Couple Questions on your 600 yard benchrest ????

[grog]

I have shot F-Class at 600 yards and am wondering about your game and the differences in the game. Have skimmed the rules and see your light gun is 17 # or less and heavy can be any weight and both are limited to 40 cal or less. See you do not allow prone shooting but have a bench and setup is about the same as 100, 200 and 300 bench rest which I have done. My question is how do you score the target and does a pit crew pull the target after each shot and who does the scoring someone in the pit I would guess. How does the shooter get feed back on sighters. Also see the ad/registration form for the St Louis 600 yard nationals later this month. 8 targets for record with 5 record shots and unlimited sighters. Does this target look like a score target or a group target with all the record shots on the same bull. How large is the target at 600 yards? Is there much difference between IBS and NBRSA rules?

Thanks.

You shoot for group and score on the same target with only 1 bull. I believe it is 21" X 21" At St. Louis the sighters are shot on a metal gong where you can see you own impacts and then when the sighter period is over you move to the record target, no further sighters allowed once the record period starts.

The rules are similar between the two disciplines. The targets are pulled and scored after the record string is complete just like short range.

Hope to see you in St. Louis.
