Amazing shooting at Phoenix

[BoydAllen]

I think that we all can see a lot to admire here. Evidently conditions were very good at Phoenix and some shooters were in top form.
Lester may have shot a couple of new NBRSA records For sure on one, and very good chance on the other). FYI the IBS records for five shot HB (unlimited) small group and agg. are .045 and .1271 respectively. The NBRSA records, which is the sanctioning organization for this match, are .049 and .1242. For those who are interested, both current group records are held by Gary Ocock.

That's an amazing agg by Lester !! Good to see Walt Berger is still competing. Those small groups for each match are just insane!

Hey Boyd,

Were any of those guys shooting a bag gun?

 

[6BRAckley]

There were 3 or 4 bag guns if I am remembering correctly

 

[Lone Hunter]

Pardon my ignorance but what is a bag gun? I can barely put one shot on the paper let alone 5. Very nice shooting..

Did Walt suffer an equipment failure in match 5? Went from shooting groups in the .3's to 3".

Yes. He got a bullet stuck in his barrel

Look close The class marked on the targets is "unl" or "unlimited" which means primarily railguns. "Bag guns" are regular rifles fired off sandbags.

This is also a new classification where they only shoot 5rds instead of the usual 10rds per target.

I wouldn't call it new. Especially since the 5, 5 shot group 300 yard record agg dates back to 1983

Amazing! I bet it was because he got to sleep in his own bed every night.
