\u201cThe battle for the SSR division title was a real strong head-to-head match up between two outstanding wheelgunners, coming down to who could outshoot who on one of the match\u2019s most decisive stages,\u201d said Joyce Wilson, executive director of IDPA. \u201cCongratulations to both Gregg and Tom on their outstanding shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n
