Hey there sport, sorry for the slow reply. I was off shooting a match yesterday, having a great time with my friends, doing what I love to do.....shooting cards.....sanctioned cards. There is a huge difference between voicing an opinion and blatantly misquoting the rules of a sanctioning body...

Well, here's what I think. You had an average of 10 shooters per match in 2019. Several were from Michigan. For some reason the ARA site does not show September and October, but I was there in October 2019 when the club hosted the state tournament and we had enough shooters we went relays. Also...

KBS, is there any hope of getting ARA back at your club? I shot there in 2019 and would gladly return. I am from Illinois, but have several friends in Indiana that would love to see that happen again at the club as well. Nice facilities and a challenging range. Scott

George, I'm hoping I spoke loud enough with the last of several rebuttals to him to stop this crap. At least he stopped over on RFC under a different username. I try very hard to support the game in many different ways, as I know you do too. Some folks just don't get it though. Stay safe......Scott

Thank you sir. I appreciate your post. Scott

Here we go again!! NO ARA FACTORY CLASS RULES STATE YOUR RIFLE OR BUTCH'S IS NOT A STOCK RIFLE!! PERIOD!! They don't state they are not 'factory' either. They simply state those two, and many others, are not allowed by the rules. They are rules the sanctioning body has put in place to keep a...

mikeinco2014.......yes, your username on another board Arguing with other shooters who have a lot better idea/experience of shooting sanctioned RFBR is not going to get you very far in this game as far as building relationships that can help you better your game. Your posts indicate your lack...

Yes and no to the above. That's still excellent shooting for the class, plus it was a brand new rifle and those scores were shot from a bipod and rear bag. On that day, I'd say the guy really had it going on! Scott

Yep, not enough experience to understand yet. Nor does he understand his audience on this board or another he continues to 'display' himself on. Shame, as a lot of guys do enjoy helping new guys. Scott

I have really been trying not to post on these forums, but you have really pushed some stuff too far. You have posted this untrue crap on another board and you really DON'T GET IT! Your rifle is stock.....everyone but you understands that. Your rifle is a factory rifle. Again, we all...

Kevin and Tim, Yes, I do remember seeing pictures of the Turbo aluminum stock. For the last several years I have traveled a bit all over and shoot both major sanctioning bodies. I have never seen one at a match, big or small, ever. While I do not know of one ever winning a match, never seeing...

Wayne, that's interesting. Mine is bedded in from the top and you can't really see it as it's bedded over for the action. You can see part it of it from the bottom/top of the trigger inlet though. You say it's made of steel? I guess in 11 years, Mark made some adjustments in how he does things...

Hey Tim, the rifle shoots good. I have won a couple of matches with it. It has 2 barrels and I have mostly shot it in the Unlimited configuration with the .900 on it and a heavy variable scope. Scope change (fixed power) and using the .850 makes 10.5lb. I have not worked or tested enough in that...

Okay, now you have tipped your hand a bit, as in more information. I have not heard of anyone making a bedding block for the 2500X such as Whidden is doing and just offering it to the public. I looked at Whidden's site and yes, they make bedding blocks, but it seemed to me only for factory...

Edit: Tim got to it while I was typing, but I'll leave my post as written.....only because I agree with him! Well, I have one, but it was custom made by Mark Penrod. It's in a McMillan HV Straight Line Edge stock and Mark did the entire build. I seriously doubt if he would make one and just...

The above reasons for lack of replies here are reasonable. Benchrest competitors shoot scopes of the type that Tim has mentioned, myself being one of those, and you have posted on a benchrest forum. SFP scope reticles do not get finer as the power goes up, they stay the same. FFP scope reticles...

Thank you Bruce Hornstein! Bruce, several members wanted you to repost in this sticky, myself one of them, and I am happy and thankful you did. Thank you so much for explaining another technique in dealing with the Sporter class rules. Whether it works for others or not, 'class act' by you to...

Excellent post and explanation Bruce. I will echo Keith's thoughts as to seeing it explained in writing has given me a better understanding than the conversation we had. I would also like to see this post added to the sticky section. Easy and quick way to reference it in the future...

Bruce, when we spoke at the UL Indoor Nationals you shared a Sporter tip with me. Is what you are referring to here have to do with where you position the reticle on the target? If so, I'll let you explain it. Scott

After reviewing the rules for both IR50/50 and ARA, I have only found one rule mentioned as to coaching during a match. It was in the ARA Junior rules stating a Junior could not be coached during the match. There are rules in both sanctioning bodies as to disturbing the line during the course of...
