Robert Brantley

My name is Robert Brantley and I have been obsessed with precision rifle since 2007. In that time I have used it for both hunting and competition. I have shot benchrest, F-Class, PRS, ELR, NRL hunter, and field matches. In the last several years I have really focussed on the PRS, ELR, and NRL Hunter. I really enjoy the community as well as the sport.

In my time I have worked on improving myself to take it as high as I can. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon and this year is scheduled to be as busy as any while shooting 4 different series.

Some of my past accomplishments are:

2018 PRS Finale 7th

2018 King of 2 Mile 1st

2019 Accuracy Int Long Range Classic 5th

2019 Kestrel Fall Classic 7th

2019 Alabama Precision Long Range Challenge 5th

2019  PRS Top 10 in the series.

2019 PRS Finale 5th place

2019 King of 2 Mile 2nd

2020 Vapor Trail Bullet Siege 4th

2020 Federal Gold Medal Match 4th

2020 Bushnell/GAP Grind 5th

2020 Kestrel Fall Classic 7th

2020 PRS Finale 13th

2021 Accuracy Int Long Range Classic 9th

2021 Alabama Precision Long Range Classic 3rd

2021 Punisher Positional 5th

2021 Bushnell/GAP Grind 7th

2021 MPA Fall Shootout 10th

There have been some top 10 ELR finishes as well but I don’t remember the specifics.

All but 2-3 of those are with handloaded ammo. 100% of all my handloads are done with Hodgdon brands. Varget and H-4350 are the go to but since I’ve been running some IMR Enduron powders that seem to work very good as well. I shot a lot of Sta-Ball 6.5 and it worked well beyond expectations. This year my NRL Hunter has been with H-1000 and it’s incredible!

All of our ELR rifles run off H-50BMG.

Brian Neace

Brian Neace grew up in Southern Idaho in the Snake River Plain, surrounded by miles and miles of high desert to the north and bordered on the south by public wilderness.  Growing up, Brian spent very little time indoors, with his passions being split between baseball and spending time in either the river, the desert, or the mountains.

Baseball won over for a time when it took him to Gonzaga University on scholarship as a pitcher for the Bulldogs.  Brian spent three years in Spokane as a Zag until his baseball career was cut short by a tragic plane accident that took the lives of his parents and younger sister. Brian moved back to Idaho, where he completed his bachelor¹s degree in Business Finance at Albertson¹s College of Idaho.  Later, he started a granite countertop business allows him the time to pursue his passion for long-range shooting and high-country public land mule deer and elk hunting.

The terrain in Southern Idaho often requires a hunter to be able to take shots at 400 yards and well beyond.  The desire to know, when, how, and if he should take these shots along with an unquenched thirst for competition, lead Brian to shoot precision rifle events. In Brian¹s first full season, he achieved several top ten finishes, two regional match wins, and a 20^th place overall finish in the National Rifle League.

Brian now competes in both the PRS and NRL Pro series. Just In the 2019 season, he will compete in twelve two-day national matches and 15 regional matches across the country, totaling 4,170 precision hand-loaded match rounds burning roughly 131,355 grains (18.75 pounds) of Varget in matches alone.  Doubling that will come close to including practice rounds spent at his one-of-a-kind shooting range he built on the edge of the Snake River Canyon.  Snake River PRS club has become his pride and joy with a dedication to growing the sport by recruiting and supporting new and youth shooters.

Ryan Muller

After graduating college, Ryan moved to Tulsa, OK to take a position as a plastics engineer and in 2011 began shooting 3-Gun competitively.

In 2015, Ryan and Dianna traveled to over 36 events across the world, including Italy and New Zealand. You can find Ryan on ‘Shooting Gallery’ on The Outdoor Channel, and ‘Realtree.com’.
