Team Blaser dominated at the 2025 World Skeet Championships once again with Caile Bradham clinching the HOA World Champion (498/500) and HAA World Champion (598/600) titles. This marks the second year in a row that a Team Blaser shooter won both titles.

The 2025 NSSA Mini-World Skeet Championships were held September 26-28 at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas, followed by the NSSA World Skeet Championships held from September 29 to October 4.

Bradham was also Worlds 12-Gauge runner-up, Worlds Doubles AAA Class Champion and Mini-Worlds .410 Champion.

“I switched to a Blaser F3 Vantage in early 2025, and shortly after I was able to achieve higher scores and more wins all culminating in winning the HOA at the World Skeet Championships,” Bradham said. “Without everybody's support from Blaser USA, none of this would have been possible.”

Team Blaser delivered other impressive performances throughout the events. Rachel Barringer was Wayne Mayes Ladies World Champion, Mini-Worlds Ladies HOA runner-up and Mini-Worlds Ladies Doubles third place.

In addition, Melissa Hinton was Worlds Ladies HOA third place, Worlds Ladies .410 third place, Worlds .410 A Class Champion and Mini-Worlds Ladies 20-Gauge runner-up.

Finally, John Barnes was Mini-Worlds 12-Gauge AAA Class Champion, while Ed Smith was Mini-Worlds Doubles AA Class runner-up.

“We have an incredibly strong team this year and tip our hats to all member of Team Blaser on their outstanding performances,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “Caile Bradham and Ed Smith are our newest members, and their switch to the Blaser F3 shotgun has been fun to watch. They have absolutely crushed it, as have our other talented team members.”
