Edgar Rueda is the 2024 Lapua Monarch Cup Champion!

Congratulations to Edgar Rueda, winning the 2024 Lapua Monarch Cup and being the 1st Mexican Shooter to capture the “LMC Top Shot” title since its inception in 2022!

With only 3 targets back of Jake Stine after the 1st Stage in Ridgway, Edgar Rueda was well within striking distance. All this with “borrowing” a rifle to shoot the 1st Stage at Ridgway! With his brother Pedro spotting for him, turned in a Dominant 2nd Stage Saltillo Performance of 110/120 and with it, clinched the 2024 LMC Championship!

With Edgar dominating the LMC 2nd Stage at Saltillo, a real battle unfolded at Saltillo for 2nd through 5th Place in the 2024 LMC Overall Championship between Enrique Kuess, Jake Stine, Erich Mietenkorte and Jimena Davila.

Enrique’s 105/120 score at Saltillo, combined with his 102/120 score at Ridgway, gave him a total 2024 LMC Overall Aggregate score of 207/240. This performance tied Enrique with Jake Stine due to Jake’s strong performance in Ridgway. Jake won the shoot off against Enrique, both finishing 2nd and 3rd in the 2024 LMC Overall Championship respectively.
