maby if he did it witha real gun insted of a toy and didnt cheat with that auto stabilizer then he would have been all over the place and the water coled barrle just makes it a cold bore shot evry time wich is also cheep

A shooting record? I suppose.

Like an auto racing record with vehicles without steering wheels, seats, other cars on the track and being driven by on-board computers.

Good luck finding a pretty girl to kiss even if you do win!

Is this the same record that Matt Kline now holds or is that a different discipline?

Yeah, this is much like the open for IPSC, where you see all the super fancy raceguns and all. I mean, he is using even wildcat specialty cartridges. Hey it’s his taste, so whatever. i just wish one of the requirements was the shooter has to do their own build in these classes… one reason why the custom 1911 market is quite the money maker…

I can see how some here might have reservations about the gun used to make this record. As somebody else pointed out this was in the ‘heavy gun’ category where everything is allowed. And if some think that just because the gun weighs 70 pounds and you think its therefor easy to shoot groups like Joel…just go ahead and try this yourself. I personally know the guy, the gun design is borderline genius.

Wow! A most impressive accomplishment. I tried the BR route 30 years ago and had my pants beat off by some of the smartest tech heads of their day. The technology for these extreme distances is a science and make no mistake about it, this record was earned and deserved by someone who envisioned perfection. The future will hold even tighter groups at even more extreme distances . The rail guns are coming and the Aussies claim bug holes at 2000 meters and more. The object of target shooting is sending a piece of metal to an intended point better than anyone else. After all what fun would we have if we were still shooting flintlocks.

I’d say try shooting in a tunnel and beat the 3″ group. That’s pretty neat.

There should be two separate classes One for Super High tech shooters such as this one and a class for hunting guns — This is quite an achievement for Mr. Pendergraft and not many will ever see themselves shoot like this — I have a friend who shoots a five shot group into a four inch circle with a Savage target rifle — I am getting ready to put my 300 WM to the test — It will be a while but I’ll get it there —
