    I haven't really given that much tought. The stickers are horribly expensive to produce, and it is impossible to show your current form as you never are better than your next shot. The interest exploded here in Norway, and when I get a more accurate number on how many can be expected to qualify for ELITE, at least that patch will have the year of the test recessed into it. It currently has no year.

    That patch looks great. I love the whole mentality behind this. My steel target is hopefully to be erected this weekend. I'll be back!!

    I was at the top for almost a full week and managed that achievement by not shooting the test again
    Future patches will be marked with the year you qualify. It is after all a physical recognition of your achievement.

    No critic so harsh as yourself @Norway. Still a kill shot.

    By all means, very happy with the shooting lately. It can be described as "steady" and my physical handicap seems to have upped my technical skill.

    Cheers Chris
    @Norway, @ChrisF is this the bipod you are using?
    RPS bipod, RPS tofot | www.Rifle–Precision–System.com

    Here i was hoping it would be real similar to the TRG bipod... i was not hoping it would be about the same price as a TRG bipod!!!

    Google translate says:

    NEW SUPPLY STOCK ARRIVED TODAY! (06/13/2014)

    SENT OUT DURING MONDAY TUESDAY (16-17.06.2014)

    This bipod is designed for the discerning shooter that puts bipod high on the list of the things that must be the best of the best.

    Bipod is a TRG style bipod with the support of Versapod pin

    It is made with a view to get the lowest possible center of gravity down.
    It should also be removed quickly and installed quickly, this is done with a push of the front trigger (trigger need not pressed when properly installed, then it is just and sliding it)

    The difference between this bipod and "many" others is that it is composed of welded parts in the most critical components.

    The bones of bipod is machined in a piece of and the most robust.
    The smaller joints welded the better it is.

    Bipod feet can be indexed 90 ° each way.

    Bipod will never collapse during shooting, no matter what caliber you have to use it (it has pøvd!)

    There will be rubber inserts for paws to bipod eventually.
    This is shooting on hard surfaces.

    The "feet" on bipod legs are made ​​for and seize stuck in loose ground.
    It is also designed so that it will not be able to soak in a little softer surfaces like eg moss and peat.

    Bipod is Made of AISI 4140.
    It is coated with manganese phosphate.

    The kit consists of:

    1 Pc bipod
    1 Pc pod stick

    That's a brilliant shot by any standard! Roughly 8 cm or 4 fingers width away from dead center at that range is stunning performance.
