This may very well be the last registered benchrest match at WWCCA with Dana Raven’s announcement of his retirement. So I was motivated to win the 2-Gun and present it to him as the Honorary winner and a thank you for 24 years of being the Match Director.

Q I never shot long range, and never will. I’m speaking as a experienced shooter, with 21 US Benchrest Hall of Fame points and a .1956 agg 3-Gun IBS World Record. Sorry, I butted into your world. Have a nice day!

You don’t need to show targets. Your peers know what it takes to win.

So, what makes an expert, Hall of Fame points, and how many? There are good shooters that never travel to National events, and poor shooters that go to every match. There are Competitive and Social shooters, each with specific skills, knowledge and experience. I think it’s hard to define, but...

Not sure that will work…. Al, I’ll make sure the guy with the 300 Mag is on the bench to your right! LOL

Last year, I did an in-depth review of competitve short-range Benchrest cost comparing the year 2000 (when I started) to 2023. The data indicates that equipment cost is not a major issue in preventing an individual from entering the sport of short-range benchrest. These costs appear to not...

For shooting at 100 yards, I place flags at 20, 40, 60, and 80 yards. For 200 yards, I place them at 20, 40, 75, 110, and 150. At some ranges (like St. Louis), you may want your first flag around 10 closer (and all the others closer). At Fairchance, I like one more flag for 200 yards. I don’t...

I play more golf than practice shooting. I fine tune my loads (practice) before each match.

…when I try to shoot fast, I watch the flags on my bench (and those on both sides) with the quickest glance as I’m loading. If they look similar (same relative direction and intensity) to when I started, I don’t hold (i.e., cross hair is at 6 O’clock in the mothball). If my previous shot hit...

I get caught often with a switch that occurs as I re-focus back on the gun and scope. That’s why I put more effort watching the range and picking the absolute best condition I see where I can put five rounds downrange. I have no problem starting my group with one minute left (I don’t like...

#1: I watch the entire range, within reason. Big ranges like St. Louis makes it a little easier for you to see a let-up coming and how long they stay before they get to your bench. Small ranges with berms, like WWWCA, are tough for me also. I may win a few aggs there just because I practice...

When I first started shooting short range Benchrest 24 years ago, I would watch the first three flags on my bench. I would do OK, but seldom won an Agg or Grand. I loss sight in my right eye as a child, so I had to move my head off the gun to watch the flags. If it was twitchy, I got...

See above.

Congratulations Jack, and good shooting Kurt and Lacy. Kurt, Jack and Lacy Tim B., Kurt, Jack, Tim H., and Jerry Butch, Larry, Kurt, Tim, Jack, Mario, and Vic

On behalf of Dana Raven (Match Director) and the entire Western Wayne County Conservation Association “Precision Shooters” we would like to welcome you to the “Fall Classic” NBRSA Group Match (100 & 200 yard LV/HV) scheduled on October 7-8, 2023. The range will be open for practice on Friday...

I think the 2019 article under the Competition Forum, on the “U.S. Benchrest Hall of Fame“ update by Joe Krupa should be removed. It’s outdated.
