PROOF Research® sponsored shooters Austin Orgain and Rusty Ulmer were part of Team USA at the first International Precision Rifle Federation World Championships held August 6-12, 2022 in Bitche, France. Four days of competition of the best long-range shooters from 26 countries on four continents were held at the CSA Bitche extreme long-range shooting facility in northern France. The International Precision Rifle Competition was held in association with the host, the French Precision Rifle Association (FRPRA) and Ultimate Ballistics.

The competition included twenty stages with 93 goals in six divisions. More than 249 of the world’s best long-distance shooters and 300 participants gathered for four days of tough competition. Among Team USA, PROOF Research sponsored shooter and two-time PRS Pro Series Golden Bullet award winner Austin Orgain fired his custom rifle featuring the PROOF Research competition contoured steel barrel chambered in 6 Dasher .
