May 15, 2015

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5), chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, won "Top Gun" honors at this week's Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation annual shoot-out. Thompson outshot the other 35 Members of Congress that participated.

"This annual shoot-out is a great event that brings together folks from both political parties for an afternoon of fun and comradery," said Thompson, a two-time Chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus and Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. "It was an honor to win the ‘Top Gun' award, and I look forward to working with my fellow members of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus to advance conservation, recreation and safety issues that are important to us all."

Members of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC) joined the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) and representatives from the sportsmen's community at Prince George's County Trap and Skeet Center in Glenn Dale, Maryland, for a friendly competition of shooting rounds of trap, skeet and sporting clays.
