It's not uncommon for several of my benchrest shots (at 100 and 200 yds.) to look like flyers, and I don't know the cause. Oftentimes, I see that regardless of the load. One think I'm wondering about is my wind-flag watching technique — or lack thereof. I don't seem to be good at trying to...

Around the time of my son's one-and-done hunt (see post # 6 at https://benchrest.com/forum/threads/shooting-related-autobiographical-snippets.105976/), his interest in guns increased and eventually morphed into an interest in benchrest shooting. He shot several matches and eventually invited a...

My First Exposure to a Registered Group Match — My shooting buddy and I had been shooting (in factory class) the club matches at River Bend for over a year when we heard about an upcoming two-day, registered group match at that club; we decided to go watch the first day. There were 25 shooters...

Around the time of my son's one-and-done hunt (see post # 6 on page 1), his interest in guns increased and he bought a bunch of guns (including a 300 Wby.) and scopes. One day he and a buddy went to an indoor range and my son took the Wby. (on which he had mounted a scope). Later that day he...

Over the 14 months following my first benchrest match at Elberton my shooting buddy and I shot several more matches there, then we discovered the monthly club matches at River Bend. We shot in factory class at River Bend for a few years and enjoyed the competition with a few other factory-class...

In the past, my long-time hunting and shooting buddy and I occasionally went to various state-controlled, rifle ranges (WMA range) to shoot our deer and/or varmint rifles at paper targets approximately 100 yds. downrange. (Getting a three-shot group under an inch was a noteworthy...

I owe a SPECIAL thanks to Brandon, with Infinite Web Consulting. Why? Because, after the "We Remember" thread (what may be the most memorable thread on this website) was inadvertently deleted, he graciously made the effort to restore it. Brandon, thank you, thank you, thank you. Guys & gals...

I don't recall the first time I met Wilbur face-to-face; however, I do recall what may have been one of those early times. That's a story worth telling. When Wilbur first showed up on my radar screen he had quit shooting. (I can't locate a source to verify this, but as I recall, he was a...

In the past, I visited a private rifle range several times that had target boards/steel plates at various yardages out to over 600 yds. (That was my first experience shooting beyond 200 yds.) Even with hearing protection and the gun blast, l could hear the bullet hitting the steel plate over 600...

Steve, thanks for the efforts you make in posting match results. Oh, and congratulations on your shooting. :)

Wilbur was a good friend; I'll share some memories. The first time Wilbur appeared on my radar screen was the result of me scanning this website in the early days of my presence here. I really enjoyed reading his insightful and well-thought posts, including post 15 at...

Lori, you and Brandon are the BEST! :)

Joe, thanks for your comments. Do you have suggestions as to how to "bring this site back to its former status"?

OO, thanks for your post; it prompted me to look for your "post about the search function..." (maybe you're referring to the second paragraph in post # 80 at https://benchrest.com/forum/threads/bullet-making-pics.72619/page-4#post-859150. Regardless of my post # 40 at...

Thanks. I had thought of doing that; however, I was afraid that would result in another "Like." :confused: That's why I proposed a compromise position (see post 2453 above).

J Jim, did you click the link in post # 2 above; it shows results that may be fairly current.

That's debatable; I suspect people come to this site to see new posts — regardless of what kind. I don't know why Wilbur tolerated this thread, but I am confident that his intent in starting this website was to provide a place for shooting-related posts. As for "a decade that included...

Regarding: (1) post # 41 at https://benchrest.com/forum/threads/anyone-interested-in-buying-benchrest-com.105910/page-3 (specifically, the part about "limiting the post content to gun-related stuff (as suggested by the subtitle beneath the name of each Forum)"); (2) post # 2337 at...

Apr Report - We had eight shooters today, including long-absent Jack Perry, and two shooters who returned from having recently shot with us for the first time: James Garrett and Michael Scott. The weather was nice; about 52° when we started and 73° when we finished — although a bit breezy...
