What a year !!!
2018 NRA ELR National Champion
2018 King of 2 mile 3rd place finish and 2nd round impact at 2 miles.
2019 3.4 mile Exhibition Shot on a 32x48 plate.
2019 king of 2 mile Champion, 3rd and 4th.
2019 king of 2 mile France 2nd place
2019 NRA ELR light Champion rifle, load and ballistics. Ray Gross guest shooter
2019 NRA ELR heavy Championship spotter for David Tubb shooting
2019 4.01 mile Exhibition shot on 1 moa square plate.
This 4.01 mile shot was the cap of a great year for Team GPG.
Team GPG accomplished a goal of shooting 7070 yards or 4.01 miles in the Nevada desert this past weekend.
The goal was to see how far we can push the limits and learn how to shoot ELR better. We learned a ton and have so much information and video to share. The biggest surprise was how quickly we made impact. It took 69 shots to make an impact inside a 1 moa square plate at 4 miles. This took a little longer then our 3.4 mile shot, but 4 miles is a long ways and we needed more shots to figure things out.
The other surprise was once we had a zero, we were able to put a cold bore shot within 10-15 feet on the second day. After this initial cold bore shot we were able to keep our group centered within 3-5 moa from the plate with 20-30 shots. We have a lot of video to edit and will have more details of the exact number of shots, group sizes and time of flight soon. I think anyone in the ELR community will be impressed with the videos and data that we were able to obtain.
This was a team effort and we would like to recognize everyone that helped make this goal happen. We could have not accomplished this without everyone helping out.

The 4 mile shot...
We had been shooting 20-25 round strings throughout the first day. On the third and last string James Devoglaer took his turn behind his new Team GPG spec 416 Barrett rifle. It didn’t take long for us to get James centered up around the plate. We all felt something great was going to happen. Until we heard the clang and forward observers yell, “impact”. We all celebrated with joy. Make no mistake. We needed the help of our forward observers, super camera, wind coaches and velocities, to be successful making impact on our 69th shot. It was all captured on HD cameras on the firing line and at the target. History was made!
