				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" hspace="6" src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/kentreeve.jpg" alt="Kent Reeve Palma team">Forum member Kent Reeve (Cary, NC) is best known as a High Power and long-range shooter. Kent won the <a href="http://www.nra.org/Article.aspx?id=6760" target="new">2006 NRA National Long-Range Championships</a>, edging out John Whidden by two points. However, Kent recently set a new NRA civilian record for smallbore metric prone shooting. Scoring <strong>1,576 out of a possible 1,600</strong> points, Reeve broke the record at the NC Smallbore Metric Prone State Championship held May 9-10 in Creedmoor, North Carolina. Kent used Lapua&#8217;s new X-ACT rimfire ammo.</p>
<p>Reeve&#8217;s accomplishment attracted the attention of the mainstream media. On June 4, Reeve was profiled by the <a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/802/story/1554571.html" target="new">News &amp; Observer</a> in Raleigh, NC. In that story, Reeve revealed that he shoots rimfire matches &#8220;for the training&#8230; it&#8217;s easier to find a 100-yard range.&#8221; Reeve also explained that smallbore shooting helps improve his centerfire marksmanship because the longer barrel time of the 22LR round makes a perfect hold even more important: &#8220;The .22 [rimfire] bullet stays in the barrel about three times longer than the .308, so any shot placement error is magnified.&#8221; Reeve recently headed to Wisconsin, where he will compete for a spot on the 2011 USA Palma team. Reeve has been a <a href="http://www.uspalma.com/2003_team.htm" target="new">USA Palma Team</a> member in the past, and we wish him luck in the team selection matches.</p>
