Pro-Staff Shooters

Overview

Douglas Barrels’ Pro-Staff Shooters

For over 75 years, Douglas Barrels has been providing marksmen with the trusted accuracy they demand. Douglas Barrels is continuing its long history supporting competition shooters through our new Pro-Staff Shooter Program. As Pro-Staff members, our shooters will be representing Douglas Barrels in regional and national PRS, F-Class and ELR competitions across the country. Each member of the Pro-Staff team will be using a premium quality, custom, ultra-rifled Douglas barrel manufactured to the shooter’s specifications in Douglas Barrels’ Cross lanes, WV facility.

Douglas Barrels is proud to introduce our Pro-Staff Shooters and wish them all the best in the events they will be competing in during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

John Armstrong

John has been shooting and hunting for over 55 years. John started shooting competitively with the Marines in the late 1960s. Over the years, and out of necessity, John took to long range shooting like a duck to water.

John co-set the first ever official Extreme Long Range Shooting world record, has over 60 top 5 finishes with several wins in state and regional level matches, and most recently was crowned Nevada BRPC King of Extreme Long Range Shooting. John has watched his sport change dramatically over the last 25 years with better equipment and technology becoming available almost daily but he believes the steadfast consistency, strict manufacturing processes and pride in craftsmanship inherent to Douglas Barrels is one thing that will never change and will always give him the competitive edge needed to get and stay on the podium.

Justin Lyons

Justin has been competing in NRL22 and PRS22 events for 4 years now. Shooting and traveling to matches with friends has taken him to 15 states. The past season was spent qualifying for team USA. In August the team will travel to Great Britain for the rimfire world championship. His favorite part of the sport is teaching and helping new shooters.

Scott Armstrong

Scott Armstrong has been an avid hunter and shooter his entire life. Scott started his competitive shooting adventure with archery while stationed in Alaska where he won state titles in both indoor and outdoor disciplines. He began actively competing in rifle competitions while on active duty in the United States Air Force as a member of the Air Force High Power Rifle Team. Scott started shooting long range so he could extend his effective range while hunting. Beginning in 2007, he began competing in NRA F-Class, Palma and 1,000 yard rifle events. This immediately led Scott into the early beginnings of Extreme Long Range (ELR) shooting where he spends most of his time now.

Since 2007 he has over thirty top 10 finishes including the following:

Arizona Long Range Challenge Champion, 2021
8 event wins since 2010
17 top 5 ELR Match finishes
Numerous top 3 finishes in the Long Range Precision Silhouette, F-Class, Palma, 1,000 yard and Across the Course events, 2008 to present
