I think it’s pretty amazing that John went out there with a hunting rifle, chambered in 7MM STW, on a sporter stock and with a SWFA Super Sniper fixed 20 power scope he got on sale for $259 and hung tuff with and beat the best that money can buy. This just shows that the common man can compete. This is great for the future of our shooting sport.

Would it be possible to change my last name to correct spelling? Nate or Nathan Stallter. Thank you.

Just a point of clarification, Paul and John completed the 3-for-3 at 1500 in the same heat. I believe John shot either right after Paul or 1 shooter after him.

I still like the Long range shooters of Utah “Milk Jug challenge” better. Far more interesting to me than this silly event. That’s just my opinion. I think money making opportunities abound.

I’m glad they adopted my 3-3-36 standard for ELR. I been preaching it long enough.

Why is the picture sideways?

Hasn’t the camera operator ever watched TV?

Editor: 90% of the video has the correct format. Near the end of the video the camera operator tilted his cellphone camera to better show the rifle. Unfortunately, the sample video frame for the “start picture” was from the short sideways segment. This is a Facebook video, so we are not able to make changes.

Noting the arguments flying around, I think there is still a long road to travel before this establishes itself as a discipline. Hopefully SHOT discussions will help but strongly held opinions appear to be the order of the day!
