In the long, storied 3-gun career of Daniel Horner, you don’t see a lot of firsts these days. But Horner made history again with an unprecendted win at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals. Not only did he defend his own title in the Modified Division, but he did it running SIG’s latest battle rifle.
Horner Wins USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals With MCX-SPEAR LT Rifle
Horner became the first competitor to win a major match running the SIG MCX-SPEAR LT. Topped with a TANGO6T riflescope, along with a SIG P320-DH3 and ROMEO-X optic and SIG Match Elite ammo, Horner ran the SPEAR-LT to maintain his stranglehold as the sport’s best 3-gunner.
“At the beginning of 2024, Daniel set his sights on the IPSC World Shoot this August. He could have easily taken his M400-DH3, that he’s won multiple championships with, given it a tune-up and started training – that was the easy button,” began Robby Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer, SIG SAUER, Inc. “However, Daniel’s plan was to use this opportunity to demonstrate to the world, on the biggest stage, the versatility of the MCX-SPEAR product line. On his quest, Daniel has activated so many elements of SIG SAUER with the one constant being his persistence to prove the capability beyond the battlefield.”
Running & Gunning with the MCX-SPEAR LT
At the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship, Horner defended his title through eight field courses and four speed shoots. Held at Forest Lakes Sportsman’s Club in Minnesota, the match served as a primer for Horner. he heads to Finland for the IPSC World Shoot in August.
“Winning this year felt great, and not just to put another national championship under my belt- it was the result of six months of hard work with the engineers developing the MCX platform from the ultimate battle rifle into the ultimate competition rifle. I have shot many thousands of rounds through the MCX platforms that have been selected for SOCOM while I’m teaching classes, so I was very familiar with the design and the operation but tuning it to be able to win at the highest level (including the long-range portion of the nationals) was something that hadn’t been done before. What happened at Multi-Gun Nationals is the result of a bunch of people at the absolute top of what they do coming together and making great things happen,” commented Daniel Horner, Team SIG professional shooter.
SIG developed the MCX-SPEAR LT exclusively for a special operations program. Adopted and fielded throughout the world, the U.S. Army selected the MCX-SPEAR for the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program.
