2025 N50 here I come (Raton, NM)

[JimNM]

In August I will be heading to Raton, New Mexico for the National N50 benchrest contest. I was able to attend the first two events, then missed the next two due to Life.

I just finished making plans for this year and got some practice in. Light wind was enough for me to re-learn the flags. 3 cards scored with the plug (usually for practice I score myself raw with the pellet hole). Have some room for further improvement. When I can shoot raw and get these scores, I will feel accomplished.



245 13x

249 15x

249 16x



The contest pits the very best pellet guns, slug guns and .22lr rimfire guns against each other in a multiple day, multiple heat match up. This is a Marathon type of event, not a sprint through two cards while the wind is behaving to see who is the luckiest in lane draw and time slots.
