guess the handicap fellas wont be able to outshoot you then. solid tactics
That is true. I'm only pointing out much more ridiculous things are going to get as far as un-practicality.
leave it up to the MD to make a 30 pound rifle impractical. it's not that hard to do
Every other sport has placed restrictions on equipment for one reason or another. If I was at the top of the sport and I thought a super heavy rifle would improve my odds if winning, I would hump that heavy rifle through whatever I had to. It's already happened in this sport with 24lb rifles.
Well I just finished 4th at a 2 day NRL match yesterday with an 18lbs 25 creed lol and last 2 day match I ran a 23lbs 6BR and did terrible. I made the move to a lighter rifle because I can move faster and get to different positions faster. I prefer 18-20lbs guns after running 22+ Last season.
Just to play devil’s advocate, but why is running a 30lbs 6BR or whatever caliber bullshit?
We had a match director here that made you carry everything you brought all day long. And you started each stage with everything in your pack and wearing your pack. Made you think about what you really needed.
Separates the men from the (tripod) boys, that's for sure.
Do you think the sport is big enough for weight classes? I suppose with the shooter base being small, it's best to keep everything "open", or have a sportwide restriction.
I don’t know that it is or not, but I also don’t think it’s a problem lol if you can shoot you can shoot. Again, if you can’t read wind, I don’t think a 30lbs 6BR or an 18lbs 6BR is gonna make a difference. Like there’s never been a match I’ve shot where I’ve looked at a stage and said damn I wish I had 5 mor lbs on my gun.
and u have to "carry" everything between stages
Osmium?Tungsten is for the Poors. For the rest of us, Rhenium is were it’s at.
Well Velayo also “only” placed 44th at the PRS Finale, significantly behind the top names in the game who were likely running heavier setups. Given that he teaches fundamentals for a living, he was likely at an equipment disadvantage running an 18lb gun, placing well behind non-professionals.
Velayo also won the PRS California match in March with the same gun. I mean I didn’t see you at either of the matches you speak of. You can say what you want but equipment wasn’t the cause of the 44th place finish or why I finished 4th. Don’t be salty cause you can’t shoot too good lmao
No at the Texas NRL match this past weekend. I mentioned it in post #11 of this thread when asked if I’d do better with an 18lbs gun or a 30lbs gun.
The 43 other people in front of him
Maybe bad wind calls, or sometimes you just don’t have a good match. These matches are 90% mental and you make 1 or 2 mental mistakes and you just start bleeding points. Something like the finale, if you drop 1-2 points per stage you’re so far behind you can’t make it up.
I hate to bitch-- and don't get me wrong; I ate the sandwich and I was happy to have the meal... But it has always been beyond me why people thick cut ham for a sandwich. Thin sliced is so much better I don't even know why the former is still a practiced option...
Lmao spoken like a true loser. Come out to any match and I’ll still out shoot you. Go the fuck home Mike you look like a clown right now.
