Re: AWC can wins Precision Rifle Series.
Graham,
I'll start by saying I know nothing about motorcycle races. I have never seen one. If it is on TV I probably never will. I would bet, though, that if a part reduced the performance of their bike they would just leave it off.
In the decade that I have been shooting these comps I have only personally seen one shooter win a major comp that I attended with a suppressor. That was John Sommers. Many shooters may use them but all that I have tested except for very few have have degraded performance to the point of being relegated to carbine, hunting, or less demanding recreational use. I have a safe full to prove it.
Dustin, myself, and other members of Team Surgeon tested many suppressors with multiples of each brand and they are not all equal. To win we must use gear that does not preclude us from winning.
I know that Frank has the same model. Maybe he'll chime in with some feedback.
Besides, I heard that guy with the AWC can at the finale wasn't so good anyway. It probably was the can that did it.
