It's easy to do. Couple months ago I got whooped by a 16-year-old shooting a rifle in a 22 LR long gong match why I have a $5000 rig. Just wasn't my day. I chewed on that a little bit on the way home I must admit.

Randolph front rest
- Thread starter drsquall
- Start date
Well if you're ever interested in selling them if you haven't already moved them down the road. I would be interested in trying one because I haven't ever shot off a front rest except for my cheap rock Junior sightingin my center fires. I usually shoot off a very wide front by pod and a good rear bag for 22 and Air. It's great to get all these opinions from the guys that's done it for years maybe decades because that helps in the decision process but I still think a guy has to kinda either borrow one of a style from someone and try it and borrow another style from someone else and try it so they can see what works best for their set up. I've got some great advice and I'm gonna go to the match and bring what I got for now and see how I like it and be nosy and ask lots of questions to the guys that will be there.o

Welcome to the N50 family! The guys who I have met at the N50 meet are superb specimens of sportsmanship.
My buddy and I walked on to the N50 in Raton at Raton the first year with a lead sled, a cat pillow and a couple of squirrel guns. To say we were under prepared and under equipped is an understatement.
I was an stunning example of Dunning-Krueger in the flesh. The guys took us in and gave us a lot of advice and suggestions for equipment. I was dead last in every event. I did not care where I placed, I felt like I had gotten to play a weekend of golf with Tiger Woods and John Daily. The cat pillow was retired from benchrest service.
I survived and started to collect things one season at a time. The PQP One piece rest I bought did not fit my gun. Necessity is the mother of invention, that and a shared budget for lunches and shooting gear.
Come on over to the Whittington Center in August and throw what ya have on the bench. We can fight it out for last place
.
It's a great place and an even better group of excellent people. I am sure you can get some hands on time with several different types of rests at the competition, so you can have a better idea of what is available. Take a red-shirt year on the first go round and enjoy the journey.
