Held over the week of 27th August – 2nd September 2023 in Várpalota-Veszprém, Hungary the five man U.S. team won at mid range (300, 500, and 600 yards), and absolutely dominated at long range (900 and 1,000 yards).

Lee Shaver, gunsmith extraordinaire and publisher of
The Single Shot Exchange captained the team (he also built all of their rifles). My old friend and match nemesis (he only beat me once in 20 years of shooting against one another) Dave Gullo, proprietor of
Buffalo Arms in Sand Point ID joined him, along with Chip Mate out of Phoenix along with his wife Debbie serving as everyone's "Girl Friday" (taking care of all of those little things so the shooters can shoot), Steve Farringer from Indiana, and finally Tony Martello from Wisconsin. Chrystal Bentlage-Gerbitz (who answers the phone in Lee's shop) served as Team Adjutant.
This team won both the mid and long range championships and with them the Grand Aggregate. They dominated at long range (900 and 1,000 yards), building a 62 point lead over second place, and winning the Grand Aggregate by 81 points.
Congrats on a job well done!
