LARGENT, W.Va. — Shooters from 17 countries will arrive in the United Kingdom this week to prepare for the second global competition of its kind – the Precision Rifle 22LR World Championship. Among the teams traveling to the UK are top shooters who qualified to represent the United States and the U.S. Precision Rifle Association, including Brian Kendall of Largent.
Kendall, the only West Virginian on the 25-member team, will shoot on the 2025 Rimfire Team – Seniors alongside John Boyken, David Ostrowske and Timothy Nowak.
Ticking off the long list of shooting competitions that let him qualify to represent the USA in the World Championship, Kendall said what started as a personal interest in stretching out his shooting capabilities has turned into a pursuit of the ideal combination of equipment, ammunition and mindset.
“The last two years of my life I’ve been training, traveling and studying to represent the United States,” Kendall said late last month. “This journey took me to 22 states in 2024.”
