“We are all very excited for Mark and another outstanding win,” said Joyce Rubino, Vice President of Marketing for Colt’s Manufacturing Company, said in a press release. “It is wonderful to see him continue to put in the hard work and get closer to achieving his goal of repeating his King of New England CDP Division title. Colt’s Manufacturing Company is also proud to have been a sponsor of this popular IDPA match.”
According to the press release, the King of New England series pulls scores from four stages, plus one alternate stage, at three of New England’s IDPA competitions. The four stages from the New England Regional Championship that count towards the King of New England rankings are stages one, three, six and seven, with stage 10 as the alternate. Redl finished first in his division in three out of the four stages.
“This match was an extremely technical one, with very tight shots,” said Redl. “I relied on a Colt Combat Elite factory gun to navigate through each stage with precision and match-grade accuracy. I am ecstatic about the win and look forward to the final match in the King of New England series in October.”
The New England Regional Championship is the second match of the three-leg concurrent King of New England series. It took place August 16 and 17 at the Harvard Sportsmen’s Club in Harvard, Mass. The first leg was the Massachusetts State Championship in June, and the third and final leg is the New Hampshire Live Free or Die Blockbuster State Championship in October.
