As a result of his match performance, Folk moves up to the Master class in ESP. He is classified as an Expert in the Custom Defensive Pistol division and a Master in Stock Service Pistol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Smith &amp; Wesson IDPA Indoor Nationals is one of the toughest matches I compete in all year, but it\u2019s also one of the most rewarding. Smith &amp; Wesson, along with a great staff, make this a great way to kick off a new season of shooting. Hopefully, finishing first Expert bodes well for the rest of my 2015 shooting schedule,\u201d said Folk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to competing in the match, Apex Tactical Specialties supported the championship as a stage sponsor. Folk also worked the match as the on-site gunsmith helping competitors maintain their equipment, and in a handful of cases fixing equipment issues that would have resulted in a match disqualification.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Team Apex, or parts and services from Apex Tactical Specialties, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apextactical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.ApexTactical.com<\/a>, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apextactical\" target=\"_blank\">Apex Tactical on Facebook<\/a> or follow @ApexTactical on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/apextactical\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/apextactical\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.
