Agree, like most events, they already have the info provided when the shooter signed up. Usually gun, caliber, pellet/slug weight, and scope. Normally the rest isn’t requested.
Why do you say that? Yes, he's an awesome shooter, but the .22 RDM is NOT at any sort of disadvantage to the .25 Heavy or .30 caliber pellets.
This was the second year for the shoot at SIG. We were able to view the shoot 2 days a talk to some of the shooters. Best bet for a heads up is to ch3ckthe sig site for next years date. Awesome event. Hard to believe how these folks shot at 650 yardsWhy do you say that? Yes, he's an awesome shooter, but the .22 RDM is NOT at any sort of disadvantage to the .25 Heavy or .30 caliber pellets.
I think the winner shot a .30 Panthera 700mm. Not sure what pellets, but lots of them were shooting AEA pellets. Looking at the videos and photos, plus comments, it seems that two shooters had "pellet issues" like spiraling or flyers and more than likely would have won were that not the case.
Watching Nicolay's videos (which I always do to learn from him), it seems in the finals he had a few 7s caused it appears by bad pellets spiraling (.22 RD Monsters). Had even two of them been 9s, he would have won.
And looking at Keith Gibson's card, and his comments, he had a "flyer" with the .30 JSB 44.75 that gave him a 5. Had that been a 9, he would have won.
Time to move way from JSB?
No, they do not split up calibers into separate groups. There is no advantage to shooting the larger calibers, since the BC on the .22 pellets is comparable to the .25 Heavy and better than the standard JSB .30 pellets. All targets are "plugged" to 0.35 caliber for fairness.
