EBR 2023

[AtlasAirguns]

Just wanted to get a census on who is going whether competing or spectating. I will be there Oct 1- 8th, and hoping to say hi to friends and make new ones. I am not competing but I love to watch and learn. Who is coming?

Spectating, I hate losing

From another forum i follow i understand that most average guys that go will be spectating as there was no notification that registration was open and was closed in minutes as it was mostly filled with pros youtubers and eft competitors

If you read through the whole thread , I don't think that's the case, I believe the eft grand prix was reserved but the rest of the events were open to public from the get go, I saw a few notifications , unfortunately, agn doesn't allow AOA to post and agn up until now (because HAM IS HERE) was the biggest place for airgun discussion.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken but this is how I saw it.

I still think what i said was basically accurate eft gp were in before there was any notification reg was open and it was filled ( if i remember there was 80 open spots that filled very quickly) so there were a lot of people that never even had a chance some of which had done well in last years event!

Unfortunately in all my keyboard motions I didn't see that I had already started the exact same thread last week. Sorry about that Stephen. But redundancy can be an art!

There was notification, just not on AGN. Also, the grand prix event, which is constituted by regular shooters, took up half the shots. They earned their pre-qualification by competing towards EBR at the grand prix. I do believe AoA will be changing it a bit next year but @AOA ROB or @Centercut would be able to speak to those potential changes better. From my understanding, it looks like there will be more "regular" shooters than ever before because of that grand prix, and certainly as diverse as ever and much more so than others. As for it only being Pros and YouTubers, yes Pros do make a point to shoot the Pro division, it is their hobby after all. As for YouTubers, I don't think any serious YouTuber is competing, but I could be wrong.

Ultimately there is high demand and limited spots so some will not get in. Hope that answers your post more thoroughly.

I was at EBR in 2022 and I really enjoyed it

Meeting up with a lot of people and finally speaking face to face was so great !

Yes, because of the EFT growing and having six GPs next year, just shooting in an EFT GP won’t get you an early sign up for EBR. We have numerous options like saying the top 5 finishers at each event or 25%, whichever is more. But we haven’t decided yet. What we do know is that it’ll be different, and improved from this year.

One of the pros was banned.....due to the country he was from

Last year I believe that Nicolai was not registered for EBR 2022 He ended up getting the spot that Justin Jacobsen from Utah Airguns had for himself

 

[CTAirgunner]

Has anyone called the range to ask if this is true? Or are we going to only have information from biased sources?

This is in regards to the Russbear thing.

Gentlemen, I'm going to close this thread as we're veering into what could rapidly become a political discussion. Thanks for your understanding.
