Post by: Scotchmo on November 07, 2017, 01:49:31 AM
in AAFTA history. Not only did he win his Division, he had the overall match high score, beating out all other Divisions. That was a first. I'd say it was the toughest course of all five AAFTA Nationals that I have attended. Big congratulations again to Scott Schneider (Motorhead).

Post by: DFWdude on November 07, 2017, 10:50:13 PM
Shooting high score of the match is normal for an Open Class or WFTF shooter.  But it's not (regularly) natural for a Hunter PCP shooter, especially at the National Match.

So...

Congrats to Scott S. (Motorhead)  for posting the match high 106/120 at the Nationals this year, besting ALL other shooters in all other divisions.  Truly an other-worldly performance.

Hat's off to you, Scott!

I don't know much about the competition, what was the format and gun used?

Great shooting and way to show those fools 16x is not needed. Will you be making your way to the east coast next year to defend your title? I would feel slighted if not ;)
Title: Re: Congratulations to Motörhead Scott our National Champion!
Post by: Motorhead on November 07, 2017, 11:57:37 PM
Whoa is right  ...  what a range of emotions these past couple days.
In retrospect it was blast starting at sight in range meeting folks from around the Country, Puerto Rico & Venezuela.  People in the Air gun sports are the BEST being all so similar in a great attitude.
This being my first nationals simply because it was close enough to attend tho still a 1800 mile journey over the 6 days invested Driving too, Lodging & Site trips and getting Back home.

Field target ... that fringe area so many who shoot air rifles simply know little of or have tried, is ..... IMO so satisfying being the equivalent of 1000 yard center fire with a pellet gun !

THANK YOU for the kudo's, it is heart felt  :-*

Bob,
Not sure why, but it looks like all congratulations for Motorhead are getting combined into a single thread in the GTA Announcement Gate. Your original post was not deleted, but it was moved:

Congratulations partner, I always knew you had it in you. You created a rifle that was capable of the task at hand and then you led it through its paces. Your performance on Saturday was unworldly, you buried the best shooters in the country. You had to have been there to appreciate what you accomplished, it doen't get any better.

Mission accomplished.

Ah, I see it there now.  Thanks, Scott.  Great it's on a forum that no one reads (I did not know it existed, at least).

Maybe after all is forgotten, the whole thread will be moved to the FT Gate where it will occasionally be seen and appreciated.

Don't mind me.  I'm just an old forum Admin with questions.

Looks like all your years hard work and tuning paid off.   Field target looks like it would be a blast. 
Maybe put up a post showing the gun you used, scope, pellets etc.   I'd like to learn more.

From there most of the internals have been changed out for custom parts that I made in house over the last couple years of R&D working with the gun. "Motorheads AG Tuning services"   ;)
Custom valve, Custom hammer, Custom SSG spring devise, Custom "Cobra" mod, Custom trigger blade, Reworked regulator, HW barrel in .20 cal fitted & prepped in house fitted with a Custom LDC.

Amazing job Scott.  We are all so proud of you. 
The fact that your score was higher than all the other match classes to me means that you could have probably won all the classes if you could compete in all of them.  That is nothing short of extraordinary.  A very well deserved championship win.  CONGRATS!!
