Jerry has misinformed you
yes he is a good guy and quite helpful.
He knows lots about non-windflag reading of conditions, much more so than I.
He has posted lots and spent lots of time behind the keyboard.
He can hit targets far far away.
But he said he never competed. (post 18 for those who wish to check)
and here is where the misinformation started.
quote the mega dollar optics end quote
I guess the summerland folks who use nesika actions expensive leo or nightforce scopes dont count. (I was not there just think some custom actions and costly scopes were there)
GUESS WHAT A $400 WEAVER 36X WAS ON THE GUN WHICH FINISHED 14TH AT 200 YARDS 5 10 SHOT GROUPS IN THE WIND IN OHIO. out of about 180 shooters from around the world 26 or so countries this at the world benchrest championship OK
I know because it was my gun and I was steering it.
so to say MEGA DOLLAR SCOPES IS MISLEADING, there are weaver scopes used by about 50 per cent of competitive BR short range shooters in north america.
gee Jerry likes savage inexpensive
I like weaver inexpensive
the ability to enjoy ones hobby and try not to provide a bias or misleading info as the saying goes priceless.
But you non-br shooters jump all over someone because they have only posted a few times. perhaps they hold some records, mmmmmm
maybe my 8 provincial records and
finishing 4th in the world team event in vienna austria means nothing to those of you who count posts for a living,
it is nice for jerry to help folks get on target at 800 yards or so
Jerry I would like to meet you someday
BUT GUESS WHAT DO NOT PROFESS TO KNOW THE SPORT IF YOU HAVE NEVER COMPETED
do not think we are (place adjectives here )
we may actually know something but you all think you know better
please shoot 5 5 shot groups with your guns at 200 or 300 yards
start the groups evry half hour precisely on the half hour
get them measured by someone who knows how to measure them
YOU WILL BE HUMBLED
We do not know or are experts at whatever , we just try to enjoy our hobby
problem is
if you do not understand it or just take shots at us because you cannot do it
THEN IS IT ANY WONDER WE DO NOT POST
I spend almost all of my disposable income either shooting
travelling to a shoot
or helping others on the phone at my long distance cost
for what, people who cannot try to get answers to questions or have to defend a good guy when he might be wrong.
I buy different guns or get them made because they look nice or fancy,
I only became a good shooter because I practised.
the bullets cost only a little more than speer or other brands, do berger 68 grain 6mm per hundred cost more than your 105 grain bergers (if they make a 105)
our sport is not that much more costly
PEOPLE JUST SAY SO CAUSE THEY CANT COMPETE OR HAVE TRIED IT AND FAILED
so they #####
but in fairness an ambulance is needed or at least probable than at the 400 run and belly shoot matches and for that i am grateful
you made me laugh
but seriously
we would like to debate stuff but get #### upon for no reason
we COMPETE not sit on the sidelines or have a 2 shot group in our wallet.
we are interested in the same things
shooting, accuracy when we can get it , and fun with those who share our interests.
I liked the colorful guns and stayed for the accuracy. i know squat about reloading until I tried BR
I did not neck turn cases but bought 200 already done when I started.
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU MAY WANT TO TRY BR
then you might become one of us.
and to that fellow who did not want to meet rick at a shoot, do not worry
you will never travel to alberta to a br match and rick travels to the us of a to shoot
anyway i will not try to repair any damage cause I still think most of you do not want to hear from the
non-flock of sheep
I expect Jerry may let his servants answer for him
but truthfully Jerry is a credit to the sport but I disagree with some of his statements.
(there is that better, those that know me know we are a helpful lot if given a chance)
I too disliked some of the old guys who thought they knew everything.
someday I will travel to summerland. I pulled targets for the 600 yard guys a couple of days before the east west shootout in st loius last year.
It was not for me but it was fun
