J.D.

I received the ABR over the weekend, and this thing is a piece of art. I can't believe how rock solid and smooth it is. I did get it mounted up, which was a piece of cake, and the directions were easy to follow. I'm still waiting on the limbsaver pad, and a proper bag to use it with which will both be here next week.

I'm actually very new to shooting and just do some casual target shooting. I'd like to potentially get into competing in the future. I'm shooting 6.5C. I did take it out for a quick test minus the new recoil plate and properly sized bag.

I had an Accu-shot monopod I had been using and it was immediately noticeable how much more stable the ABR was. Zero wobble with the ABR. I shot 2 three shot groups, and they were each the best I'd ever done by some margin. About 1" was quite typical before, and these were both under 1/2". I've attached a few pictures.

Let me get back to you with my complete thoughts once I get the rest of what I'm waiting for, and get back out for a final impression. I can get you some additional pics of my setup and such. Already super impressed though, and can't wait to get back out.

“I'm super happy with the ABR. Compared to my accushot monopod, that thing is solid as a rock. I'm still using it with one of the cheap caldwell v-bags, but even so my average group @100 went from an inch or so, down to 0.5" or a touch under for 5 shot groups. To be honest, I'm not sure there's anything I would recommend changing. I think it's great as is, certainly the single most helpful upgrade I've made. I can't believe I don't see more RPR guys running them.

Thanks again!”
