“We offer our congratulations to not only the winners, but to everyone who competed in the NRA World Shooting Championship this year,” Jens Krogh, vice president of marketing and product development for Walther Arms, Inc., said. “To witness such talent, determination and marksmanship from each participant at each stage of the competition was impressive, especially given the elements everyone had to deal with. We know from experience that Walther firearms can withstand whatever Mother Nature wants to throw their way, as can everyone who was shooting, working and helping make the competition a success.”
