HIVIZ Shooting Systems, the premier manufacturer of high-quality tritium/fiber-optic and fiber-optic sights for shotguns, handguns and rifles, proudly congratulates pro staff shooters Lanny Barnes and Teri (Tes) Salb on their outstanding performances at the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship, held Sept. 30-Oct. 4 at Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, IN. Their results underscore the dedication, skill and competitive spirit that define Team HIVIZ. The NRA World Shooting Championship is recognized as one of the most rigorous tests of shooting skills, consisting of 12 challenging stages that cover multiple disciplines including pistol, rifle, shotgun, and combined firearm events. In a bid to level the playing field, all firearms, ammunition, optics, and equipment were supplied by the NRA and match sponsors, emphasizing pure marksmanship, adaptability, and consistency across diverse stages. Among a field of 166 elite competitors, Lanny Barnes stood out by earning a top 10 finish in the IDPA category, in addition to claiming the High Woman title for the second consecutive year. Her impressive overall position of 12th confirms her place as a well-rounded shooting athlete. Barnes, a three-time Olympian, demonstrates her mastery in various shooting disciplines, proving herself as a formidable competitor. This match is incredibly challenging because you have to shoot 12 different disciplines from precision to run-and-gun to sporting clays and everything in between, said Barnes. You also have to use rifles, pistols and shotguns all with match-provided equipment that might be completely unfamiliar. The goal is to find the best all-around shooter, someone who can shoot any discipline, pick up any firearm and just run with it. I was thrilled to defend my title and take home the High Lady World Shooting Championship title. HIVIZ had great representation at the match, not only on some of the sights used but with some great competitors like my teammate Tes Salb who finished third. Teri Salb also delivered exceptional results at the championship. Salb highlighted her skills with a fifth-place finish in the Precision Air Pistol division and third in the Ladies category, reinforcing her reputation as a versatile and determined multi-gun athlete. This match is exhilarating and humbling for everyone, commented Salb. Because of the format, you can excel at something youve never shot before and struggle with something you know well. It really comes down to skill and adaptability under pressure. Most stages allow only one shot per target so consistency matters. I think this match fosters more knowledge sharing among competitors than any other, as we all navigate each discipline and firearm. Thats what makes it so rewarding. Ive attended this event since its inception in 2014, and Im honored to represent HIVIZ this year. The match results reflected the competitive nature of the participants, with the following highlights: Pro/Overall: 1: Nils Jonasson, 2: Johnathon Solinsky, 3: Gregory Jordan; Ladies: 1: Lanny Barnes (Repeat Champion), 2: Tristin Burris, 3: Teri (Tes) Salb; Junior: 1: Cole Shanholtz (Pro), 2: Jesse Grant, 3: Jackson Schmidt. HIVIZ applauds both Barnes and Salb for their professionalism and competitive excellence, seeing their achievements as reflective of the companys core values of precision, preparation, and perseverance, as well as its mission to advance the art of shooting. The company also extended congratulations to all competitors, event organizers, the NRA Competitive Shooting Division, match staff, and sponsors for delivering a world-class event on US soil that tests a wide array of shooting skills. The NRA World Shooting Championship represents the pinnacle of all-around marksmanship, and its an honor to witness competitors like Lanny and Tes excel on this stage, said Phil Howe, HIVIZ Founder and President. Their performances exemplify the dedication, discipline, and sportsmanship that define the shooting sports. Were proud to support athletes who push the boundaries of excellence and inspire the next generation of shooters. At HIVIZ, we believe top-tier marksmen and markswomen deserve top-tier equipment. Our advanced tritium/fiber-optic sight systems are engineered to give shooters every ounce of confidence at the moment of truth. We are honored to support athletes who push the envelope in competitive shooting.
