Team Lapua’s Erich Mietenkorte Wins 2025 Hunting Rifle Championship at Lapua Super Shoot
A huge congratulations to Erich Mietenkorte of Team Lapua for taking top honors in the Hunting Rifle Championship at the 2025 Lapua Super Shoot, held at the iconic Ridgway Rifle Club over Memorial Day Weekend.
In one of the most grueling smallbore rimfire silhouette competitions of the year, competitors faced six 40-shot matches on Saturday and four more on Sunday, firing a total of 400 rounds for record. Despite cold, rainy, and windy conditions throughout the weekend, the competition pressed on, and every impact on steel was hard-earned.
“None of this would have been possible without the exceptional performance of my Lapua Midas+ rimfire ammunition. Its precision and reliability were crucial for navigating both the challenging weather and the demanding match format. Knowing my rifle and ammunition were tested and matched at the Lapua Rimfire Performance Center in Mesa gave me complete confidence that my setup would deliver, even in the toughest conditions”, said Mietenkorte.
In addition to his Hunting Rifle Championship win, Mietenkorte also secured 2nd place in the Standard Rifle Category with a score of 168 out of 200, underscoring his consistency and elite marksmanship across both disciplines.
Hats off to Erich Mietenkorte on this outstanding performance and to the Ridgway Rifle Club for once again delivering a top-notch championship experience.
