Big Bart Sauter Story -- 6 BRA Tack Driver Winner

[Downhill]

I have been a competitive shooter for 30 years, Bart's video proves that you are never too old to learn something new( or in my case, something I've been doing a little wrong!).

The Only problem I seen with this video BART if you going get on TV need to dye that beard An that mustache LOL.

Priceless video Bart! As a new Benchrest shooter I need all the help I can get and you sharing your knowledge in such detail helped me a lot.

 

[whatwind?]

Yes, very good and interesting video. Does anyone know where to find a level like the one Bart was using to check his front rest?

Was it sold out before you mentioned it? Maybe you and Bart get a commission.

Great piece! Thanks to Bart for sharing. MANY should take note. Bart had a question on the PPC vs BRA and drift. He TESTED it HIMSELF. I like the way Bart thinks and is not afraid to do the work. Hope to meet him some day.

Hope to meet him some day.

I'm planning on Tack Driver 4. Gas is on me Jeff.

I got quite a bit out of that video. Much appreciated.

How many of you noticed in Bart’s equipment list that he is shooting a 6BRA no neck turn 272 neck?

That is a interesting tid bit of info.

There's about a 3 minute separate video about the rifle.
I could'nt get it to link here. Bart mentions his Lederer
barrel along with all the other goodies.

Excellent video and article! One question I have about rifle setup in the bags, pressure against forward stop? Just touching, hard hold, pull back just a little?

He's not controlling or aiming the rifle with his shoulder.

The stop has a rubber cover to allow the rifle to be pushed against it. That's it.
The front rest is for aiming and the rear bag just allows the rifle to slide straight back and forth.
His shoulder pressure appears to be just barely touching to prevent the stock from accelerating rearward, and minimizing movement. Maybe 1/4"or so, which is plenty to allow the bullet to leave the barrel.

I was shooting free recoil so once I pushed the gun to the stop with my shoulder that’s it. Then I back off the butt of the rifle with my shoulder about 1/4 inch.

Question:
From what I understand the idea of this shoot was to get multiple shooting disciplines (including F Class) together to see who’s the king at 300 meters but as far as I’ve seen from several photos it appears all the guns were benchrest rigs. Were there any non-bench guns at the shoot?

The competition was shot from benches. F Class rifles were legal, But were shot from the bench instead of the ground.

Pretty sure the F class guys would of gotten tired of getting stepped on and kicked. Also trying to shoot from the ground up through all those flag poles would be a bitch.

I think was gone already and I didn’t realize it

Looked like you had a little cheek on the comb??

Bart, what's your trigger pull weight? Shooting free recoil, any comment on repeatable technique finger-on-trigger? First thing comes to my mind: No apparent sideways motion of reticle when the trigger breaks. Should one dry fire practice to master that?

Fantastic video! Kudos.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Bart. This should help my setup.

The overwhelming majority of Benchrest Rifles use a trigger with 2 ounces or less of let off.

Nah, they'll clear a path pretty quick.
