I shot the HBR (6 power) guns for quite a few years...winning two IBS National Championships along the way.

The thing that people don't realize is that while you give up the precise holding of a high powered scope, the large field of view with a 6X scope allows a competitor to see all the wind flags through the scope....which is a huge advantage over the 'big' scopes where you have to watch most of the flags with your 'off' eye.

The round target also lends itself well to lower powered scopes. Good HBR shooters can shoot sub .250 five shot groups at 100 yards in decent conditions.

Good shootin' -Al
