The thunder of high-powered rifle fire roared across the rifle range at the Pine Tree Rifle Club the morning of May 31st, 2014. After nearly a 30-year hiatus from IBS benchrest competition IBS has returned to the Pine Tree Rifle Club of Johnstown, New York. As many of you know it’s the Pine Tree Rifle Club where modern benchrest shooting got a start back in 1947 under the leadership of Harvey Donaldson and Col. Townsend Whelen. Little did they know that their “benchrest movement”, as it was called by Harvey, would grow into an international sport, and foster growth is rifle accuracy the way it has.
