At the start with the best material
The Haenel CR also has many friends among sport shooters. The successful Frankonia Shooting Team (Steven Kummer, Arne Lentz, Jörg Haben and Nils Nothnagel), for example, has chosen a competition version of the Haenel CR233 as its sporting equipment for entry into the IPSC disciplines. The optics for the CR223 come from Steiner, the Swiss silencer and interface specialist B&T helps with the adaptation of ergonomics and suppressor, EAW contributes the mounts for the target optics and Sellier & Bellot the ammunition. The picture shows Nils Nothnagel trying out the new competition rifle for the first time.
Target focus
In dynamic shooting IPSC, it is not only precision that counts, but also a lot of intuition. For this, the rifle must be optimally adapted to the athlete. The CR223 can be equipped very individually due to its high compatibility with AR15 standards. The handling of the self-loading rifles – so tuned – passes into the muscle memory of the athletes over time – the rest is purely a matter of the head.
Down to the details
