EBR 2019 Daystate Winners
Daystate rifles were by far the shooters choice at the 2019 Extreme Bench Rest with the RedWolf by far the most popular choice and a number of notable wins to the company’s flagship air rifles credit. For the First time the RedWolf Safari and RedWolf Midnight were present, and the addition of blue and brown colours made a change to the sea of red stocks seen at last year’s event!

Competitions such as the EBR are as much a four day social-gathering for shooters as anything else, a chance to shoot pretty much every top rifle shoot everything from Field Target to pistol shooting, meet friends, as well as some of the better known journalist and even some representatives from manufacturers with notable’s as the Daystate owner Mauro Marocchi and Frank Walther from Lothar Walther barrels attending this year.
But while we are talking about victory’s, Daystate did not leave without notable success;
For example, on the first day of the match was the Extreme FT event, that has a heavily bias to high powered rifles, Daystate took 6 out of the top 8 places with the winner being John Bagakis with Garret Thomas winning the Junior class,
Another prestigious award is the one-gun challenge where a shooter is only eligible if he uses the same rifle in multiple disciplines across the EBR match. This year’s winner was Alan Scoles, with third place also being taken with another RedWolf in the hands of Veteran shooter Bobby Corcorran.
Speed Silhouette was hotly contested by all makes, Tom Adams took top place in the professional class with John Bagakis taking second place in the Open Class.
Over at the Extreme Benchrest itself, second and third positions in sportsman class were taken by Chuck Misenheimer and Dave Corder. While Junior class was won by Sebastian Lopez who also managed a second in the 50 yard bench rest on the Saturday.

Tom Adams wins Extreme Bench Rest Speed Silhouette Pro Class!
In a stunning display of speed and fast shooting, Daystate Wolf pack member Tom Adams, who you may remember was our top-tip to win this match, just pipped fellow team member Sabastian Lopez to top honours in Sundays finals.
The match was the scene of high drama as Tom Adams fought tooth and nail with Sebastian Lopez. In fact, Tom’s time was shorter than Sebastian’s by just 1/100th of a second!
As a gesture of pure sportsmanship Tom shared the $,1000 prize with Junior-shooter Sabastian and in a further sporting gesture, Daystate owner Mauro Marocchi also chipped in to gift Sebastian a Brocock Concept Lite in recognition of his fantastic effort.
The EBR 100 yard match was won by Nikolay Boldov from Russia.
