World Shooting Championship on Shooting USA TV Today
Tune in to the TV tonight (7/31/19) — there’s some impressive multi-gun action on the Outdoor Channel. Shooting USA features the NRA’s World Shooting Championship (WSC), held at the Peacemaker National Training Center in West Virginia. This unique, multi-discipline Pro-Am Competition draws 300 shooters, with all firearms provided by manufacturers. Designed to find the “best at everything that goes bang”, the WSC combines scores from a dozen disciplines to select the best all-around shooting champion. What’s at stake? Glory plus over $250,000 in cash and prizes!
Shooting USA airs Wednesday, 7/31/19 at: 9:00 PM Eastern and Pacific; 8:00 PM Central
WSC Highlight Video with Competitor Interviews:
To succeed at the WSC, competitors must be skilled with all types of firearms, bolt-action rifles, semi-auto rifles, shotguns, semi-auto pistols, and even single action six-guns. For every stage, the firearms are provided by match sponsors, so no competitor gains an advantage by using his or her own guns.
The challenges range from sporting clays, to PRS-style rifle stages, to Bianchi plate racks shot with handguns, and even a simulated Olympic Biathlon competition. That requires that competitors be fit and have a diverse skill set — you need to be outstanding with every type of firearm.
This episode also feature a history segment, a gun-building segment, and a Pro Tip from Maggie Reese. Shooting USA showcases the Crockett rifles from Tennessee that armed Andrew Jackson’s Militia on his way to stop the British in New Orleans. Then, John Scoutten finishes a JP Enterprises AR accuracy build. Lastly Maggie Reese shows how to start a pistol stage from a table with an empty gun.
Maggie Reese now shoots for Team Ruger along with Doug Koenig.
Maggie notes: “We spend a lot of time in competition working a draw from a holster position, but sometimes when you go to competition you will have to do an unloaded or loaded table start. So I want to take you through some techniques on how to maximize that first shot and get an efficient time.”

Wow we can really watch the “World Plinking Championships” which are held at the range which is personally owned by Cole Mcculloch who also amazingly happens to the Director of NRA competitions. Apparently the as part of the “Swamp” known as the greater DC area the concept of “Conflict of Interest” means little to Cole and the NRA Board of Directors. Perhaps they ought to explain to the membership how their own staff can hold events which personally benefit their bank accounts. Sounds like Cole ought to be running for the Congress or Senate.
Would love to ask “Wayne” how the NRA supports this level of garbage all the while the actual competitive shooting division is understaffed and diminished.
PLEASE STOP calling this the world shooting championships. IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! I shot in the REAL world shooting championship in Barcelona Spain in 1998. This is a snowflake masquerade!!!!!! No disrespect to the “PRO’S” in their respective disciplines, but this is just an overhyped and funded fun shoot.
