Thanks Wilbur. It was UNL 5 shot all weekend. It is a new shoot for Visalia that we are calling the Sniper King warmup. Rumor has it that there are around 14 shooters from California and Arizona that are going to invade Tacoma for the upcoming Sniper King competition.

I practiced on bench 5, but I was competitor 108, so I moved them to benches 8 and then 38 for the weekend.

Boyd Yes, I used the SmartFlags on both days. My bench mates also used them. On Sunday, we established a hotspot and Mike S., on the the bench next to me, logged in with his IPad and shot with it all day Sunday.

Thanks Eric and the rest of the crew from Berger ran the match with the same precision that they must use for their weekday jobs making Berger Bullets! The Friday night BBQ hosted by Berger was finger licking good and the prize draw was very well supported by the different manufacturers. They...

Wilbur If I could write a software program that predicts what the wind is going to do next, I wouldn't waste it on Benchrest. I would use it to buy lotto tickets!

Hello Ron, I watch my second flag for vertical.

This alone will keep us ahead of the computers for a long time. The electronic flag is simply another tool to augment your visual flag reading skills.

mks Looked at these a long time ago. Cheapest I could find was $2,600 per head or $18,200 just for the sensors in a 7 flag system! Do you happen to know if the prices have come down?

Below are links to 2 videos. The first shows the sensors. The anemometer cups drive a DC motor that generates a current. The flag is driving an elliptical piston hooked up to a potentiometer. When the flag is at a full crosswind the full DC charge is allowed to flow through. As the flag goes...

I have been experimenting with various versions of Jerry's systems for the past 6 or 7 years. I have been experimenting with his latest system for the past year. Please rest assured that anyone who simply watches the computer screen to determine when to pull the trigger will be sorely...

It's been stuck to the top of this thread for weeks! http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?91800-2015-Cactus-Classic-Registration See you there

Jerry I too have heard of the 50 bench rule for as long as I have been shooting Benchrest and I was was quite surprised to find that it does not appear to be a written rule. Perhaps the directors take it into consideration when awarding the location for the Nationals.

Jerry After a quick read of both the IBS and NBRSA rulebooks, I did not notice a written requirement for number of benches at either Nationals. I know that in the past the requirement has been a minimum of 50 benches and for the 2014 NBRSA Nationals at Holton, an exception was made for their...

Relays Hello Eric. How many relays are you planning for? See you soon, Lawrence

Canadians Rick, You may want to send Eric Stecker a copy of a previous invite letter at eric.stecker@bergerbullets.com . He may even post one on the website to make it easier for visiting shooters.

I just wanted to say that Eric Stecker and the guys from Berger Bullets hosted one heck of a shoot this weekend!. Everything was organized to the T and was run with a precision usually reserved for a National's shoot and they provided lunch for everyone on both days. Thanks a bunch and I look...

Lift in this situation is a misnomer. Basically the bullet just falls a little less.

Yes. As in .2575 that I use.
