John Vlieger - Mark 7 Shooting Team
John Vlieger -
Mark 7 Reloading Shooting Team
Background
I was introduced to competitive shooting at age 15 and leaned into it hard 10 years later while serving in the US Army on active duty. I found the range to be a place where focus, discipline, and clarity were paramount and I fell in love. The camaraderie and shared challenge give me a sense of community and progress all while traveling across the country and world. I've competed in over 150 major events in the last decade and love the experience for all it has.
What You Reload On and Why?
I load on a Mark 7 Reloading "Revolution" automated press, the tip top of automated equipment. I load 20,000-30,000 rounds a year on my machine to keep me tuned up and ready for national level competitions. WIth the 2025 Handgun World Shoot on the horizon I trust my Revolution to produce quality, consistent, and reliable ammunition for my training and match needs. I'm able to essentially "press a button" and generate the ammunition I need to chase my dreams.
