Lapua’s Chris Simmons Victorious in the Cavern Cove Shootout for the 4th Consecutive Year

Sedalia, MO – Team Lapua’s Chris Simmons once again demonstrated exceptional skill and precision, securing the title at the Cavern Cove Shootout for the fourth consecutive year. Chris cut through 20-25 mph winds throughout the event and emerged victorious, proving the remarkable consistency of both his marksmanship and equipment.

"I’d like to thank Mr. Big Guns and Leupold Optics for their continued support, as well as Lapua for providing the ammunition that made this win possible," added Chris. “This is truly a team effort, and I’m excited to continue pushing the boundaries of precision shooting."

Located in Marshall County Alabama, the Cavern Cove Shootout is known for its tough competition and difficult shooting conditions. Shooters faced an additional challenge this year with unrelenting winds that tested even the most experienced of the group. As a result, Chris’s choice of ammunition Lapua Midas + proved to be a decisive factor in maintaining accuracy and delivering consistent performance. The Cavern Cove Shootout attracts top shooters from around the region and is celebrated for its diverse and challenging range of targets that stretch the physical and mental agility of each competitor. With this victory, Chris solidifies his reputation as one of the premier marksmen in the sport.

"I couldn’t be more thrilled to win again, especially in such tough conditions," said Chris Simmons. "The strong winds pushed my mental game, but Lapua Midas + ammunition held steady and helped me stay on some small targets. It's a true testament to the quality of the gear and the training that goes into every shot."

Simmons’ Midas + .22LR ammunition was matched to his rifle at Lapua’s Rimfire Performance Center.
