After successfully defending his Modified division title at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals, Daniel Horner of Team SIG is the only competitor in USPSA history to hold the national Modified division title, as well as the first shooter ever to earn a national competition title win using a SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR LT rifle. Notably, in 2022 the SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR was selected by the U.S. Army for the NGSW program.

Team SIG pro shooter Daniel Horner repeated as the Modified division champion at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals, held at the Forest Lakes Sportsman’s Club in Forest Lake, Minnesota, July 19-21.

Last year, Horner, a former member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, was crowned the inaugural Modified champion at the USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals when the newly minted division made its championship debut.

Horner walked away from this year’s USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship with a final time of 534.35 seconds. He defended his Modified division title through eight field courses and four speed shoots using a SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR LT Rifle with a TANGO6T riflescope, P320-DH3 pistol with ROMEO-X optic and SIG Sauer Match Elite competition ammunition. Horner also finished in third place on the overall leaderboard.

In addition, after his victory at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship, Horner is now the first competitor in history to post a national title win while shooting a SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR LT rifle.

“Winning this year felt great, and not just to put another national championship under my belt—it was the result of six months of hard work with the engineers developing the MCX platform from the ultimate battle rifle into the ultimate competition rifle,” Horner said. “I have shot many thousands of rounds through the MCX platforms that have been selected for SOCOM while I’m teaching classes, so I was very familiar with the design and the operation, but tuning it to be able to win at the highest level (including the long-range portion of the Nationals) was something that hadn’t been done before. What happened at Multi-Gun Nationals is the result of a bunch of people at the absolute top of what they do coming together and making great things happen.”

Horner will compete next at the IPSC Rifle World Shoot III at the Ruutikangas Shooting Center in Liminka, Finland, beginning August 4.
