I need a benchrest quality trigger for my old Model 75 Winchester sporter. It's been my squirrel rifle for over forty years but I have recently started shooting it in BR matches and egg shoots. It's surprisingly accurate but the trigger is driving me crazy. I had a local, very good, gunsmith...

Is there anyone out there who can make a benchrest quality trigger for a model 75 Winchester? I have started shooting my old squirrel rifle in some local BR matches in the factory class. I have found an Eley ammo that shoots surprisingly well. However, the trigger is driving me nutz. I had a...

Jeffie... Where were you? When you don't show up it really limits the number of people I have to pick on. PLEASE NOTE... Remaining matches are... 16 Aug. 100 yd. group 6 Sept. 100 yd. score 20 Sept. 100 yd. group We added the 20 Sept. match last month. We have traditionaly shot...

Thanks Matt... You do a great job of reporting the results. Also, thanks for retrieving my gun. Anybody senile enough to leave an expensive rifle at the range is obviously too old to be allowed to shoot. As usual to food at the bar was great. Glorya was much less grouchy than normal when I...

Our remaining matches are... All 100 yds.... Aug. 2nd Score Aug. 16th Group Sept. 6th Score Sept. 20th Group Starting time is 10 AM. Gates open by 8 AM. Coffee and donuts always available before each match. Let's have a good turnout for all of them. It's a long way...

I attended a club match at ICSC last Thursday afternoon. We shot 50 yd. benchrest with classes for both competition and factory rifles. The club has ten good concrete benches and we had enough shooters to almost fill two relays. The competition was fun, friendly and, I found out, not easy to...

Matt... You need to change the directions... The club is aproximatetly a mile west of the intersection of Old 27 (runs north & south right thru the middle of beautiful downtown Harrison) and Cranberry Lake Rd. It's on the north end of Harrison near the airport. Turn west off Old 27 on...

Thanks Matt... You do a beter job of reporting these matches than I've ever seen. A bit of explanation... The range faces East. Therefore when we start shooting at 10 AM the sun is directly in your face. We hang towels or tarps from the roof in front of our benches to keep the sun out of our...

We add a match... in September this year. The last match of the season will be a group match held on 20 Sept. This Saturday is the traditional date for our last match but wasn't scheduled the last couple of years. Harrison shooters... please put this on your calendar. It will be your last...

It's a Budd Burger... named for the Budd Lake Bar which is named for Budd Lake which takes up most of beautiful downtown Harrison. The food is really good and some of the waitresses are kinda dishy. Ask Dyke who manages to fall in love every time we go there. Actually Jimmy behaved himself very...

We got to meet a nice young fellow... named Jeremiah Hoover. (Anyone under 60 in benchrest is an infant.) He is a rookie at benchrest but is very experienced in other disciplines, including Palma where you shoot at targets waaaaaay out there. Jeremiah's 40X .222 shot as well as any Factory...

There will be... coffee and doughnuts ready when you get there. We will shoot one agg, be done around 2:30 prox and head for the Budd Lake Bar, right in the middle of town. The food is real good... ask Jim Dyke. (He also fell in love with a cute waitress last time. I thought we were going to...

Dan, I shot Steve's match and one in Harrison a couple of weeks ago. Due to health problems it's the first time I have shot in a couple of years. I can't believe how much I forgot in that time. But it feels really good just to be able to shoot with the guys again. Thanks, Dick

How many you think? Dan, I was the only shooter with a .22. That's the only reason I took first place, .22. :( Dick

Fwiw... our son is both a custom furniture and quitar maker... very good with wood. The elegant cartridge box goes with my philosophy that if you're going to lose, you might as well look good losing. Al, I think my .22 bullets get to the target before the 6's. Last time I chronographed a load...

Matt & I went... over to the Isabella range yesterday. Steve was there and let us shoot. I wanted to sight my gun in and see if I could see .22 bullet holes at 300 yds with my 36X Sightron. As a long, long time match director I got to really hate people who didn't bother to sight their guns...

I've been concerned... that, with new people running the matches, maybe some of our regular shooters have been turned off by the way the first couple of matches were run. This last match went fine since Matt Dardas got the latest download of the scoring program, ran the computer and did the...

TODAY... The Isabella County Sportsman's Club will hold their first rimfire benchrest match this evening June 19, 2014. There will be classes for competition rifles and factory rifles. The match will consist of two twenty-five shot for record targets at 50 yds. Registration and sight-in start...

Matt, Sorry that I can't be there. This be one of very, very few Harrison matches that I have missed in the last twenty-three years. Have fun. I will see you at the first match in July. Dick
