Tony, thanks for the update. Interesting schedule of events. At the time of this post, I do not see this on the IR website schedule. Hope there is a good turnout.
Good Lord willing, I'll be there.

We are getting closer to the IR 50/50 Indoor Nationals and preparations have begun.

This Nationals weekend does not include the unlimited class. This will be shot on another date.

I hope everyone that is planning to come is making the necessary reservations.

I understand that this Nationals will only draw a certain crowd. The focus is on shooting light weight sporters and limits equipment down to shooting off of sandbags.

Even though these are full on benchrest rifles shooting them is quite different from shooting heavy rifles. In the unlimited class you are allowed to use one piece rest or otherwise known as shooting from a vice.

Light weight rifles require more attention to rifle handling and bench manners. A little more focus is on the shooter.

I know of no greater thrill in shooting than shooting a sporter.

That 6.5 power scope doesn't allow you to even see the X dot but somehow you are able to knock that dot out nearly as often as you can with the heavier rifles.

If you have never seen just how accurate these sporters are I invite you to come to the Nationals it may open up a whole new challenge for you.

Every target winner will earn a Hall of Fame point, and they will deserve it.

When are you guys going to post an overall schedule of events for your range? This would be good for your overall revenue don't you think, plus attract more outside competitive shooters to the sport.

I wish everyone good luck, and hope you have a great turnout. I love sporters, wish I could be there. I sold off my 10.5 lb rifles, but kept all of my sporters, but have no ammo worthy of match shooting.
