Sedro-Woolley, WA — Team Smith & Wesson member David Olhasso of Holland, Pennsylvania, shot his way to another Limited-10 Division victory at the United States Practical Shooting Association’s (USPSA) 8th Annual Summer Blast.

Olhasso, shooting a Smith & Wesson M&P45 pistol, dominated the Limited-10 field by winning the first three and the last three of the ten stages. Once he grabbed the mantle of frontrunner, Olhasso never let go and walked off with a 121 point lead and the title.
Local shooter Howard Thompson of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, managed to steal two stage wins on his way to second place with a score of 1103.5097. Steve Rubalcaba of Websterville, Vermont, finished third with 1031.8793.
