Without complete information on the equipment used by the participants, the competition is irrelevant.
It is a competition of people, brands of rilfes, brands of pellets, brands of sights, etc.
Knowing who wins is only part of the interest.....

The better shooters typically have better equipment, and these are highly tuned rigs capable of winning. These rigs are all real close as far as precision, then it's up to the shooter as far as accuracy/(placement) goes. As usual it's the individuals that practice a lot that do well provided they don't get stuck in a bad relay/windier and/0r a bad bench/wind eddy's and such.

It's a funny thing because at RMAC there's a ton of FX rifles and in Phoenix a bunch of Daystate's, and of course there was that one Thomas HPX of Jeff's that did so well. All the better rifles like RAW, etc, can also do well. Heck there was a Brocock that won, was it 3 years ago??

The winner at EBR placed 15th at RMAC. I would have arrange that the top shooters are extremely competitive. A small difference (advantage) is it takes to win or lose. No offense intended to participants and winner of either event. I don't want anyone to miss understand this post.

I've shot at BOTH and can tell you they are very different. The ranges and winds are different as is the format. At the recent EBR, the best 75 yard shooters go on to shoot at 100 yards in the finals. At the recent RMAC, the best 100 yard shooters go on to shoot at 100 yards in the finals. So the "culling" of shooters that make it to the finals is different. Tom was at the top at 75 yards and then won a t 100. That is very very good, and unusual. Most of the time at EBR, the top 75 yard shooters don't rise to the top at 100 yards, since its so much different shooting at 75 and 100. Its a 100 yard final event, so if I had my druthers, I druther qualify at the distance that the final is shot at. Just IMHO of course...

@raider03 is correct, small seemingly inconsequential things can make a big difference. Plus there is always a good dash of luck required to finish at the top, especially in crazy swirling winds...

Patience !!!!!, if you saw how much work it took to put on the event you would understand why it takes time to get all the results posted up. The AOA crew has been working day and night for weeks, setting up the range and then start breaking it down yesterday and today. There is a huge amount of equipment and gear to get put away and it takes all hands on deck to do it. Not to mention running the business too. So please give them a break about the entire results, they will come.

Good call, Dave....

In helping out some for EBR, I saw much of the sheer magnitude of labor and resources required to pull this off. They did an AMAZING JOB , imho. Definitely THE best airgun related event I've ever attended .

One thing that never seems to get the attention it deserves is the sponsors. They added an enormous amount to the enjoyment of the event. .... not comprehensive , but thanks to AoA, Athlon, Accutac, American Air Arms, Mike Baker, Raptor (Omega compressors), Iguana Girl, Agt, Daystate, Kraford and Lypt, Kalibergun, RTI, Sightron, Hawke, Leupold.... (all I can think of right now) for their contributions . THANK YOU !!!!!! Man... the pile of Accutacs was incredible by itself. The Steve Corcoran stocked EVOL was awesome! Ramus Tech was there with some new products! The guys at Phx Airgun Club and Ronnie Tanner for the 50 and IRL... THANK YOU .

If you missed it.... I'm sorry ..... chatting with Iguana Girl, Extreme FT, Speed, Joe Wayne Rhea, Chad.... on and on..... Tom Adams definitely on a roll 💪😎(sincere congratulations, Tom)..... it was killer. Glad it's done so I can rest for a day.

Funny one, though. BlueBaby and I shot the same score on the second qualifier, then ended up 3rd in each of our respective relays and drew benches next to each other in the Main, where she proceeded to beat me by 1 point in very tough conditions. At least I beat her in the Speed and EFT 😉😄
