Extreme Benchrest Nov 5, 2011 - Air Rifle Competition by Airguns of Arizona and Pheonix Airgun

Highlights from my trip to Phoenix Arizona (from my perspective). It goes without saying that I had an absolute blast, and I am certain to return if the organizers (AoA and Phoenix Airgun) take it upon themselves to put on this show again. I would have liked to mention everyone by name - especially the guys who put in tireless hours to make this event happen. But, in the end, I decided that discretion is best, so I kept everyone's identity to first names only.

There was also a MASSIVE raffle. I bought a mess of tickets, but I didn't win anything. I remember Marauder and Sumatra air rifles - a Shoebox Compressor - guns cases - shooting mats - gear bags - tank covers - and a ton of other great stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't film any of that raffle drawing because my camera battery died, and I was shoveling Pizza in my face (like everyone else - except maybe Luiz). :) The one thing I do remember is a young man winning a Sumatra .22 AND the Shoebox compressor (and maybe a tank, too). We were all smiling at his good fortune. I managed to capture one photo of him and his mother (and Luiz) accepting the gun. It is towards the end of the video.

Huge Thank You to the boys at AoA and Phoenix Airgun for all the late nights they spent putting together that incredible day, as well as the cornucopia of prizes donated by the sponsors. ted.

hi ted i watch ur vidioes all the time. i live in nc and family r real hunting family. do u hunt with out airguns

[EdgunUSA]

@adamowendiego20 Yes - a lot! I own rimfires, centerfires, and shotguns. I may bring those guns into my channel eventually. But, for now, I stick with airguns. 

[EdgunUSA]

@MacDonaldSeumas I own (and shoot) many pb's - shotguns, centerfires, and rimfires. I just keep this channel to airgunning because the scopecam does not work well on guns that have fast bullets and high recoil. But, I'm considering branching this channel out a little... I have some ideas. :)

Another interesting and entertaining video. Congratulations on your winning 3rd place!

[lgustafson15]

[FreemanVLD]

Hey Ted! These are awesome videos you made there! Why don't you check out my short video on one of the monthly air rifle competitions held here in Russia, the city of Vladivostok.

[fhcsniper11]

U should make another video on an air gun competitions

[PinkOld]

Great video, as always, Ted.

I understand you believe you might have done a bit better with that Daystate, but it sure would have been cool to see how your bullpup EdGun would have done next to all those other high dollar shooting irons.

[zapteur3]

@EdgunUSA Hi Ted, im a real big fan of your videos. Is there any chance that you know what kind of first airgun I counld buy, im a starter and not a airgun that is only in USA because im in Quebec(Canada) Plz write back

[007Weeman]

Congratz on your 3rd place

[tilt909sb]

You probably would have got first if you had your gun, but hey 3rd is good congrats.

[srspower]

@EdgunUSA

The Ruger 10 22 would be a good one to cover for your UK audience, as it's the only type of semi auto rifle we can get here.

Do you live in AZ?
