performance in his first competition representing Team SIG. Horner claimed “High Overall” and “Tactical Optics Champion” at the 2018 SIG Sauer Fort Benning Multi-Gun Challenge.

“We are thrilled to see Daniel win his first match as a member of Team SIG, and to do it at Fort Benning where he spent his military career as the captain, and member, of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit is very fitting,” said Tom Taylor Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “Given that this was the first time Daniel had used his SIG equipment in competition it really demonstrates his impressive skill, and we look forward to watching his career as a professional shooter and member of Team SIG unfold.”

Daniel Horner: Running SIG Guns

To claim his first match win, Horner competed through 12 stages, against 247 competitors, shooting 547 rounds in 553 seconds. The competition required at least three firearms (pistol, rifle, shotgun) to compete. Targets throughout the stages ranged from 2 to 250 yards. For long-range competition Horner used his M400 Competition rife, Electro-Optics TANGO6 riflescope,  and .223 REM SIG Elite Match Competition Ammunition. A KILO2400ABS Rangefinder complimented the rifle kit. For pistol competition Horner used his P320 XFIVE pistol with iron sights and SIG 9mm Match Elite Competition Ammunition.

“It was very exciting to compete for the first time as a member of Team SIG, and to compete alongside my teammate Lena Miculek was a huge help in stage planning and gear preparation,” added Horner. “In rifle competition the combination of all my SIG equipment really gave me a massive advantage over the competition on any long range or low percentage targets. In pistol competition the handling and accuracy of my P320 XFIVE provided me the edge I needed to win the pistol stage against everyone in the competition including the open pistols that were allowed red dot sights and compensators.”

Horner’s equipment includes the TANGO6 riflescope, KILO2400ABS Rangefinder, .223REM SIG Elite Match Competition Ammunition, and 9MM SIG Match Elite Competition Ammunition.
