Multi-Gun competitive shooting encourages competitors to push the limits of their skills in a challenging environment. Equipment makes all the difference too—with many passionate 3-Gun and Multi-Gun participants choosing to carry our CA-15 and other Modern Sporting Rifle platforms into the field. Here are a few of the talented men and women who shoot Christensen Arms: 

“I have always set my sights on being the best shooter I can be. Where does that put me compared to the tops guys in the country? I don’t know, but it keeps me motivated trying to improve and get better. 

I’ve been fortunate to have several shooting clubs that have helped me grow and progress as a shooter. Starting out is hard and there is so much to figure out.  Not only the shooting aspect, but gear as well. As I’ve progressed and gotten better, I’ve found it rewarding to be able to help shooters old and new and teach them what I’ve learned. This is a sport about progression and perfection. Always striving to get better and better. Being able to bring new people into the sport and help it grow gives me enjoyment.

I started competing in 3-Gun / Multi -Gun competitions at the beginning of 2013.  I shoot about 5-7 major matches a year. I consistently place in the top 5 and have won my division several times. I was able to win a National title at the United Multi-Gun League National Championships earlier this year.” – Josh Wakamatsu

“I am still technically a rookie and shot my first major match in October 2015. I’m pretty new to the game but have been lucky to surround myself with veteran shooters who are among the best. My life in the 3-Gun game started when I happened onto a 3-Gun match while rodeoing in southern Utah. I was instantly HOOKED! Shortly there after I built my own private range where I try and shoot everyday. 

It’s a huge honor to represent Christensen Arms and shoot their rifles. They have a long legacy in the shooting and hunting world and to be a part of that is something I do not take for granted. Their rifles are outstanding and the people behind them are even better! I’ve gotten to know the Christensen Arms team and watching and learning from them has been priceless. Shooting for Christensen Arms gives me a lot of confidence as their guns function flawlessly, are a work of art, and the accuracy is easily sub-MOA. 

I am currently shooting Open and 2×4 Open divisions in 3-Gun competitions. It is the ‘top fuel” division where almost anything goes as far as equipment and optics. This is where the CA-15 thrives.” – Casey Pratt

“I started my Multi-Gun career two years ago in April 2017 and I was hooked. I was fortunate to go to a local club that has some top-level shooters, and I saw what real speed and accuracy looked like. I loved the camaraderie within the sport and the drive of other competitors to help new shooters succeed. I dove headfirst into learning about the best equipment, my Christensen Arms CA-15 being one of my first rifle purchases specifically for 3-Gun. I loved the unique look of the carbon fiber barrel, and that it was a locally owned company. 

Because of the support from fellow shooters I was able to learn so much, and I wanted to push myself until I found my limit. Throughout the last few years I have met so many awesome people and have been lucky enough to train with the best. This has pushed my abilities farther than I could have alone. This year, I was thrilled to finish First in 2×4 Open at the 2019 Limcat custom UML District 1 Championship, and Second in 2×4 Open for the 2019 Cedar Valley Multi-Gun Championship, and the 2019 Sig Sauer UML Multi-Gun Championship.” – Tim Panic
