The inaugural International Cartridge Lead Free Championship Match is now in the books. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors, great product displays by the representatives that attended and lots of hard work by our staff, the whole weekend was a success and went off without a hitch. Special thanks go out to the McCalmont Township Fire Department, who had EMS personnel on hand for the entire event, thankfully their expertise was not put to use.

Attendees came from many parts of the country, with two guests from Canada. We had competitors from the FBI and United States Secret Service shooting alongside members of several branches of the Military, with law enforcement officers from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Alabama rounding out the field. All of our Range Officers had either Military or Law Enforcement backgrounds, and their professionalism allowed us to have a smooth and safe running range on both days.

The competitors had to fire at least eight different firearms during the match. We provided all of the firearms and ammunition. Our thoughts were to provide a level playing field and not give an advantage to any one shooter or team, and this approach was well received by the competitors. We gave all competitors equal opportunity to win prizes by random drawing, not based on skill level. Top Gun awards were given to individuals and teams and that was based solely on ability.

The sponsors of the match treated our competitors very well. We would like to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to the following companies (in no specific order). Blackwater USA, Peltor/AOSafety, DPMS Panther Arms, SOG Knives, Militec-1, East Coast Gun Sales, Blue Force Gear, Boyt Harness/Bob Allen, Sightron, Sabre Defence Technology, ParaUSA, Smith & Wesson, OF Mossberg, Otis Firearms Cleaning Systems, Falcon Industries, Shooter’s Choice Products, AmeriGlo Night Sights, Pentax Optics, L3 Communications/Eotech, Ibistek, Blackheart International, Armor Holdings, Coca Cola of Dubois, Valley National Gas, the Kengersky Agency, American COP Magazine, Action Target, and Ferringer’s Flower Shop. Without the support of these fine companies, the match would not have been as successful.

With input from the sponsors, competitors and staff, next years’ event will have more stages and some really different side events. From the initial feedback we have received, the 2008 Lead Free Championship Match will be sold out soon after the official announcement is made.

Match results will be posted on the ICC website, www.iccammo.com in the near future. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an email at contact@iccammo.com and we will answer as soon as possible.
