Matt Burkett wins 5th consecutive MGM Ironman Championship!
On June 7th
Matt Burkett set out to Idaho with one goal in mind, to defend his
title of MGM Ironman. Two days, eleven stages, and over a twelve
hundred rounds later, Matt accomplished his goal. The 2007 championship
is Matt’s 5th MGM title in a row. The MGM is widely regarded as one of
the most physically demanding competitions in the world, firing an
accurate round here is only half the battle. Shooting from the back
moving vehicles, scaling 20-foot towers, shooting while driving, and
moving a 90 pound dummy are just some of the stages that separate this
multigun competition from any other held in the nation.
This
year’s MGM Iron man drew over 125 competitors from all over the world.
Matt was able to dominate the Open class division winning ten out of
eleven stages and also picked up the overall Ironman Title. Matt
attributes his victory to his great sponsor support from companies Magpul Industries Corp (www.magpul.com) and JP Rifles (www.jprifles.com), and his increased training regiment at Predator Ranch,
a 1900-acre tactical training facility located just outside of Dallas,
Texas. Matt has recently moved to Predator Ranch to increase develop
the facility into a premier training location. Matt thoroughly enjoys
competition and looks forward to defending his title in 2008. For more

Special thanks to Mike Gibson Manufacturing and the sponsors, range
officers and crew for putting on another top notch event.
