Joel Kendrick -- A great past champion

[birdog]

Joel Kendrick of North Carolina won two IBS Shooter of the Year awards and won the first IBS 600 Yard National Chamiponship in 2004. Joel set several AGG world records. He used two rifles, a BAT and a Borden. I own the Borden rifle now. In the article below the rifle I own is the purple stocked rifle. Joel later restocked the rifle with a Terry Lenoard carbon fiber walnut stock. The 50 year old walnut came off Joel's grandad's farm. Serial # of the rifle indicates it was made in 2000 and Joel purchased the rifle in 2002 from Jim Borden who was in Piedmont, N. C. shooting a match.

When I started Long Range BR shooting 2003, I use to sit behind the best shooters of that time and watch their gun handling habits. Joel was one of the main ones especially at 600 yards. I picked up my speed shooting from him. I also saw I needed a Farley rest like his and RB/LP-RE to be even quicker. He is a great shooter and great guy! Samuel Hall
