Hi Jim, for what it's worth I'm getting ready to post an online training course (with fear and trepidation if there will be interest in a narrow niche like benchrest, but today has been encouraging). Would include equipment set-up, hand loading, reading the wind, tactics and strategies. I...

Good discussion, some additional thoughts below: Sit so the rifle recoils squarely into your shoulder pocket. The rifle should return to battery on target after firing. Keep your head down through firing and follow-throug Understand. But should my head be "level" in the fore-aft dimension, or...

more thoughts on bench set-up Hi Jim, good information from folks on this thread, a couple more thoughts on set-up: Sit so the rifle recoils squarely into your shoulder pocket. The rifle should return to battery on target after firing. Keep your head down through firing and follow-through. Top...

Congratulations Jack! Let me know how precisionshooting.com can support - I know there are folks who want to see this brand and benchrest thrive again. Lou I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Vera

We first met Dan in 2005 on the Canadian World Bendhrest Team and crossed paths with him over the years, including the Nationals in St. Louis and the Worlds at Rosebud in Calgary last year. We all aspire to leave a legacy and Dan has shown us the way – he was a hell of a nice guy you could...

Blue vs gold box Lapua cases Hi Richard, there's nothing 'wrong' with the blue box brass, however those of us who shoot it all the time do notice a difference in the tightness of the primer pockets. The Lapua reps say nothing has changed with the brass--they say it's because we shoot hot loads...

Just a heads' up that I've received two recent Facebook scam hits - one posing as Jerry Sharret, and another just now posing as Allie Euber. The friend requests look legitimate. Shortly after confirming you'll receive a message telling you about a federal government grant for $100k, no...

here's Clayt's obituary and arrangements, nice write-up Vera "Later in life he pursued his interest in marksmanship as competitive benchrest shooter and gunsmith. He competed internationally and throughout Ontario and the northeastern U.S. until his 89th year, and was still winning. As much as...

Sad news, it is with heavy heart I let you know that Clayton Martin has passed away. We’ll share news as we hear, it’s very early now. Clayton’s son found him at home. He was a cherished friend, we are greatly diminished. Vera & George

Great shooting Mike, congrats on HoF, George & Vera

Jack's contact info is on the NBRSA website under Eastern Region contact info, try http://nbrsa.org/node/132. If the link doesn't work Google NBRSA Eastern Region, and go to Range Contacts Vera

This works for every scope, a no-fail method when shooting 6 ppc loads. If you're sighted at 100 and go to 200, then center the reticle on the mothball and dial the scope to the bottom ring on the 200 yard target. A bullet drops that distance from 100 to 200 yards. So you're just dialing the...

Congrats! Congratulations George, you never needed to prove it to us, always been a tough competitor! George & Vera

Todd, apologies for missing your first name, thx G&V

Tyler, "Sometimes you just have to make it happen." Thanks to people like you, we have shoots to go to. Keep the faith - George and Vera

We’re here to prove that you can compete with the best of world benchrest, without deep pockets, and with a limited amount of components, and with a limited amount of time. It can be done with a ‘never quit’ attitude, and with the help of friends in the benchrest community. Why should you...

We all spend a lot of money to shoot for the same plaques and trophies, we’re not driving half-way across the country to shoot at either an IBS or an NBRSA match; we’re there to shoot with our friends. We really only want to play for the love of the game, but we’re losing it. The sanctioning...

Russell, couldn't agree with you more. We always thought we could enjoy our retirement shooting benchrest, but we're concerned with the trend. Small shooting ranges are disappearing, and attendance at the big shoots isn't strong for a lot of reasons. As the economy moves forward it might not...

200 yard Sporter and LV top 10 OK, this format isn't working, will re-submit so you can read, but not tonight. The first numbers are the grand agg, second 100yard, third 200 yard. Didn't translate from Word very well. I'm getting up in the wee hours to shoot HV200 so will post this for now...
