Congratulations to Ken Hicks for His 25M EBR win

[jps2486]

Ken Hicks, using his RAW BM500 shot a record score of 746 at the 2017 EBR 25 Meter Benchrest competition. Ken has worked hard for this with much practice, technical analysis, and stiff local competition.. It's been a privilege to shoot against him in our local matches in Florida.

That's amazing, I was watching and when your score came up I was like WTF?!? Great job Ken!

Hey Ken I was there as well did not do well at the 25m, But shot a bit better at the extreme . I'm curious what pellets do you use? and do you do anything special them? 

 

[adijorio]

That was outstanding shooting, you are the man to bet. See you next year.

Congrats!!!!
What gun did you use.
I also missed the pro class finals by 4. My target got cross fired three times on Friday. The winner Shane Keller also had one crossfire ,just shows he is really sound headed did not fluster him, it did me so completing the card I only shot a 210 and Saturday I shot 234.
