USA-(Ammoland.com)- The ninth annual Progressive-Position Pistol National Championships has drawn to a close, and the results are in. This was an exciting match with shooters from across the country putting their shooting skills on display. Kyler Swisher and Keli Manegdeg earned top honors overall.

More than 120 youth pistol competitors took to the line at two different regional sites including Fort Benning, Georgia and at USA Shooting headquarters in Colorado Springs. The PPP program, which began in 2008, creates an opportunity for youth to begin at an earlier age. There is no minimum age limit. The youngest competitor this year was seven-year-old Nathan Lim (La Puente, California). PPP is designed to ‘progressively’ develop junior pistol athletes through the three categories as defined by the shooting position used by the competitor. They include basic supported; standing supported and international (one-handed) standing. PPP gives the junior athlete the opportunity to focus on and learn the foundational pistol skills with the opportunity to participate in competitions.
