Love seeing all the players. Noticed very few " big name " players in the money. ( that I see)
Did they show?
Anxious to see the winner/ rifle/ caliber chart.

Agreed. It's strange to have such a big event and not have an official match report published in a timely manner.

Not too strange. It's like this after every big match. Takes a few days. And after every big match we have these requests for results. We'll get em.
I do the match reports for a couple field target clubs and usually we only have 8-20 guys, shooting one event. It takes me a couple days to compile the stats and equipment lists and photos, and type out a description, etc just for that small scale. In contrast, EBR is huge, it goes for 4 days and includes multiple events. Lots of info to try to parse down into concise tables listing shooters, placings, and equipment.

ALL the big names were there. Every winner and almost all of the top 5 or 10 in Pro from 2018 on were present. The competition was so stiff that at least three previous EBR or RMAC winners didn't even qualify for the 100Y finals...

Perhaps it is the norm, but I still think its strange. I think you hit it. Its understandable for small match directors to take a few days to get the report out. But there's money in this. Not just in prize, but in influence purchases. Seems strange to me to not capitalize on that momentum. For a big money, big attendance annual event, I'm still surprised they don't have a match report out same day as closing. At least just a formal ranking list for each event.

I noticed the same thing Keyman. I was looking for Matt Dubber and Ted Bier in particular. I didnt see them in the unofficial rank lists so I presume they didnt show.

True, they didn't show... But the big winners from RMAC 2022 - Dusty Powers and Boyd Linder - showed up along with all the other really good Utah shooters like Jayson Barnes, Shane Royce, and Justin Welch to name just a few, plus all of the Daystate Wolf Pack shooters. We had a higher level of competition at EBR 2022 than any other 100Y BR event that I've attended, and I've been to all of them since 2018. There were approx. 110 Pro Division shooters competing in the Main Event, 75Y/100Y BR
PS., three previous winners (RMAC or EBR) didn't qualify for the 100Y finals...

I can say YES, but I can't really back it up. Both 1st and 2nd shot the .22 RD Monsters. IMHO unless you do EXTENSIVE sorting, you'll occasionally get a flyer with the RDMs. And also, the older (circa 2017) shallow cavity seem to work better than the newer ones, and the 2nd place finisher (Nicolay) confirms that in a few of his YouTube videos that he scores MUCH better with the older ones than the newer ones, and the newer ones are the only ones you can find (he has a big stash of the older 2017 version that he only shoots in competition)
Sorting RDMs I would end up with maybe 200 out of a 350 count tin (FX brand RDMs come in large tins). Before EBR I sorted two 300 count tins of .25 King Heavy. I split them into two piles, 33.8 to 34.0 grains and 34.1 to 34.3 grains. So each pile the pellets were only two grains from each other. Out of the 600 pellets, only about 30 didn't fall into that weight band. The 25 King Heavy have a slightly better BC than the .22 RDMs, and I think the overall pellet quality is better... I had ZERO flyers at EBR this year...

About the high performance shooters that didn't make the finals.
Do you think that has anything to do with the distance push out to 100y? I'm wondering if 100y is too far to be a repeatable skill indicator.
My suspicion = At 75y, the top 10 spots would be pretty repeatable as its mostly weighted by skill. But at 100y, pellet stability, response to wind, etc is so exaggerated, it takes high skill + a little luck to pull off a qualifying spot.

A year ago I would have agreed with you. But we are starting to see repeat top tens pretty regularly, so it can't be just luck at 100Y. Yes, there is an amount of luck, but reading the wind is a specifically acquired skill that until very recently us 100Y shooters hadn't cultivated. Look at Jeffrey and Nicolay for a good example. They are the best at reading the wind, and their success has little to do with gun accuracy...

I noticed most of the brands of guns we all know and talk about. FX, Daystate, RAW, Airforce, Taipan, Brocock, Thomas, Benjamin plus many more . All were decked out and tuned to the 9's+by their shooters. To me, what was most intriguing was the intense focus and commitment of the individual shooters, "Big Names" were there and "Newcomers" alike, striving to achieve harmony and perfection between them and their chosen "brands" against the daily elements of wind, heat, cold... This event (as well as others) is about the shooter and their discipline and cannot be disconnected and compartmentalized into "brands" of this and that. Not that simple, but important. The human factor and the natural surroundings cannot be underestimated in any way. These competitors are individuals and teams, that bring together the "sum of the parts" . The clear winner is obvious in my opinion.
