Interview with Pieter:
How long have you been shooting Extreme Long Range?
5 Years
What drew you to Extreme Long Range competitive shooting?
The Challenge . And great friends having fun shooting together
What drew you to Cutting Edge Bullets and how did you hear about us?
Seeing the top 10 results in many ELR comps using 400gr CE Lazers convinced me
Yes……the CONSISTANCY (BC) in CE bullets
In your opinion, what is the biggest difference between monolithic bullets and lead core bullets that you’ve experienced while shooting?
Never shot lead core bullets…got a 7 twist barrel which is suited for monolithics. I know that the lead core bullets makes a much more visible splash on steelplatesWhat are your goals for the 2024 season?
Just to ENJOY shooting with my friends, having FUN and try to improve every time on my previous score
