Jake Stine Secures a Second Consecutive Title at the 2025 Lapua Monarch Cup Finale

The 2025 Lapua Monarch Cup culminated in a historic moment for Team SK’s Jake Stine, who cemented his legacy by becoming the first-ever two-time Monarch Cup Champion. The prestigious two-match series, which crowns the top smallbore silhouette rifle shooter in North America, saw its finale at the world-renowned NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico, from July 20-22, 2025.

Stine’s consistent excellence across both the Canadian and US championships set him apart as North America’s premier smallbore silhouette rifle shooter. In a display of remarkable skill and unwavering focus, Stine achieved a commanding total score of 208 over both legs of the competition. This impressive performance edged out strong contenders, including Team Lapua’s Cathy Winstead-Severin (205) and Team Lapua’s Erich Mietenkorte (203), showcasing Stine’s ability to perform under pressure and maintain a leading edge against the sport’s elite.

“Without SK ammunitions continued support I would not have been able to accomplish this historic feat,” said Stine. “The high-quality ammunition and friendly staff are what make this ammunition the best.” While the USA portion of the Lapua Monarch Cup, held in Raton, featured a thrilling three-way shoot-off where Mexico’s Jimena Davila emerged victorious, the ultimate highlight remained Stine’s unprecedented achievement. Stine’s repeat victory not only underscores his dominance in the smallbore silhouette discipline but also solidifies his position as a true icon of the sport.
