What's the best way to get started in benchrest unfortortunatly for me there isn't any where in south Florida to even go and watch a match or talk to someone for advice. Read everything I can and go from there local gun shop's just look at you when you ask about Rimfire Benchrest. Any help? Thank's in Advance.
 
First South FL covers a lot of ground.
2nd you ought to put your name and city in your User CP then you might start hearing about a lot of people and places near by.
Just a Thought:D

Hello Flor1 . . .

Dan Killough, down there in Texas, mentioned the matches on Rimfire Central.

Back in 2001 the Rimfire Central "On-Line Matches were organized, by a club I belonged to in Mission, Texas. Paul Verhey was a prime mover in that effort. Two years later he moved his "Winter Home" to Lakeland, Florida. He organized a group of shooters from that area that started shooting in the Rimfire Central On-Line Matches with us.

Each Spring when Paul moves back to Michigan, Bob Sanchez and his wife have kept the Lakeland shooters active. Bob is the Florida Team Captain now, and has a few shooters from other places in the State, each shooting on their own home range.

In the RFC matches we have 4 Man State Team competition, and in some months Florida will have 3 or 4 four man teams entered, thanks to the efforts of Bob and Paul.

I believe Paul Verhey is on his way back to Michigan right now. I would suggest you contact Bob Sanchez: His e-mail address is: postmark92@aol.com

Also: You could go to the "Matches" section on RFC and read more information about the "On-Line" Matches.
