That comment reminds me of the very first registered match i ever shot in, almost twenty years ago.I finished 3rd out 30+ shooters in the first yardage. Some of the best shooters in the Region were present. I shared a bench with a left hander. He set his flags up on the left side of the bench. not really being aware of good Benchrest etiquette, I set mine up on the right side of the bench. (Information Overload,too many wind flags) I had very limited skills at gun handling or reading wind flags.
Yes,Good things happen, when you have a Rifle that shoots. Been there done that. Finding the right combination for a Rifle is easier said than done.
