Special THANKS TO Ray Bowman PR&T

Gold $$ Contributor
Just want to give a public thanks to Ray Bowman owner of Precision Rifle and Tool. Ray has built my rifles for the last three years and it has been no easy task for him. Good enough is not in his vocabulary. Ray has had to endure my constant calls and txt. Ray I need this and he gives me a OK come on in. Rays rifle have helped me move from just showing up to matches to coming to win.

This year I was able to squeeze out a 5th in the US Nationals and 5th in the Worlds. The crowning jewel was being named a shooting member of the US FTR 8 Man Team. We worked together and Won the World Championship. Rays rifles made up 2 of the eight rifles for that team.

So in closing THANK YOU RAY BOWMAN and Precision Rifle and Tool.

Congrats on the fine shooting Jim, you are definately steering those rifles straight. I'm very pleased with the rifle Ray built for me also, they do very good work....... ;) :)
 
I remember shooting Ray's personal F/TR rifle during the 2012 Berger SW Nationals team match when the barrel on mine came apart and thinking to myself how well it handled and shot.

I think both you and Ray are quite good at what you do and make for a great team... Congratulations to you both on the results of that teamwork this year!
 
Congratulations Jim!

Awesome accomplishments! Care to give any details on your rifle and load you shot at Raton?

James...I'll second that. Beyond building a great rifle, Ray took me to my first matches at Butner and a couple of other places and got me started. He is not only a great gunsmith and very knowledgable shooter, but also a good friend.

Ahhh, that stretching noise I hear down the road must be Ray's head :D Seriously, we've been friends for over 30 years and Ray does a great job of gunsmithing a rifle. All the best to him and his shooters. He's worked hard to earn it!
 
A substantial number of the top F-Open rifles are also built on Ray's LowBoy stocks including several members of Team USA.
