Huber Triggers take top honors in competition shoot!

John F. Huber

Cast Bullet Association and Hawkeye Rifle & Pistol Club
 hosted the National Match Tournament, located adjacent to SIOUX Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa on June 9-10, 2007.

   29 shooters from as far away as Seattle,WA and San Mateo,CA competed with service rifles, loading cast bullets to challenge the wind for score and accuracy. 

Service rifles used for their inherent accuracy are Springfield 1903/03A3, Swiss K-31 , Mausers, Enfield & SMLE, Mosin-Nagant and a Vetterli .41 Swiss.

   Notable champion shooters- Scott Merchant, Wallace Enga, “Doc” Nelson, Larry Rickertsen & Tom Acheson set a total of 16 new National Match Records over the weekend of  precision shooting.

   John F. Huber, owner of Huber Concepts,  came from Fond du Lac,WI.  Huber manufactures patented rifle triggers for these rifles, and was invited as commercial & technical support.  He subsequently entered the competition using Scott Merchant’s rifle from last season.  John hasn’t shot competitively in 15-20 years, but his performance (2 medals for 2^nd-offhand 100yds & 3^rd  for 200yd aggregate score) indicated he’d put in quality trigger time in the past. He noted that numerous of the days’ records established were directly attributed to using the Huber-Ball triggers in these rifles.  A half dozen triggers were installed at the match and quickly resulted in improved performance and medals for these shooters.
