Whoo dogies. That 2nd and 3rd place team match was close....

Erik who is on your team? Great shooting. Great to hear Danny is up to his normal shooting stature. I wonder how many National Records he holds now? He came up to Memphis a couple of years ago and shot the new Course and it was nice all weekend. He piled up record after record. I had to submit something like 40 National Records to the NRA that weekend. My pen fingers are still twitching. : )
Thank you for the report. Im stuck overseas and am missing out on this match. Sure miss it thats for sure. Tell Mechelle and Nancy Hi for me.

Danny also shot a 199 this afternoon in very deceptive conditions. Some folks counted six full switches in 30 minutes. I watched his string and saw him drop the point. He waited several minutes before firing the next shot and finished with no faults. He is a fine (and patient) shooter.

 

[Erik Cortina]

Danny Biggs shot his 200-15X in extremely easy conditions yesterday, no wind no mirage! So, having said that, today the winds picked up and were switching quickly making top level shooters drop a considerable amount of points! So how did Danny do in such challenging conditions, well, he came to the line and picked his way through the challenging winds and shot ANOTHER 200-15x !!!

So, just in case someone would say that the reason he shot his record is because of the easy conditions, he did it again in very challenging conditions! Awesome shooting by Danny Biggs! Congrats to him!

That needed to be said, twice.

LOL, I didn't realize that happened! But you are right, it was worth saying twice! ;D

Yeah, that was pretty impressive! Also a very nice guy!

 

[Steve Blair]

I missed that one. That is, I believe, a new Palma F-TR record.

Congratulations to John. Excellent shooting.

Was Danny shooting off his modded bipod? Always nice to see a record fall, even when viewed from the other side of the world its good to see the competition delivering deserving winners!

[Erik Cortina]

No bipod, he used a SEB Gen I rest.

 

[280man]

Danny also has a SEB front rest. I know he used it at SOA for the 1000 yard portion. I wasn't at Phoenix but if I'm guessing he was using the SEB either way that was some outstanding shooting

 

[TonyR]

He was shooting of a rest, not the bipod.

I believe Danny shot the Thursday team match from the bipod and the individuals from a Seb rest. It seems to matter less to Danny than it would to me. He shoots well regardless.
