That's Absolutely Awesome.....Congratulations to Thayne & Val....!!!!!!!

In my opinion, I think with the accuracy that is demanded from these rifles....the days of flimsy barreled target air rifles are going to be history....

Very cool to see a new manufacturer doing so well, and congrats to the Simmons.

As are many of us, I'm quite intrigued by the gun. As I looked at those photos, it's got some features that remind me of the legendary (in field target) USFT. Primarily a long and large volume tube paralleling a long solid barrel of serious diameter. Based on how it did in competition, one can only assume that stout barrel is solidly anchored in the action, just like it is in a USFT. And there's also the mention of weight, both guns im referencing here are hefty. So, long and heavy guns with not-messing-around BARRELS. Very cool.

I'm not trying to say they copied or even took inspiration from the USFT, just interesting to see what might be a sort of parallel evolution, at least in those couple of shared features.

And the in-house machined barrels piques my interest as well!

I myself am curious how it attaches also. Threaded? Clamped like USFT or Thomas? I'd be surprised if it was just set screws.

I got to see that gun up close as Donny went over it with me, showing me all the goodies. I most definitely want one in my Arsenal! I like heavy guns, ha ha

Now I get it. There's 9 pounds of decals!

How'd you get an Impact that heavy? Fill it with concrete lol

Scavenged lead pellets come in handy for something??

Looks like the Dynamic Duo of Thayne and Val will be at EBR with the Karma Red Panda. No one has ever won both EBR and RMAC. Should be interesting.
2022 EBR had as much or more talent than any other 100Y BR tournament in the past. I think RMAC 2023 matched that, but EBR 2023 will be even greater. It’s gonna be a wild ride. Let’s ROCK!

What about PAcup? Maybe they should be there as well, back up there wins at RMAC. PAcup should be easy for talent like that! Especially with that Rig…!

 

[Centercut]

PAC isn’t a “Major” like EBR or RMAC. More on the NAC level a step down.
PS., ifs never easy. And if there’s wind it’s even harder….

I was being sarcastic, but competition is competition. I think you will see some pretty big names attend this yr. As I did when I attended, And if you want to talk about a first class shooting facility Cardinal is one of the best. Team CenterCut should attend. I believe the same father son team were there in 2019. Watch Steve’s video from that event.
