Francis, That's the way I scheduled it back in January. (Ya right) Anyway, the grass is cut, the targets are ready and Dale marked the back drive area with red flags that is still a little wet. Safe travels for everyone going to and from a match this Holiday weekend.

Countdown to Saturday July 1 for our next 100 yard Score Match at the Iosco Sportsmen's Club in East Tawas, Michigan. We are located on the shores of Lake Huron. Custom, Factory and Factory modified classes, certificate to the winner in each class. Cost is $10.00 Gates open at 8am match...

Yesterday we completed our second 100 Yard Score Match of the season. The weather was mild, the winds were fairly calm, everything was in place for a trigger pulling contest. So where did all the problems with vertical come from? Something in the air for sure. Here are the results.

It's been a busy summer so far and this one snuck up on me. The next Benchrest Score match is tomorrow at the east Tawas range in North East Michigan. We are located on N. U.S.23, gates open at 8, match starts at 10am. VFS, Factory and Factory Modified classes, certificate to the winner. Cost...

Just my own narrative on that question. Several years ago when just about everything shooting related was unavailable, the custom bullet makers couldn't get jackets to make bullets. I had been using the customs in my competition guns and also trying out the Sierras as well. Not wanting to run...

It is sure going to be tough to miss those donuts, but I am manning the Tawas range this weekend and i'm not much of a group shooter. I'll be front and center at your next Score match. See you then.

My apoligies, kkuperman is closer. We have a "verifier" target on our 600 yard range that is 50 yards out. When i shoot on that my bullet hits at the 14 inch mark. When i shoot with a 600 yard zero on the 100 yard range i print at 12 3/8 inches. That is with a 6BR and 105's

Jackie, you need to be at about 14 inches to be on paper at 600 yards. So, you need another 12 inches of elevation. Another 96 clicks should do it.

Benchrest shooting comes in short range (100-200-300 yard) Score or Group, midrange 600 yard and long range 1000 yard. There are different recomendations for each.

Calling all shooters, at least those within earshot, to the first 100 yard Score match of the season at the Iosco Sportsmens Club, just North of East Tawas, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Huron. The range is at 1600 N US23, next to Jays RV sales. Gates open at 7am, Match begins at 10am. We...

Thanks to Matt and the whole crew for a well run match at a very nice facility. Now if I can only figure out that wind.

Be careful what you wish for Francis, that was Dr Kevorkians lawyer.

Bill, the "bells and whistles" aspect is going to depend on the tech savy of the members who are going to maintain it. We installed our electric gate two years ago and opted to do it in stages. Gate first with a keypad and the option to add the fancier stuff later. The guy that spearheaded...

A quick look at the Berger website recomendations for bullets/twist rate. The .243 with a 9 twist they recomend the 90 gr. If you go any bigger you should have an 8 twist. In the 7mm bullet they state, for the 9 twist, using their 168 gr vld. These are just recommendations. You may find that a...

I worried about this for about a full thirty seconds. There is so much information available about us already on line that listing my name here is the least of it.

Dick, i am looking forward to getting over and attending some of your matches at Isabella. There may be a discrepancy in the first match date. The club calendar shows this match on April 22 instead of the 29th. Our matches at The Iosco Sportsmens Club have factory, factory modified and...

Totally agree. Most people nowadays have no interest in shooting at paper targets. They want bowling pins, falling plates, bottles, ballons or just about anything that blows up when shot. How can we compete with that?

Just to offer another perspective to this topic. I run the Benchrest, as well as several other club matches, at the Iosco Sportsmens Club in East Tawas, Michigan. We are located on the shores of Lake Huron and the County is mostly comprised of State and National Forrest land. We see a large...

I just called this past Tuesday about a reamer ordered in October (16 weeks). I was told it would be shipped on Wednesday.
