Team – So, can we find the 200m magic formula? 🤔

After the last 200m Fly shoot, I was really keen to see how that batch of ELEY Limited Match performed through the Vudoo Gun Works V22 single shot at 50m.

I also wanted to look at the velocities on my Garmin Xero C1 and see if there was anything in the data that might help identify am******on that will perform at 200m.

I don't get much time to shoot at the moment, so I took advantage of the weekend and headed back to the range the very next day.

Unfortunately, the conditions were absolutely horrendous. Switching winds, blowing a gale in every direction and constantly changing before I could even spot the switch. Not exactly ideal for am******on testing.

Normally, I'll shoot two 10-shot groups when testing a batch. With the cost of am******on these days, that's about as much as I can justify.

However, due to the conditions the first 10 shot group was absolutely terrible, so I shot a further two 10 shots groups because after what this batch had done at 200m, I wanted to give it every opportunity to show me what it could do.

And honestly…I was surprised.

The am******on shot okay, but I have several batches that shoot considerably better at 50m.

If I'd only tested this batch at 50m, there's a very good chance I would have overlooked it and not bought anymore.

And then came the velocity data, Terrible. 😂

I was expecting the velocities to be sensational after how well it performed at 200m.

They weren't. What I found particularly interesting was the am******on didn’t produce the velocity numbers I would have expected from something that performed so well as it did at 200m.

I'm trying to find a formula where I can test am******on at 50m, look at the groups and velocity data, and confidently select the batches worth taking out to 200m.

This batch has just made that a lot harder.

It didn't stand out at 50m, the velocity numbers weren't impressive.

Yet at 200m…It absolutely smoked.

So once again, I'm reminded of something Eric Cortina often says, “Believe in the target.”

At the end of the day, nobody scores your velocity, nobody scores your SD and nobody looks at your target and says, “Mate, that’s a terrible group, but what an impressive SD.” 😂

They score the holes in the target.

I'm still going to keep collecting the data because there has to be something we can learn from it.

However, the more I test, the more I realise that trying to find a shortcut can sometimes create a bigger problem than simply doing the test properly in the first place.

But this has reinforced one thing for me, There are no shortcuts.

If you want to know whether a batch will shoot at 200m…You need to test it at 200m.

And that's bloody inconvenient when you live so far from the range. 😂

TEST. DON'T GUESS.
Because Targets Don't Lie. 🎯

Team – Sometimes you just have to shoot the bloody thing… 😂

After not being able to get much shooting in lately because of other commitments, I couldn't wait to get back to the range this weekend for some 200m Fly.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to put flags out, so this was never going to be a serious testing session, it was simply about getting back behind the r***e and having some fun.

So, rather than overthink it, I grabbed a batch of ELEY Limited Match that I had never shot through the Vudoo Gun Works V22 single shot before. I'd shot it in one of my other r***es and it had performed well, so I thought…Why not?

TARGET 1
First shot…9.

I made an adjustment and then put the next four shots straight into the 10 ring, including a FLY.

I was pretty bloody happy with that target, but I also knew it could be short-lived. The conditions first thing in the morning are normally pretty kind to us.

Then the wind turns up…and usually proceeds to ruin everyone's day. 😂

TARGET 2
I was hoping I could get somewhere close to the first target.

Somehow…I finished with another 50, including a 9-group.

Okay…now this was getting interesting.

TARGET 3
By this point the wind had picked up a little, and I wasn't expecting miracles, I just wanted to hold it together.

Then somehow I put three shots into a nice little group to the left of the fly, another straight into the right side of the fly…and then dropped one underneath it.

Another 50, four flies and another 9-group.

At this point I was starting to wonder what the hell was going on.

I'd never shot this batch through the Vudoo before.

Three targets, I started with a 9, made an adjustment…and then followed it with 14 straight 10s, including FIVE FLIES.

That's not exactly what I was expecting when I grabbed a random batch of Eley Match out of the cupboard. 😂

TARGET 4
And then came the wind! It was up during my sighters, but as soon as I started on the target…it dropped.

So I started chasing it, and I got away with it for the first three shots.

Then I completely missed a massive drop-off in the wind and put one low and right and this is where I made a fatal mistake.

I looked at the am******on and thought, “This is untested am******on, trust yourself, it must be the am******on.”

What I should have been thinking is you have just shot 14 straight 10s, including FIVE FLIES, ADJUST and take the last shot.

But I kept the same hold…and put the last shot right next to the last one. That one was on me, I let the system down.

ONE TARGET LEFT.
Time to redeem myself…or completely fall off the cliff. 😂

The wind came back for the first three shots and somehow…all three were flies.

Then the wind started to drop away again. I chased it with the next shot and put a 10 to the right bit the last shot I didn't compensate enough…9 to the right.

So I finished with a 49, with 3 flies and another 9-group.

LOOKING BACK AT IT…
I'm actually blown away by how well this batch of Eley Match shot through the Vudoo. I had never shot this batch through this r***e before.

And across four targets — 20 shots — I only dropped two 9s.

One was the first shot, the other was the last shot. Everything else? 18 tens and 8 flies.

Not bad for am******on I grabbed because I thought, “It shot alright in another gun. Let's give it a crack.” 😂

And this is exactly why I love rimfire.
You can test something at 50m.
You can test velocity.
You can look at SD and ES.
You can test it in another r***e.
But ultimately…
200m tells its own story.

The next step is obvious.

I'm going to put this batch through the Vudoo at 50m, see what the groups look like and record the velocities so I have some proper data on it.

Because now I want to know why it shot so bloody well.

And maybe that's the biggest lesson from the day.

When the r***e is shooting and the am******on is doing what you want…TRUST the system.

Don't let the word “untested” convince you that it can't possibly be good.

And don't start changing things just because you don't believe what you're seeing.

BATCHES WIN MATCHES.
TEST. DON'T GUESS.
Because…
TARGETS DON'T LIE. 🎯

Team – Another little problem solved.

Well… apparently I’ve decided that if something annoys me enough, I’m just going to design something to fix it. 😂

So here’s the latest addition to the TripleJ Precision product line.

Introducing the ARCA-Bench. ARCA in. Benchrest out.

If you've got a r***e sitting in a chassis or stock with an ARCA rail, you've probably found yourself in this situation before:
* You want to do some proper am******on testing.
* You want to shoot it from a proper benchrest front rest.
* But your r***e is set up for ARCA.
* So what do you do?
* Start modifying things?
* Buy another stock?
* Change your entire setup?
* Or, apparently, just wait for some idiot to design an adapter. 😂
* Enter the ARCA-Bench.

The concept is actually pretty simple.

The ARCA-Bench uses a solid metal ARCA clamp attached to a purpose-designed 3-inch-wide paddle.

Clamp it onto your ARCA rail, drop the 3-inch section into your benchrest front rest, and you've effectively converted your ARCA-equipped r***e into something you can use with a conventional 3-inch benchrest setup.

Which means you can now take your:
* ARCA-equipped chassis
* ARCA-equipped stock
* hunting r***e
* competition r***e
* or whatever else you've managed to bolt an ARCA rail onto…
…and put it onto a proper benchrest front rest.

Particularly useful for am******on testing. Because when you're trying to work out whether a batch of am******on actually shoots, I'd rather remove as many variables as possible.

And if you've already got a good benchrest sitting there…Why not use it?

I spent quite a bit of time designing the paddle so it matches the ARCA clamp, rather than looking like two completely unrelated bits of equipment bolted together.

Because if we're going to make something useful…It might as well look bloody good too 😂

The end result is a compact, smart little adapter that gives you another option for testing and shooting without having to completely change your r***e setup.

And that's really what I'm trying to do with these products, not reinvent the wheel, just find those annoying little problems that we all encounter at the range and come up with a simple solution.

ARCA-Bench
ARCA in. Benchrest out.

Another little problem solved.

Because TEST. DON'T GUESS.

And if you're going to test…you may as well do it properly.

Team – It’s finally here…..The SuperFeet PuK! 🏒

I’ve teased this a couple of times in the background of some of my product photos, and I’ve had a few people ask, “What the hell is that thing?”

Well…after a bit of testing, I’m finally ready to release it.

Introducing the TripleJ Precision SuperFeet PuK.

If you use Benchrest super feet, you already know how important they are to your setup.

You also know how easy it is to throw them into your gear bag after a shoot and have them bouncing around with everything else which isn’t exactly ideal.

They deserve better than being thrown into a bag with bipods, tools, am******on boxes and whatever other crap we manage to accumulate at the range.

So…I made something for them.

The SuperFeet PuK is a purpose-built protective case designed specifically to protect your super feet when they aren't attached to your r***e.

And yes…it looks like an ice hockey puck, hence the name. 🏒

But there’s a little more to it than just looking cool. A strong magnet is embedded into the base of the PuK, allowing it to snap onto virtually any suitable metal surface on your benchrest, equipment or range setup.

So rather than putting your Super Feet somewhere “safe” and then spending the next 10 minutes wondering where the bloody hell you put them…SNAP, straight onto the bench.

The PuK is designed to give your super feet a protected home when they're not doing their job, while also giving you somewhere convenient to keep them during a shoot.

I've spent a fair bit of time testing the design before putting it out there because I didn't want to release something simply because it looked good in a photo. It needed to work, and now I'm happy with it.

So after teasing it in the background for a while…The SuperFeet PuK is officially released.

Small product, simple idea, but one less thing to worry about when you're trying to concentrate on putting tiny holes in tiny targets.

Because we already have enough things trying to screw up our groups.

We don't need our gear bag joining in. 😂

TEST. DON’T GUESS.
Because Targets Don’t Lie.
And apparently…
Neither do hockey pucks. 🏒😏

TEAM – THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SPORT

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned John Patzwald.

I said then, and I still believe now, that John is one of the most knowledgeable, generous and genuinely helpful people I have ever met in this sport.

John was also one of the main inspirations behind what I've called my Living Barrel Theory, and his willingness to share his knowledge has influenced a lot of the way I approach testing.

Well, even while taking a break from the sport, John still doesn't disappoint! 😂

Somehow, John became aware of my post from 7 July, which set off a chain of events that eventually led to Clinton Sondergeld, one of John's original Padawan learners, reaching out to me.

Clinton was incredibly generous with his time and passed on some information about tuners which he has found through his own testing and information passed onto him by others who are also extremely knowledgeable in this area. I thought this was too good to keep to myself. So, naturally...

I'm passing it on to you.

One of the first things Clinton highlighted was how much temperature and weather can affect a tuner and how delicately they should be treated. It doesn't take much movement to change what the system is doing, and there is a pattern to the tune as you wind the tuner through its adjustment range.

He also said the first thing you should check is whether your tuner is concentric. If it isn't, you could potentially be chasing false tunes.

Now what was the first thing I did? Checked every tuner I own. 😂

He also gave me some interesting information about Harrel-style tuners, including that he removes the click mechanism because one click can be too much adjustment when you're trying to extract the absolute maximum from a tuner. That caught my attention because, ironically, the click mechanism is one of the features I like about those tuners.

The Lowey Products Australia tuners don't have that click, which makes very fine adjustments much easier and less you have to tinker with.

Another point that really caught my attention was that in cold conditions, if a system isn't shooting, sometimes a movement of as little as half a click can make a significant difference. That’s a bloody small adjustment and it got me thinking...

I've often found those really cold competition mornings can be some of the hardest days for my systems to shoot consistently. When everyone on those days were saying, “Oh what a beautiful day” I’m sitting there thinking, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”.

So now I have another variable to investigate, and that's the whole point of this post.

John shared his knowledge with me, that led to my own testing and experimentation.

John then saw one of my posts, that led to Clinton reaching out and shared his knowledge.

Now I'm sharing it with all of you.

That's the community I want TripleJ Precision to be.

Information shouldn't be something we guard. If someone has spent years learning something, why not share it and help the next person?

So to John and Clinton, Thank you!

It's an absolute credit to both of you that you are willing to share what you've learnt rather than keep it to yourselves.

If either of you sends anything else my way that I think can help the team, I'll happily pass it on.

The Living Barrel Theory continues.

And apparently...
the rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper. 😂

TEST. DON'T GUESS.
BATCHES WIN MATCHES.
BECAUSE TARGETS DON'T LIE.

Team – There has been two more shoots.

Following on from my last post, I’ve now managed to get through another two shoots and I’ll be honest…I was a little apprehensive going into both of them.

After the dramas I’ve had with the sights over the last few shoots, my confidence in them hasn’t exactly been sky high.

I’m not sure whether that has been part of the problem, but I’ve also noticed something else creeping into my shooting…My concentration hasn’t been great.

Whether that’s a bit of a hangover from finishing the selection period, I’m not sure, as for months there was an immediate goal in front of me. Something to work towards.

Now that’s finished, I’m back into training mode and the goal is simply to get better.

Maybe that sounds strange, but apparently my brain likes having a deadline and a bit of pressure to work towards. Take that away and suddenly it thinks we’re on holidays. 🤦‍♂️😂

Either way, concentration has definitely been an issue and it was something I noticed going into both of these shoots.

SHOOT ONE - I wasn’t using my good am******on andI’m currently working my way through the leftovers of a brick of ELEY Limited Match that didn’t shoot particularly well in my bench gun, so rather than waste it, I’m using it for training.

And that’s exactly what it is for. Training.

The conditions weren’t great and at times I found myself having to aim off a fair bit to keep things within the required time.

I eventually finished with a 621.4.

The overall group was reasonably round, but still a little larger than I would have liked, even allowing for the conditions.

There were also two shots that I simply couldn’t explain, shot 12 – high and shot 35 – low.

Apart from those two random visitors and a couple of low strings, I was reasonably happy with how I shot.

But those two unexplained shots were sitting there in the back of my mind because after everything that happened with the sights…
You start questioning everything.
* Was it me?
* Was it the am******on?
* Was it the sights?
* Was it the conditions?
* Or was it just one of those things?

SHOOT TWO - Going into the second shoot, I actually had a little more confidence. The conditions were better than the previous session, although they were certainly not what I would call good.

The first two strings went extremely well, everything was behaving. Then nek minut, I got to shot 29 and this is where things got interesting…or, more accurately…bloody annoying.

Shot 29 was high right, then 30 was way high right followed by shot 32 which was way low left, which were both opposite to the wind and that immediately brought back memories of the old sight problem.

I stopped, had a break and tried to actually think about what was happening rather than just chasing holes around the target like a lunatic.
And then…For absolutely no apparent reason…Everything started going where it was supposed to again.
No adjustment, no magical solution, no scientific breakthrough, it just started behaving itself.

Because apparently that’s how rimfire works. 😂

Everything was going well again until shot 49, where I finally got caught by the wind, that ones definitely on me.

The session finished with a 622.6. So, not exactly setting the world on fire, but I actually felt I handled the concentration side of things better in this shoot than the previous one and that might be the biggest positive I take from it.

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME?

I still don't know whether the random fliers are me, the am******on, the sights, the conditions, or some combination of all four and that’s exactly why I’m not going to start making excuses or changing ten things at once.

That would be guessing. The next session is another test. I’ll change one thing.

I’m going to use a different batch of Eley Match and see whether those random, unexplained fliers are still there.

At the same time, the biggest thing I need to work on is me. I need to keep my concentration and focus for the entire session, not just when things are going well, not just when the target looks pretty but the entire session.

Because it’s very easy to blame the r***e, the sights, the am******on or the wind when something goes wrong.

Sometimes the problem is sitting behind the r***e and unfortunately, I know exactly where he lives. 😂

The next few shoots will hopefully tell me a lot more. If the random fliers disappear with a different batch, we’ve learned something, if they don't, then the investigation continues.

Either way, I'm not going to guess.

TEST. DON’T GUESS.
Because Targets Don’t Lie.
And apparently, neither do those bloody random 9s. 😏
The Living Barrel Theory continues…

09/09/2026

TEAM – Something else wasn’t quite right….

As per my last post, I said I would follow up on the issue I had with my kneeling sights after adjusting them down from 90m to 50m.

Well...I found something interesting.

After shooting the two 40-shot matches at 90m, I was pretty well cooked.

Somehow, in my fatigue, I completely forgot to adjust the sights back down to 50m until I was already in position and ready to start the 50m prone match. Not ideal. 😂

It was only then that I noticed something wasn't quite right.

As I wound the rear sight down, the further the centre post of the sight moved towards the bottom of the sight body, the clicks started to feel really spongy.

Normally, the clicks on these sights are nice and crisp. You know exactly what you've done, click. click. click.

These weren't and the further down I went, the worse they felt. It was by that stage I was already in position, the match was about to start and I didn't have the opportunity to pull everything apart and work out what was happening.

So..I just had to go with it. I shot the match and, with every click down, I became more and more conscious of how the sight was feeling and I'll be honest...It wasn't doing much for my confidence.

Now, before anyone thinks I'm blaming the sights for my score, I'm not. The conditions were absolutely terrible and most of my errors came down to my own lack of concentration.

There were plenty of shots where I simply didn't do what I needed to do, but after what had happened with my prone sights in Adelaide, I was already feeling a little uneasy about the whole situation.

When you lose confidence in your equipment, even if the equipment is actually doing what it's supposed to do, it gets into your head and that's not where you want to be during a 60 shot prone match in horrible conditions.

At the end of the prone match I had to get everything packed up and ready for the bench match, so I didn't have time to investigate the sights properly.

By the end of the day...I was absolutely cooked. It had been a long day and that prone match had taken a fair bit out of me so it wasn't until I eventually got home that I could actually sit down and have a proper look at what was happening.

I wound the rear sight up and as soon as I cleared the lower section of the sight body, the clicks came back. Crisp, positive and exactly how they normally feel.

Hmmmm...Now we had something.

It appeared that when the rear sight was wound right down into that lower part of its adjustment range, something wasn't quite happy.

The question now, how do I fix it?

I didn't want to simply accept that I had to run the sight right at the bottom of its adjustment.

I wanted the sight sitting somewhere around the middle of its adjustment range, where it was operating properly and where I was comfortable with it.

Initially, when I set up my prone sight raisers, I had deliberately set the front and rear sights on the same plane.

That meant I was naturally running the rear sight relatively low in its adjustment.

So...time to change the geometry.

Luckily, I have Grünig + Elmiger AG adjustable sight raisers which I have to say, these things are bloody fantastic and probably the best adjustable sight raisers I've used.

So I pulled out the adjustment kit and made a small change. I added 2mm of height to the front sight raiser.

The theory was pretty simple:
Raise the front sight slightly → bring the rear sight higher in its adjustment range → hopefully get those crisp clicks back. Simple, right?

Well...there's only one way to find out if a theory actually works and that’s putting some rounds down the pipe.

And unfortunately, that's where we're going to have to leave this one. 😂

Did the 2mm adjustment fix the problem? Did the rear sight end up sitting where I wanted it? Did the clicks come back to normal under real shooting conditions? Or did I just create another problem for myself?

We'll have to wait for the next post.

Wish me luck...

Because apparently I enjoy making my life complicated. 😂

TEST. DON'T GUESS.
Because targets don't lie.

07/09/2026

TEAM – apparently I need to get better at this social media thing 😂

Firstly, a quick apology...I know, there are bugger-all photos.

The last couple of posts seem to have struck a bit of a chord and, surprisingly, we have picked up a fair few new followers. So firstly, welcome! 👋

Secondly, I probably need to get a little better at the whole social media thing. The problem is, I don't actually have social media outside this page.

So taking photos of what I'm doing, remembering to take photos while I'm doing it, and then actually remembering that people might want to see them...That's all still a bit foreign to me. 😂

I'm generally more Clark Kent than Louis Lane when it comes to documenting what I'm up to. So moving forward, I'll try to be a little more Louis Lane and a little less Clark Kent. No promises though. 😂

Following on from Adelaide, we went straight into the WASPS Open. For those who aren't familiar with WASPS, it's the Western Australia Precision Smallbore Club and it's a great club here in WA, with a great membership base, and the WASPS Open was an absolutely fantastic event.

Paul and Angie were steering the ship, with a number of other great volunteers helping out behind the scenes, and the whole event ran as smooth as butter. That's not something that happens by accident, a lot of work goes into putting these events on, and the people who volunteer their time to make them happen deserve a massive amount of credit. So thank you to Paul, Angie and everyone else involved.

It was a bloody good event.

90 metres - I'll admit, I was a little apprehensive going into the weekend. After Adelaide, Jason at Lowey Products Australia had confirmed that my normal prone sights were, in technical terms..."Stuffed." 😂 So I had to use the set of sights normally used for the kneeling position and to make things even more interesting, we were starting at 90 metres, excellent.

After making sure everything was sighted in correctly, everything seemed to be working well...Everything except the strong, gusting wind.

I walked away from the 90m prone reasonably happy. The scores weren't spectacular, but given the conditions, I was pretty happy with a 194.2 and 195 for a total of 389.02.

The Carl Walther Competition KK500 actually shot extremely well and I wasn’t too far off the top f-class and bench shooters for the match.

I then jumped onto the Vudoo Gun Works V22 single shot for the 90m bench match. The conditions were still playing games, but the Vudoo performed really well with the ELEY Limited Match with a pair of 197.5’s for a total of 394.10.

Next up was the two 60-shot matches at 50 metres.

I started with the prone match and this is where I discovered another little problem with my temporary sights. After shooting at 90 metres, I had to wind the rear sight down 65 clicks to get back onto 50 metres.

Once I was in position, I noticed that the internal mechanism holding the rear iris was now sitting very low and as I wound the sight down, the clicks became extremely spongy and didn't feel right. Unfortunately, I discovered this after I was already in position and the match had started. So there wasn't exactly much I could do about it and I just had to ride the wave and get into it. I will do a follow up post on this later.

The conditions were terrible, but the Walther handled them really well. I also had a few lapses in concentration that certainly didn't help and I finished with a 614.7. Probably the worst conditions of the day and, interestingly, my prone score was still keeping pace with some of the guys shooting F-Class off a bipod. I'll take that. 😂

By the time we got to the final 60-shot bench match, I was absolutely cooked.

Two 40-shot matches at 90 metres and a 60-shot prone match at 50 metres and now another 60-shot bench match.

But...The show must go on.

Normally when I head to the bench, I take two batches of am******on with me. Not because I expect one to fail, but because sometimes a batch that shoots well in testing simply doesn't perform on the day, that's why we test.

At 90 metres, the batch I'd been using, provided very generously by Mark, wasn't working particularly well at 50 metres.

So I switched to my second batch and this was actually quite significant for me as this was the first time I'd used that batch in a match which is the natural progression of my batch testing process. Test the batch, confirm it and then eventually put it into competition.

This particular batch had been a bit of a rollercoaster during testing. The Vudoo had been somewhat out of tune, and this am******on had shown some ups and downs.

But when it mattered, on the day, It performed almost flawlessly. I shot a 106.2 and followed it up with a 106.6 with a final score of 631.2. In those conditions? I'll take that every day of the week.

I think that's probably the biggest thing I took away from the weekend.

Things don't always go exactly how you planned, sometimes you just have to adapt, problem solve and keep shooting.

And, once again, the weekend reinforced something I keep banging on about TEST. DON'T GUESS.

I'll remember to take some bloody photos 🤣

Team – The second lesson from Adelaide!

I said in my last post that finding the faulty rear sight wasn't the only thing I learnt during my week in Adelaide.

The other lesson came from spending a week watching Jason from Lowey Products Australia work.

Honestly, it was bloody impressive, not him, just his work of course 🤣

Prior to this week, I had two of my own sporters sent to Jason as they weren’t shooting.

An J.G. Anschütz GmbH & Co. KG Match 54 and a Turbo Rim Fire Actions V3.

Both had new barrels, but neither were shooting the way they should to be competitive.

The Anschutz - I was pretty convinced there was something wrong with the barrel and in my head, I had pretty much already diagnosed it, "This barrel is no good."

Jason didn't seem quite as convinced.

He went through it, tested it, looked at it, thought about it and kept working at it and eventually...He brought it to life and the thing absolutely smokes now.

Which was a pretty good reminder that sometimes the problem isn't necessarily the thing you've already decided is the problem.

Then there was the Turbo - This one surprised me even more as I actually expected the Turbo to be the easy one, but as always, I was wrong!

It required considerably more work than I expected and there were points where I was honestly thinking, "I need another sporter barrel."

I'd pretty much had enough, but Jason hadn't.

Every time we hit another hurdle, he had another test, another idea, another thing he wanted to try.

There was never really a, "Well, I don't know, buy another barrel”.

It was more, "Okay. Let's try this."

Something I really noticed during the week was Jason wasn't guessing, he was testing and he was always looking at what the r***e was telling him and then making decisions based on that information.

Test. Observe. Adjust. Test again.

Sound familiar? 😂

Eventually we got to the last test with the Turbo.

It started terribly and I was devastated!

Then, after about 20 rounds...It came alive.

The groups started coming together and suddenly we had a completely different r***e.

Jason was shooting a group that was looking damn near perfect...until he shanked the last shot. 😂

But even with that one shot ruining his group, what the r***e was doing was pretty bloody impressive. That’s why gunsmiths should stick to what they do best…….

We then put two different batches of ELEY Limited Match through it, both Jason and I shot groups that I'd happily accept from a heavy gun, and this was a sporter, with no tuner!

That was the moment where I just stood there thinking...Yep. That's why you don't give up too early, and that’s why you choose your gunsmith before you do a build!

It's very easy to look at a r***e that isn't shooting and decide:
"It's the barrel."
"It's the am******on."
"It's the action."
"It needs replacing."

But until you've actually worked through the problem and proven those things, they're just theories.

Now that's probably the biggest thing I took away from watching Jason work for the week.

He didn't just look for the first thing he could blame, he worked the problem and he kept working it until the r***e told him he was right.

Test. Don't Guess.

Because sometimes the difference between a r***e you write off, and a r***e that absolutely smokes, is simply refusing to give up on it.

Unfortunately, the week disappeared far too quickly and I was soon back on a plane and back to work.

However, I came home with a much better understanding of what was going on with my own equipment and a couple of sporters that are now shooting a hell of a lot better than they were when I arrived.

Targets Don't Lie.
And apparently...neither does a good gunsmith. 😂
