there are all kinds of still shoots, the one i was referimg to is the nwtf sanctioned ones where they shoot the H13, and the measure from the muzzle to target they even have a guy stand on the line to make sure you dont creep up, if im not mistaken the winning gun, was a Browning BPS ivector plus barrel 30 inch with a Indian Creek black diamond....... with a H13, i think that gun is cappable of putting near 250 in a 10 at 40. and somewhere of 30-50 in a 3 inch circle. the norm at these shoots is a 28-30 barrel, your right they will use every advantage possible even if it only yields a few pellets.
I gotcha. I do know there are different levels and classes of still targets... most folks when they refer to still shoots are still talking about the Tuesday night shoots at the Ruritan Club or the Firehouse... but it does get much more serious of course. Did the Hevi-13 world record get beaten? Or did someone beat the record they set themselves in the early 2000s?
the trend years ago was shorter is better, nowturkey huntersare moving back to the 24-26 inch barrels
Where'd you get that information from? Not being argumentitive but just curious if it was a generalization or a stated/printed industry figure?
