I’m pretty sure the last EBR winner was Nicolay, who was at RMAC and failed to make the Finals. But he’ll be at EBR 2021 this October. Who’s Francisco? Watered down? Well, maybe a percent or two, but not significant IMHO.

Sorry you missed RMAC. I think there was 7 countries represented at RMAC this year. Even the Russian winner of EBR 2019. No not everyone could come but there are ways. If you haven't noticed our southern border is none existent you could have flown to Mexico and come here no problem. Invention is the mother of necessity. Seriously hope you can make it next year!

The restriction only applies to people who follow the laws, if you do things illegally then they will roll out the red carpet. Hope that’s not too political.
As I loosely followed RMAC I wouldn’t say it’s watered down or Americans only. Keith who won pro benchrest is a phenomenal shooter. I’ve learned a ton from just the little tip bits he gave out in his videos. His off hand shooting ability is unbelievable and down right unhuman! I’m super happy he won the big title and prize, well deserved!!!

I guess when you say Francisco, you mean Claudio Flores, who won EBR in 2018. Seems like whatever "watering down" there was by not having a couple of international shooters attending, was well made up for by the strong attendance of the UA shooters, the Wolfpack, Team Centercut, Sabertactical, SPAW, Airforce/RAW, etc... Not to mention the 1st time attendance of many of the "higher profile" youtube shooters(who mostly happened to be American), one of which WON the 100yard Benchrest.

I’m really trying to understand your Idea of “water downed” Competition?, you’ll notice that there have been several different winners of each of these events, and within the U.S. most or all of the best shooters competing reside.
The long range Benchrest events will be won on 70% skill and 30% luck in my opinion “sometimes the conditions put the pellet in the Ten Ring as well as out!”.
Everyone is entitled to there opinions, and mine are on U.S. shooters to come out on Top regardless of Comp’s and Venue.

Some people are perfectly able to attend these events but simply have chosen not to. Some that attend RMAC may not attend EBR and vise versa. Traveling isn't easy and some are not heavily sponsored so it can get expensive to travel out of pocket.

@blackpaw, yes it would have been better if you congratulated the winner and give props to all those who did attend. I'm just a backyard shooter and have much respect for those who compete.

You are right, but still believe some couldn’t attend because they weren’t able to because of the USA COVID border restrictions.

This is AIRGUN NATION, the airgunners are it's citizens. It doesn't recognize geographical borders just airgunners. As it should be.
