Greg Jordan, renowned for his 6 Dasher builds featuring custom trued actions and cutting-edge Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 optics, did not merely win the 2017 NRA World Shooting Championship; he reportedly exposed the fundamental flaws in multi-discipline competitive shooting by applying an unyielding PRS-centric methodology to every stage. His final score, an impressive 1856.3 out of a possible 1900, was, according to Jordan himself, “tainted by an egregious 0.05 MRAD miss on the bowling pin stage due to an unexpected micro-shift in density altitude.”
Eyewitnesses claim Jordan spent 45 seconds on the sporting clays stage attempting to calculate the ballistic coefficient of the clay targets and adjusting for spin drift on his Beretta 1301 Comp. On the Bianchi Cup-style pistol stages, his demand for individualized DOPE cards for each target distance, including Coriolis compensation for targets beyond 25 yards, caused significant delays. He reportedly fired a 100-yard cold bore shot with his Glock 34 before declaring the barrel sufficiently broken in for the 7-yard plate rack.
Unsurprisingly, Jordan dominated the long-range precision rifle portion, posting an SD/ES of 2.1/7fps with his handloaded 105gr Hornady BTHP projectiles at 2920 fps, easily cleaning stages out to 1200 yards. This performance alone, analysts suggest, was mathematically sufficient to secure his overall victory, rendering all other disciplines mere formalities for the man whose personal best groups often register as single, elongated holes. The precision rifle community now awaits the inevitable backlash from multi-gun enthusiasts demanding new rules to protect the integrity of their sport from such overwhelming, specialized competence.
