Mr. Andress, could you post directions to the RBGC,for those of us that have never been to this gun club? I'm from Houston, and will be in the Huntsville, Al. area. Am hoping to make this shoot while here. I did not see River Bend in the benchrest range locations. Thanks, Wayne Johnson
 
I was there!:D

I arrived Saturday morning to visit with my good friend & gunsmith Mickey Coleman & intended to stay & watch for an hour or so.
Well, Mickey being the type of guy he is, introduced me to Mr. Wilbur Harris & Mr. Brady Knight & before I realized, I was entered in Light Gun, relay 2, using Wilbur's rifle.

What a great experience! After making a real fool of myself (Crossfire:eek:), I managed to shoot well enough to place 16th out of 25 shooters. Wilbur's rifle & tutelage gets all the credit. I am humbled by the Benchrest fraternity and their willingness to welcome total novices like me. I have known Mickey for a number of years, and have passed a fair share of loot his way for hunting rifles he has built for me. Mickey, after this weekend, more loot will be forthcoming for a light varmint rifle.......

Thanks again guys. Enjoyed the day.....
