As multiple-time regional champion of a hunting rifle shooting competition and two-time German junior champion at the F.I.T.A.S.C Sporting competition, Robin Marx is without doubt up there as one of the most seasoned sport hunters. The fact that he wanted to make the attempt with his Bockdrilling under simulated conditions, rather than at an official competition, is of course more than understandable. After all, as a sport hunter you should be committed to your team and always have the best possible results in sight. As it happens, the lack of a second shotgun barrel disqualified the BD14 from the genuine competition anyway.

Jagd & Jäger
On unfamiliar terrain
Shooting competitions that follow the German Hunting Association’s guidelines are staged with two types of weapons – rifles and shotguns. Robin Marx, Head of Product Management at Blaser, conducted an experiment by entering all disciplines with one single weapon: his own Blaser Bockdrilling BD 14. The outcome utterly astounded everyone involved.

Mit dem BD14 sind natürlich
keine Doubletten möglich. Die Wurfscheiben
wurden deshalb einzeln
beschossen
Der Schuss über
Kimme und Korn
ist beim Skeet sehr
ungewohnt
In Balance und Führigkeit unterscheidet sich der BD14 kaum von einer guten Flinte.
A great score in the Groß Gold with just one weapon, the Bockdrilling BD14. What an exciting experiment!
Beim nachgestellten Wettbewerb kamen also keine Doubletten in Frage, die Wurfscheiben mussten stattdessen einzeln beschossen werden. Einen Vorteil stellte dies dennoch nicht dar. Im Gegenteil, stand doch bei allen Einzeltauben jeweils nur ein Schuss zur Verfügung.
If you can use your BD14 like a seasoned pro when hunting, you will manage standing without support, standing leaning against a tree and in the lying shooting position required at the shooting range.
At the end of the day, Robin Marx ought to be congratulated for the result he achieved with the BD14. He scored 324 points, which would have earned him the “Sonderstufe 1 / S1” shooting pin badge at the Groß Gold competition. This just goes to show the BD14 can be used universally and achieve precision despite its three completely different calibres.
