Seat material will likely crack... Most of those types of seats have a covering material that cracks over time even when in a stable environment. I suspect using it outside would hasten that process. But for $19 not much is expected. Hard to beat the Sinclair stool if the height range fits...

The down side of pre-loading... Many many more cases needed. When loading at the range I was using on average 30 cases, cycling through them during the day regardless of how many days of shooting. Now for a three yardage shoot, I load 250 rounds making sure I have plenty. I usually have half...

Greg P was practicing some extreme accuracy powder throwing... I did not witness but was told that Greg forgot his powder measure, so he was using a spoon to "dump" his powder into his cases. His tolerance was "half way up the neck". I shot on side of him and he did struggle a little, but his...

Eddie I think I am a rules person as rule people go but sometimes the degree of the enforcement seems ridiculous. The forearm width comes to mind. The Hunter stock must not exceed 2.25 inches. We then get a stock that has been painted three times and has stock tape on it. Calipers show it...

Awesome! Congrats, Josh and good luck with the endeavor.

If you off set the probe(s) from your line of flags, small probes tuck closer to the line of flags without hiding the flags. With my eyesight, I can't see the small probe much beyond 80 yards, so I go with a small probe close and large probes further away. I typically off set the probes from...

The idea of the 2-gun is what brought me to the 6x class. The competitive juices came out one day when talking with a fellow competitor about who were top shooters in the score game. He made a statement that stuck with me, "but he (meaning another shooter) is a top shooter in both classes."...

Ed, you are absolutely correct but... new shooters to benchrest usually start out in VFS. It isn't necessarily that way in ME as Orland brings in new shooters using his hunter guns, but just about everywhere else its VFS. Soooo, the migration to 6x seems to dictate shooting two guns unless...

linekin Give me a call. I started fresh in 2002 and although I had reloaded before, I had no benchrest equipment. From experience, I can provide some insight as to what you need vs what you will want. :) My number is four7four, eight56one. I am home most days but no calls after 8:30pm.

Thanks to all Been away from the computer for a bit, but thanks. Wayne put together a complete year from start to finish, which is exactly what one needs to do to finish a head of Dean. Congrats to Josh as well. You obviously have good skills and with a mentor like Dave, the possibilities...

Good question Nice trap question Jim. :) Heck, I don't know. In the above scenario, the newbies have been shooting for 2-3 years while the veterans went back as far as 1980's. I was present and participated in the conversation and I started shooting IBS in 2002. I guess one could say: Any...

Dick, don't sweat the small stuff. You have enough to do without chasing down reports. Shooters should voice their concerns to those match directors not sending in results or equipment lists. Near the end of this past season, several of the new shooters were discussing how long some clubs...

Dick, I think you missed understood my post. For clarification purposes only, I was not referring to any listing for which you were responsible. Wayne had listed the VT Oct. 8 match as one of three matches for which he had received no match report. That VT match is one of the three to which...

Jim Pag, there are other things holding up the final standing beyond the missing match reports; record target verification. They are being done now but will take approx. two to three weeks for them to get sent along to the committee members. The committee waits to year's end so all targets get...

Dick, good luck with that... Glad to hear you are coming to ME, it's been a while. I have shot clean there at 200 and at 300, but not on the same weekend. I don't know just how many 500's have been shot at Lincoln county for their 200/300. At least 3 of the clean 300's were the weekend of the...

One day at Thurmont... I was attempting to tease the shooter that had just shot so well about how fortunate that he ended up with the "honey hole". He very coyly but astutely said, "It has been my experience that the 'honey hole' is usually where the best shooter is." How true, how true. I...

Welcome to the club! Great job, Dick. Hopefully the records committee will agree and you can cross 25x's off your bucket list. Do you have the 750 yet?

Just to add The Hunter classification is made up of two classes of rifles, htr and vh, similar to the VFS classification has two, LVS and HVS. Clear as mud, right!

Thanks Dick Thanks Dick for the clarification of the wording for B. 3. I now understand what the language is intending to say. That idea had never crossed my mind about splitting VFS into two classes, one LV and one HV. I have to admit though that I am still struggling with E. 7 language...

This is what I found in the IBS Rules VI Score Shooting Rules B. Classifications 3) Varmint for Score shall be fired with any rifle meeting the Light Varmint or Heavy Varmint rules as described sections V.B.2 and V.B.3 of this rulebook. Records will be recognized for Light Varmint and Heavy...
