2011 Hickory Groundhog and Egg Shoot

host — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 16:16:20 +0000

The 31st. version of the Hickory Groundhog & Egg shoot was pretty exciting and an extreme test of shooting skill. Those shooters that were lucky to get into the first couple of relays were lulled into a ( hey I got this thing for sure ) fantasy land by the time it was their time at 300yds. And then those that were lucky enough to make it through the 300yd. line on the groundhog had to brave about the worst of windy conditions I have seen in the 28 years I have attended this match. Not to mention the “Pucker Factor” coming into play by that time.

The wind was so hard the tent poles had to be held on by several brave fellows so the shooting could continue and then everyone who wanted to take a crack at the egg– got to do just that. Conditions went down hill from there on.

It was great having my Daughter, Jennifer and her husband John, who does all my web-site work and keeps me from shooting a hole through my computer with me to see all my long time friends and some I only knew from the phone. Great to put a face with a name.

To me this is just like opening day at the ball park. First serious match of the year and I do believe everyone had a great time. I know we all 3 did. Jennifer even said she might want to shoot next year so if I can get someone to show her how its done she might just be back with me. But one thing for sure– Lord Willing and nothing happens – I’ll be back.

Have a great spring varmint hunting season and may your name appear at the top of the page many time in the matches this year.

Father-Son Odyssey from South Africa

host — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:21:58 +0000

	Diane and I are blessed having customers all over the globe and this is a story of one from South Africa we have done business with for many years. If anyone we do business with is addicted to the shooting sport our Friend Dawie is. Now he is passing the addiction on to his 17 year old son David.
	They traveled from South Africa to the US and then on to Canada for the 128th. F-Class Championships in Ottawa. Not only did they make the South African team, they managed to have their names at the top of the page several times and shot a truly amazing bunch of matches. It’s truly any Father’s dream to shoot with his son and Dawie was as excited as any Father could be everytime he called me during the 2 weeks they were shooting. Diane & I congratulate Dawie & David for one fine Championship performance. We are already making plans for Raton, NM. next year. I told you Dawie was addicted.
	This is a note Dawie sent me after he got back to South Africa and wanted me to post it on my site. Diane & Bill
	I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and my son David. Going to shoot overseas without the right equipment would have been disastrous for us all. I don’t think my son and I are very good shooters but with the right equipment and all the help from you we managed to make it to the top. David is only 17 years old and was leading the competition from day one. We were unable to use the range for testing when we arrived in Canada and had to rely on what you told us to shoot as far as a load for David’s rifle. That load was spot on for David’s rifle and the load for my rifle was amazingly just as accurate. Not having two front rests we had to rush around and borrow a rest most of the time for David. I believe if not for that David would have won the overall competition.
	I have attached pictures for you. Both Tracker Stocks, our reamers, scopes, BAT actions, load development, bullets, bags and rest were supplied with pride from D&B Supply. Many Thanks *Dawie*

Jim Bauer and Tony Graham make it a Tracker Sweep.

Once again Tracker Stocks find their way to the top of the page at the 2010 IBS 1000yd. National Championship.

Jim winning the overall 2 Gun Championship using the ST-1000 in light gun and his Maxi Tracker to take top honors in Heavy Gun.

Tony took top light gun group and clinched the light gun overall Championship with his heavy kicking 30 cal. using the MBR Tracker.

Diane & I appreciate all the effort these two men put into preparing for this Championship. Neither shooter leaves anything to chance and it paid big dividends at the 2010 Championship. Thanks for having confidence in our Tracker stocks to get the job done.

Tom Mousel shoots Two – Little One’s – for the records!

host — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:57:26 +0000

The fellows in Montana are at it again. They will not be happy till all the Williamsport 1000yd. World records are set on their range. I think these 2 might stand a long time. Tom Mousel, not new to setting records just blazed 2 “Big Time” records firmly into the books last week by finishing the years 6 match and 10 match Light Gun 10 shot group aggs. with a 4.8813″ – 6 match and a 5.8954″ – 10 match agg. Don’t quote me on this but I think that beats the existing Heavy Gun group World Record aggs. Think about it– 100 shots in 10 different matches in extremely different conditions in Montana and all 100 under 6″s.

That my friends is one “Hell ” of a job.

Congratulations to ya young man, you have set the mark extremely high and Diane and I both thank you for having confidence in your Tracker Stocks and NightForce scopes.

Leo Anderson – Smallest Light Gun Shot Group

host — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:36:16 +0000

[thumb:96:l] Shooters, you are looking at the smallest light gun 10 shot group EVER!! Shot in competition- not practice. Shot under match-championship competition. A 3.475 group and a perfect 100 sccore.

In my book, Leo, you “ARE THE MAN”!! Without question.

Congratulations,

Diane and Bill

New IBS 600-yard Heavy Gun score record

host — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:30:55 +0000

[thumb:89:l]Richard Schatz, 2007 IBS 600-Yard Shooter of the Year, has done it again. While competing in the South Dakota 600-yard State Championships, Richard nailed a superb 5-shot group that may be a new IBS 600-yard Heavy Gun score record. Richard tells us: Got home from the VHA Jamboree and IBS 600-yard South Dakota state championship match held last week at Fort Pierre, SD. During the 600-yard match I managed to lay down a 50 for score in Heavy Gun with a 0.634 group for a potential new score record. While other perfect 50s have been shot in competition, under current rules, group size is the tie-breaker. Schatz’s impressive 0.634 group, we believe, is the smallest 50 shot to date, and one of the smallest groups ever shot at the 600-yard distance. Amazingly, there is just one bullet diameter of vertical:

Richard used Sierra 107gr Match-Kings with great success last year. He recently switched to the Berger 105 VLDs. His testing at 250 yards showed that the Bergers had a very slight edge in agging capability. It wasn’t much¦but enough that I decided to go with the Bergers. Richard’s Krieger barrel has about 800 rounds through it, and he typically cleans the bore every 70-90 rounds: all clean after a match, and don’t let it go past 100 rounds.
