There is a smile that will never go away. To travel thousands of miles and come away the champion is difficult for me to imagine. Congratulations to Eric and Team USA.
Congratulations Erik, you have obviously elevated yourself to another level. Thank you for your willingness to share and teach others. Your years of knowledge are irreplaceable.
I was watching this video in my car and no one could see me, but my smile was as big as yours. So happy for you and congratulations. What a wonderful honor.
A true champion, honest, humble, and giving back to the community that you love ,and we love you for it . God bless you and your family for supporting your quest for greatness 🙏
EC, I had one hundred percent faith that you could pull it off. You are extremely knowledgeable, confident and humble at the same time. The shooters that you are surrounded with are the luckiest competitors on the planet. I hope they think God often to have a mentor like you. Wish I was in the same boat. Safe travels, God bless.
Well Done!!! Erik, I had no doubt that you would represent our team well. As a teacher sharing your experience has made me better as a student shooter. My respect for you over the top.
Erik, When you saw that chair for the first time, deep down inside you knew and said "Dang, I'm going to look good in that chair". Congrats, keep them coming.
Congratulations man. To perform amongst your peers at that level must have been an awesome experience. Enjoy it. Moments like that don't come along often enough in this life
Awesome!!! So happy for you, and for Team USA!! I knew when you said in a video several months ago, you were dedicating all your time to getting ready for Nationals you were gonna do well. So glad your dedication paid off! Now you need a game of pool to relax!
Congratulations Erik! I dont shoot any type of matches but i love following along and learning feom your videos. Thanks for the all that you share with us.
Congratulations champ! What an extreme personal victory and proud you represent the red white and blue! Hats off to you and your team. Your sacrifices do not go unappreciated. All hail Erik!!!
Wow, congratulations on your win, Erik. 👍🏼 That was really cool to be carried in that chair by your fellow competitors and had to be an incredible feeling! Enjoyed the footage; thanks for sharing.
Great shooting Erik! The 'chairing' of the winner comes from the UK and takes place after the final results are tabulated on the range from the winner of the King/Queen’s Prize at Bisley, UK at the end of the Open Sight Sling Shooting Meeting (aka Imperial Meeting) at the end of July. Several videos of it on YT and you get chaired off behind a marching band to complete the formalities in the NRA of UK Main Office.
Congratulations Eric! Great feeling to ride that chair at the world renowned De Brug Shooting Range in Bloemfontein. Great place and awesome local people.
Congrats Erik, Good job! Many people may argue about a lot of things but they can't argue with your accomplishments! Winning SWN and the South Africa Champs back to back cements your legacy. Enjoy that victory glow.
Way to go Dr. C!! We all knew you could do it!! Harvard University looks for young leaders who make everyone around them better. I think they missed you back in the day but it’s a win for your rifle community who you make better every day. One more to go Dr. We believe!! Van Halen’s song Right Now should be playing in your head Get em brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this man. His tuner brake, videos, and willingness to share knowledge are the reason I started and still enjoy shooting so much. I got one of the original tuner brakes made before he had his own machine. I'm gonna get one of the Black Nitride ones from him as soon as I can. If you haven't looked at his stuff I cant recommend it any higher.
So happy for you Erik! It could not happen to a better guy as you are so deserving! Thanks for all the advice you so unselfishly share with all of us. Unbelievable shooting and congrats man.
I wish you guys got more recognition for all your efforts. You guys have all that all that work to do on top of your regular jobs. Congrats on the win.
You can be roughing in big ass conduits or winning national championships and every time I lean back at the end with a big ole smile on my face. Congrats and thanks so much for taking us along. SWN was no flash in the pan!
Sounds like you may win everything this year. GITER DONE.. CONGRATS Looks like a awesome time the memories will live forever. I'm glad they didn't drop you .
Outstanding Congratulations Champ! I love that feeling, finishing a stage of fire and knowing you just shot a great score without even looking. You knew it and your body language showed it!
Hey man, two in a year; what an accomplishment! As a newbie to reloading I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your Believe the Target series especially with Dan Newberry and Chris Long. Also being an engineer, I appreciate all the effort that Chris put into his modeling and Dan's "experimental work" on developing the OCW method. It is interesting how these two ideas come together so well. I was also floored when Chris Neary said that the seating depth node was around 6K and you "threw up you hands and grinned real wide" since that is what you preach in "Quit Chasing the Lands". Thanks again for putting this out here for us!
I am so happy for you Erik amazing job!
Thank you for everything you share with us and all the time you put into teaching the community.
You are so welcome!
There is a smile that will never go away. To travel thousands of miles and come away the champion is difficult for me to imagine. Congratulations to Eric and Team USA.
