Can you say catastrophic failure? Thank God that the shooter walked away with just some soot on his face. The ammo was factory Wi******er. The barrel was clear so it wasn’t a squib. The case separated at the head and most of the case head is embedded in the bolt face. I’m thinking it may have been an overcharged cartridge. Any other thoughts?

🏆 A&J MONTHLY BRAGGING RIGHTS BOARD 🏆

Starting in September!

Think you’re the fastest and most accurate shooter at the range? Here’s your chance to prove it.

Each month, we’ll set up a Stage of the Month for anyone to shoot. Your goal is simple: put down the best Hit Factor you can and earn your spot on the Bragging Rights Board!

We’ll keep a whiteboard inside the range displaying the Top 5 Hit Factors for that month.

The stage will be set up 4 days each month. The exact dates will be posted by the beginning of each month.

Shoot the stage, calculate your Hit Factor, and submit your score for the board to Chris Timmons.

If you happen to catch your run on video, share it on social media and tag A&J! We’d love to see your run and share in the friendly competition.

Shoot it as many times as you want and keep chasing that top spot.

At the beginning of each new month, we’ll post a new stage and reset the leaderboard.

No prizes. No excuses. Just BRAGGING RIGHTS. 😎

Who’s taking the #1 spot for September?
