World WRABF Champion and a World Record
BRK Team Shooter, Fady Kiwan has dominated the Benchrest Rimfire and Air Rifle World Championships held in Plzen, Czech Republic, winning two world titles and setting a record score with his BRK Ghost Air Rifle.
The competition, which is sanctioned by the World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Federation (WRABF) and European Rimfire & Air Rifle Benchrest Shooting Federation (ERABS) saw 237 competitors from 23 countries take part in a range of events between July 26 and August 4.
Fady competed in the Light Varmint 25 metres, Heavy Varmint 25 metres and Unlimited at 50 metres categories. Unlike most other shooters who used highly specialised custom rifles, Fadyused a standard BRK Ghost, only swapping between 17” and 28” barrels and .177 and .22 calibres – a process that takes just a few minutes.
A score of 725.21 points was not only good enough to win the 50m Unlimited world title but set a new record of 247/250 in the process. In addition, he went on to be crowned World Champion in the Three Gun category from his total scores in Light Varmint, Heavy Varmint and 50m unlimited all with the same Ghost.
