San Antonio, Texas (October 11, 2024) – Team Blaser’s John Barnes and Rachel Barringer delivered world-class performances at the 2024 World Skeet Championships to claim HOA Champion titles. They competed against almost 600 competitors from around the world.
John Barnes won World Skeet Champion HOA (498/500), World Skeet HAA Champion (596/600), and Mini-World Doubles Champion.
“I am ecstatic after a successful week at the World Skeet Championships! The World is one serious grind, and I am thankful for stringing five good days in a row, and then one exceptional day to be fortunate enough to bring home the HOA and HAA World Championships,” said Barnes. “I could not have done it without the reliability, pointability, and ultra-crisp trigger pulls from my Blaser F3. If team Blaser proved anything this week, it is that Blaser is tough to beat.”
Rachel Barringer won World Skeet Ladies HOA Champion (497/500), World Skeet Ladies 12 Gauge Champion, World Skeet Ladies .410 Champion, and placed third in World Skeet Ladies 28 Gauge. She was also Mini-World Ladies HOA Champion (394/400), Mini-World Ladies 28 Gauge Champion, Mini World Doubles Ladies 3rd Place, and Mini-World 20 Gauge Ladies 3rd Place.
“I am honored to join the few in this sport who have earned the opportunity to call themselves a Ladies HOA World Champion,” said Barringer. “I am blessed to represent a company that believes in me and makes incredibly consistent and reliable products, allowing me to focus solely on competing at the highest level every time I step out onto the skeet field.”
Jason Evans, CEO of Blaser Group, commented, “John and Rachel are highly skilled competitors and true champions on and off the field. The sheer level of concentration and laser-like focus they displayed during the tournament is beyond impressive. We congratulate them on their outstanding performances at this year’s World Championships.”
