I started the 2016 Precision Rifle Series (PRS) season as the newest team member of G.A. Precision. Joining Team GAP was, in itself, a definite highlight for me. I started my first full season shooting precision rifle competitions in 2013 and joined the PRS in 2014. During the first few years, I always admired G.A. Precision and their roster of shooters. Every chance I could, I would get on a squad that had a Team GAP shooter on it. I wanted to be a great shooter, so I wanted to watch exactly how these guys approached a stage and shot. I really learned alot by doing this, plus picking their brains always helped! Fast forward a few years, many matches later and here I am. To say I was ecstatic when George Gardner asked me to be a part of his team, would be an understatement!
George and his team of builders built me a custom 6mmCreedmoor with Templar VII action in a Manners Stock. I was super excited as I knew the 6mmCreedmoor would be an even more competitive round in the field. With muzzle velocity around 3050fps, I was stoked! This rifle is definitely a laser beam when shooting. I have been super pleased with the performance this past year.
I met with Tom Manners of Manners Stocks at SHOT Show 2016 and he helped me pick out the perfect stock. I fondly named my rifle “Blackwidow” because the paint scheme on it reminded me of spider webs due to the red streaks. Plus, I think a Blackwidow is someone you don’t want to mess with cause she is deadly 😉 Also part of my build is a 25″ Bartlein barrel, APA Little Bastard brake, and a Timney Trigger. On top of this beautiful rifle, is my Bushnell Elite XRS 4.5-30. For the 2017 shooting season, I placed a new Bushnell XRS2 4.5×30 on top of the Blackwidow. Can we say sexy?! I have been a huge fan of Bushnell’s Elite XRS scope for many years and am overjoyed to be running the new XRS2 this season.
With shooting a 6mmCreedmoor, I needed to reload. I use RCBS for all my reloading equipment needs. My ammunition has consisted of Hornady brass, TulAmmo large rifle primers, Hodgdon 4350 powder and Berger Bullets 105gr Hybrid. I got into reloading so much, that I told my Husband that my rounds were off limits to him! And once I had my ammo loaded, I would tape up the boxes so Jim couldn’t mess with them!
