[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 199932, member: 13"] Erik W. really made the news with his rear-grip Lawton specialty handgun (especially set-up for BR-extra long barrel) grouped a 11.820 in the 11 pound class. He was a using a rear-grip Mcree stock. He won second place for group in the Sunday 11 pound class. NOTE: (All groups are 10-shot groups & that is a lot harder than 5-shot groups):eek: Erik/XP-Jr. in the heavy gun class using the rear-grip 6.5-284 XP-100 (1st time my son has ever been in a match against rifles) had a 10-shot 21 inch group with 9 of his shots inside 11.5 inches. We also noticed that his 9 shots had a 3 inch vertical group whereas the horizonatal as mentioned was 11.5 inches. For a 13 year old that is pretty good. Also, on Friday, which was the practice day the very 1st shot he took with the rear-grip 6.5-284 he shattered a clay pigeon @ 1K (Actually he nailed it at about 1040 yards since the clays are behind the target area) To say the least, he had a good weekend. Eric W. had a print-out of the match and I was surprised to discover that I was 3rd place for score (84) in the 11 pound class with a 16.5 inch group (shooting off of a Harris bi-pod) using a center-grip XP chambered in 6x47 Lapua/H-S Stock/Lawton 1-7.65 twist barrel/Leupold Vari-X 3 LR/T 8.5-25 scope. The other 11 pound match I had a breakage with my bolt stop/release, but even with that I managed to keep all 10 on paper. When I shot the 7mm Dakota (bi-pod again) in 16.5 pound class we had some switchy conditions and I placed 3rd out of my relay of 8 shooters. 3 of the 4 relays I shot in I used my field gear to compete (not the typical front rest w/ rabbit ear back bag) as I wanted to see what could be done with a bi-pod. Next time I won't shoot off of a bi-pod, but will use a front rest for faster loading and consistent tracking. I just wanted to use what I typically hunt with and see how it would do. These matches are not about trying to beat rifle shooters, but that is a nice icing on the cake when you do it. It is really about competing against yourself and developing your skills. I had a lot of fun and am working on ways to be better off of the bench. [/QUOTE]
