Grandpamac.

That would've been Brenda McFetridge. She must have been having a bad day. Brenda is a member of the NZDA Hall of Fame and has been a virtually unbeatable competitor in scoped rifle 4P for the last 25 years. When watching her in the standing position her barrel movement is less than almost everyone else's in the prone position.

At a local NZDA shoot recently Brenda shot a 50/50 in .22RF standing. Slightly windy too. It's harder to shoot a top .22LR score standing than with a centrefire because of the longer time the bullet is in the barrel and if any wind is present then it can really play havoc with the slow moving .22LR bullet.
