A "Super Big" congratulations to Al Auman for his decisive Heavy Varmint Grand and 2-Gun win at the 50th anniversary Super Shoot. I can't wait to hear the tall tales in the months to come. Congrats to Dave Bruno for the LV Grand win. Bob and Steve and Mike and Dave for their yardage wins.

Way to go Steve ! The surest way to win a two gun is to win both grands, don't even have to do the math on that one.

Way to RUMBLE through Georgia Harley ! Don't forget to stop at Grumpy's diner on the way back home.( "uh, mr. Grumpy sir, would it be too much trouble to get a couple fried eggs and some toast ?")

Sorry to hear this Dave, Don was a great guy. Joel

You have to absolutely, positively and without a doubt keep them from moving on the bench. Clean scuffed up super feet with water under them on concrete benches, a formidable front bump stop massively steel C-clamped to the concrete bench and sand bags/ shot bag/ lead cut off bags on top of the...

Way to go Lacy ! Nice two gun win!

If we are to resurrect the sport of Benchrest and the bone yard that it has become it is best to remember that we are first and foremost Friends. Gary has been around BR a long time and his opinions and observations are valued. I will however immediately come to the defense of the DSR&P club in...

Oh No, Sorry to hear this. Chuck was an inspiration to us all. What a great guy. He most certainly will be missed. My condolences to Paul and Don. Joel

Sorry to hear about Mike Gamble's passing. He was a fixture in the middle of the loading barn at Kelbly's for many years and a big supporter of the Kane shoots. I would ask him anything and everything about Benchrest because I knew he would give me sound, solid advice. Great guy, great shooter.

Sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. Like so many of our Benchrest friends we got to know each other at the Super Shoot. We both liked to reload behind the barn with the Canadians(peaceful and amusing)and I drew a bench next to him more than a few times. Jerry's equipment and rifles all originated...

There are plenty of them out there now being used by bullet makers that have previously used converted reloading presses from RCBS, Redding and Lee. My question to you guys is does the premium press make a better bullet ? Somebody out there must have tried to prove it by taking their best...

Practice ? From a group shooters point of view, none of us get much practice. The evaluation of equipment is paramount in our non-match range time. We put on a barrel and run a ladder test with our best components looking for, hoping for, a barrel that that just sticks 'em. We don't cherry pick...

The Big Picture The main reasoning behind my participation in this thread is to make the point that anybody can do this. Anybody with a decent Benchrest rifle and some basic equipment and the willingness to show up at a match can compete. At any range across the country a new BR shooter will be...

Gear and Gadgets We want our resized brass to fit the chamber very closely. With the custom dies we have available it's not that hard to do. Most custom dies utilize floating neck bushings that leave a small portion of the neck near the shoulder unsized. The reloaded cartridge uses that portion...

Barrels and Bullets Take a great shooting rifle and set it up on a flawed front rest and rear bag set up and it will still be a great shooting rifle but you will struggle to shoot a 5 shot group with it in competition and your aggregates will suffer. That's why the bench set up is top priority...

Most Important Front rest & Rear bag: There are lots of good front rests out there but the joystick type rests are often adjusted too loose and can cause the shooters hand to flinch when the shooter next to you fires his rifle. With most ranges requiring super feet these days you need to make...

Way to go Jack !

Bruno passed away last week at his home in Fairport, NY. He had many friends in the BR community. We met each other over 30 years ago at the Genesee Conservation League in Rochester, NY while working up accuracy loads for our Varmint rifles. We quickly became friends and enjoyed many years...

Hi Bill, Hope all is well. I got that tuner from "Otto", Greg Schnuur who use to hang with us at Canastota. I think he made it, he was good at making things.
