PIRU, Calif. \u2013 Smith & Wesson\u2019s B.J. Norris outgunned two-time World Speed Shooting Champion Rob Leatham of Springfield Armory to win the Production division title at the 2010 Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships this past weekend in Piru, California.<\/p>\n

Norris, who used a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series 9mm pistol, dominated the field by winning six of the eight stages on his way to a final time of 93.56 seconds. Norris\u2019 time, which was 6.82 seconds faster than Leatham, also placed him 14th overall in the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty happy with how I shot.\u00a0 I only had to eat a couple slow runs here and there, but overall it was a very solid performance the match and my time of 93.56 is usually good enough to win the Limited division,\u201d said B.J Norris.<\/p>\n

Fourth place went to Bradley Holt who shot a time of 115.98 while fifth place, and the Women\u2019s Production title, went to the captain of the Smith & Wesson shooting team Julie Golob with 121.20.<\/p>\n
