Mickle and McCampbell each took home a new FN SCAR 16S semi-automatic tactical carbine with a Leupold optics package for their efforts. Lebo and Tom were each awarded FNAR semi-auto rifles with Leupold scopes, while Doeden and Campfield each won FN PS90 semi-auto carbines. Campfield also received an FN pistol for his individual win.

The non-profit event raised some $13,000 for the National Tactical Officers Association, Special Forces Association, and Redwing 19 Special Warfare Family Fund to help support tactical officers and soldiers who have been wounded in action, and to help their families deal with the costs of their medical care and rehabilitation.
