A local area young lady shooting her fancy air rifle. And yep she is a national champion. And man I thought I had hung the moon when I got a Red Ryder BB Gun. Times have changed.

What with the fancy jacket? That jacket probably cost some serious bucks. Just like competition long range firearm shooters , the jacket is designed in many ways to give you an edge. May not look it , but I bet there is a lot of science that went into that jacket.

What with the fancy jacket? It has all kinds of designed supports for the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and back. Maybe they call it ergonomics ?

all about further steadying your shot.
a 10 meter air rifle target the x ring isn't a ring it is a dot about as small as a pencil lead in a mechanical pencil you have to remove it with a .177 pellet.
i have a few friends that run coats they consistently shoot distinguished scores falling 1-4 points short of perfect
when you get to the competitive levels like that the difference between one shooter and the next may be 1-2X
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

There appears to be a tripod there as well. I think the tripod is there to place the rifle on when not shooting. JMO

That is an ammo stand for holding the pellets and as a rest for sitting the gun on between shots. Precision air rifles with sights cost around $5000. The shooting jacket and pants are $2000-$3000. Then there are $300 boots. Smallbore shooters need another rifle with more equipment for shooting 3 position competition. In all, it takes about $12500 to be properly equipped.

Thanks for the info cwilson. I know she shoots three position air and I think that is all. She does not use a tripod.
This is an article from 2017 when she was still in high school.
"In a remarkable performance at the 2017 CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Regional Championships, Kristen Hemphill, 17, of TX Hill Country Shooting Club, fired a new standing National Record score of 200-19X. To put it in perspective, she hit the X-ring, which is roughly the size of the head of a pin, 19 out of a possible 20 times in a row. That same day, she mirrored her standing score by firing a prone score of 200-19X."
I don't know what her kneeling score was.
She now shoots for TCU and is studying to be a nurse. She was the 2019 NCAA Air Rifle Champion.

There are two kinds of PCP airguns, one that leaks air and one that's about to leak air.
