Kevin Nevius of Team Lapua Wins Smallbore Prone Championship
Story based on report by Lars Dalseide for NRABlog.com
Kevin Nevius is the 2014 NRA smallbore prone National Champion. It’s not the first time Nevius has won the NRA Smallbore Prone Rifle crown. A phenomenal prone shooter, Nevius has now secured multiple National Titles. That may be surprising notion given Kevin’s relatively late start in the sport of competitive shooting.
“My brother got me into long range varmint hunting and I started building my own guns very early,” Nevius told Dan Holmes in an earlier Pronematch.com interview. “I had a hunting friend who shot indoor smallbore who started me in three position and I was hooked.”
With a practically perfect score of 4799-390X, Nevius beat out second and third place shooters by two points … on the final day of the Conventional Championships. The 2014 NRA National Smallbore Rifle Championships wrap up this weekend with Metric Prone. Will we have another new 2014 smallbore champion or will there finally be a repeat? Stay Tuned.

“He showed his steel,” said Assistant Match Director Victoria Croft. “On the last day, the final relay, when it really counted, he didn’t miss a shot.”

Great job Kevin!!!
You beat some skilled shooters – Eric is no easy person to shoot against. Seems like your ammo / barrel / action combo is really working for your skill set.
Keep up the good work!

Above all Kevin is a class act of a guy. Way to go Kevin!
I know Eric Uptagraft from my intrest in ISSF 50M Prone! Fantastic prone shooter.
I do how ever not know a lot about this NRA small bore, so can anyone tell me the size of the X and 10 ring on the target. Is this a total of 480 shoot match, is it only prone or 3P?
I see he’s shooting with a rifle scope, can you choose between a scope and Iron sights or is it scope only?
Congrats to Kevin, good shooting. Thanks also to accurateshooter.com for the report. When you go to Nra results
