Jessie Harrison Wins Steel Challenge 2025

In her first match back as a member of Team Taurus, Jessie Harrison claimed her 18th Ladies title at the World Speed Shooting Championships. Jessie, the winningest shooter in Steel Challenge history, continues to cement her legacy as one of the all-time greats, shooting a time 96.53 using her Taurus 1911 racegun.

But this wasn’t just Jessie’s first match back as a member of Team Taurus, it was also her first match as a new mother. Jessie took on Steel Challenge just three months after giving birth, and delivered a dominant performance in her usual style.

"I'm thrilled to bring home yet another Ladies Open World Championship title to Taurus, marking my 18th victory in this category! This match was particularly special as it was my first since becoming a mother, presenting a completely new set of challenges. However, by returning to the basics and relying on years of training, along with my trusted 1911 that has accompanied me through numerous championships, I overcame those hurdles and achieved another victory,” said Jessie after the match.

Jessie Harrison’s triumphant return to Taurus USA and Steel Challenge marks the continuation of a legacy of excellence with Taurus, where she has accumulated countless National and World titles. For more, visit taurususa.com.
