SunBuster’s Piatt Wins Top LE Officer Limited Scope Division at Rocky Mountain 3 Gun TO: ALL OUTDOOR MEDIA FARMINGDALE, NY, August 8, 2010 – The NRA Whittington Center provided the scenic backdrop for the JP Rocky Mountain 3-Gun Championship recently held in Raton, New Mexico. With a field of 170 fellow Law Enforcement officers to compete against, World Champion shooter, Bruce Piatt won the Top Law Enforcement Officer Limited Scope Division for the second time. Some of the nine stages, which were timed out at four minutes, included 20 long range rifle targets and 40 steel and paper targets set out 150 to 600 yards. While the weather was a cool and comfortable 80 degrees, with intermittent thunderstorms, it was the 6,000 foot elevation that challenged competitors breathing and affected the trajectory of the ammunition, as the flight of the bullet does not drop as much at higher elevations. Piatt commented, “As an accuracy shooter, I really enjoy long range rifle shots and at this match, some were out to 600 yards making them very challenging. Overall the match was physically demanding, with many of the stages set amongst the cliffs of New Mexico’s mountainside. Because some of the targets were set up near trees and under the shadows of the tree canopy, wearing my SunBuster clear lenses made the difference in locating the targets more easily, while those that were out in the open, I wore my Crimson Brown lenses because they diminish the intense bright sunlight.” Steve Asman, SunBuster’s president said, “It’s no surprise that Bruce’s success as a multi-disciplined shooter continues to earn him the top slot amongst his peers. He’s a terrific competitor who brings so much to the sport that we’re glad he’s a part of the SunBuster story. Bruce’s competition season continues with the USPSA Multi-gun Nationals and the World NRA Action Pistol match, so it’s not over yet and we wish him well.” SunBuster has designed The Maverick™ and The Dude™, two lightweight frames specifically designed for the shooter. Both models provide a comfortable fit for all-day wearing. Each model includes an interchangeable lens system of five lenses scientifically created to enhance and maximize the shooter’s ability to perform under different lighting and target presentations in competitive shooting.

Commenting on Georgia’s unusual weather Piatt said, “Each day shooters were bundled up due to the cold temperatures in the high 20’s which made it more challenging to manipulate the ammo and work the gun. I was extremely pleased to be back participating and winning the first time shoot off in addition to winning 4th place in the Tactical Optics division, which consisted of 200 shooters. Wearing SunBuster’s Crimson Brown lenses really made a difference in assisting me to pick up and locate the targets easier at stage nine because I was shooting directly into the sun with the last hours of daylight.” Steve Asman, SunBuster’s president said, “Bruce understands the importance of having equipment that will enhance his shooting abilities and maximize his visual acuity with SunBuster’s ShotReader lenses. Bruce’s glasses are fitted with our lightweight prescription insert and depending on the lighting conditions; he can easily change out to any of our customized colored lenses to meet his needs.

Accuracy, speed, dexterity and teamwork played a significant role to have achieved both wins shared with Robert Massey and Jim Clark Jr, two well-respected shooters. After winning both events Bruce commented, "Winning the Three Man and Two Man National Titles for the third year in a row was definitely exciting and personally rewarding. The competition was as tough as always and the Texas weather was just as challenging. The mix between the quickly changing very bright sun and cloudy conditions had me bouncing between my Dude clear lenses and my Orange Plus. Here’s a perfect reason why a serious competitor should have two sets of SunBusters on hand. I’d walk to the line with both glasses ready to go. If the sun was out or clouds rolled in, I’d swap out my glasses in a second or two. At this level of competition, the right choice in equipment plays a big part towards a victory, that’s why I choose SunBuster products.” SunBuster’s president Steve Asman said “Bruce’s hat trick coincides with him being sponsored by SunBuster the last three years.

When Carl’s not competing in title matches as a top contender or representing the industry shooting at venues, he can be found in Pennsylvania, building customized rifles for shooting enthusiasts worldwide. Knowing the importance of having high quality equipment is critical in precision shooting; Carl wears SunBuster Sport Enhancement Eyewear. “When I’m shooting downrange at targets I use the Pink Vermillion lenses because they sharpen the contrast of the bright white targets and when I’m scoring targets, I switch out my lenses to the Crimson Brown to provide my eyes with a rest from the intensity of the sun. This year, I added SunBuster’s prescription patented inserts to my glasses with the bifocal location at the bottom of the lens and the top was set up for arm length to get the focal length for the sight radius.” 
Veteran shooter Carl Bernosky has consistently won the standing matches over the years competing at Camp Perry, attributing his successes to being focused and comfortable shooting there while wearing a big X on his back. Carl commented, “Traditionally the weather at Camp Perry is unpredictable with strong winds coming across Lake Erie and dark skies, but this past week the weather was sunny and bright. I wore my SunBuster Extreme Green Lens, a dark lens which thinks it is a light lens providing me with minimal squint control.”Carl said “I’m looking forward to returning next year to get back on top of the pedestal; I still have the competitive spirit in me after all these years and find shooting very fulfilling.”
