Congratulations Ken!!! Ken is a great shooter and always willing to help a struggling shooter out. Needless to say, he has helped me repeatedly. LOL George

Hoot, Thank you, I have been shooting rimfire for around 5 years now. I just wanted to see where I stood in the world when I went to my first IR50/50 event this past winter. It happened to be a National Match, so I was in the presence of greatness so to speak. 43 shooters from all over the U.S...

Landy, Thank you, the conditions during that target were a bit breezy. This barn has large openings all down the right side, the wind usually does not effect shooting there that much, as the three flags that are suspended from the rafters, are usually going in three different directions. Maybe...

Bob, Thank you Bob, I know its hard to tell from the picture, the ones marked X actually removed the dot and leave a little white. We will be shooting these over the next few weeks, so I will get some practice in. Thanks George

Thanks Don, do you think its way off, or just a bull or two? Do they need to touch the center dot to be 100? Thanks again George

I shot my first ARA card ( in a match that is ) at a local non-sanctioned match Friday night. No big deal, but I was lucky enough to get signed up for the Triple Crown at Kettlefoot next year. ARA will be one leg of this match, so I figure I had better be practicing on a few targets. The target...

I totally agree, I would rather shoot with the wind steady at 20 mph than try shooting in a light switchy wind. It looks like nothing, but it will sure throw you off your game. I shot inside some with no wind, while it will produce good scores, its still not as good as shooting with a steady...

We have been using that ABRA target at a few of our local matches, using bolt actions, its not an easy target. Shooting in the 190s is tough, but Xs are really hard to come by. Congratulations to Jack for putting on a show. That requires lots of skill to do that with a semi auto. George

Please keep in mind this is JMHO The 2013 is better than the Kimber 82G, its on equal footing with the 40X, but it won't hold a candle to a 52D Winchester. Now guess which one is my favorite. LOL. An Anschutz is a serious contender in any class. A friend of my had a 2007 in the BR50 stock...

I'll go along with that, mine shows a Turbo, Shillen ratchet, in reality it a OEM Winchester 52D. George

Well Cliff, it really should be. If Wilbur wants to, I have no problem with that. I just asked a question and stated my opinion. Its was not my intent to start an argument or put anyone down, if that is what your implying. FYI, I emailed Wilbur days before starting this thread and did not...

Jim, I am planning on coming. Will the range be open Friday? Thanks George

Sam, I hate to hear that:(, I was actually coming yesterday but found this notice before I left. Was it due to a lack of interest or something else :confused: George

Tim you may be on to something, as a matter fact this thread should have been posted in the General Discussion section. My bad. :eek: George

Bill, I guess there is no harm. Its just that of the 40 threads on page one, 30 of them are about upcoming or previous matches. I really do read about upcoming and match results, but I can read about them in their proper place just as well. That would leave this portion open to other discussions...

Well, if the out-house was out of order, I would hang the out of order sign, on the out-house door. The forum home page has all the listings on one page, not really hard to see or find. But I know what you mean. George

Why are threads posted here, about upcoming matches and match results? There is a section on this board just for that type of info. http://benchrest.com/forumdisplay.php?9-Match-Information-and-Results This is like having a newspaper, with the obituaries in the sports section.:confused: Not...

Bill, No, not going to make that match, just pointing out that not everyone knows where these matches take place. Just using this one as an example. True that most have a website that list an address, but many do not. Being that most ranges are off the beaten path so to speak, they are not all...

Match info Bob, First off let me say I hope your match is a great success. :) I see match info like this posted and I have wondered why no addresses are ever posted with it. Now for guys and gals that have been shooting for several years, they may know where all these matches are. But if your...

Well that explains things, I have often wondered why some shooters turn down taking the pins. I shot my first sanctioned IR50/50 matches this winter. I have been fortunate enough to receive 5 of the 250 pins, very proud of each of them. 250's don't come easy when your shooting a worn out 52D...
