Benchrest Experts

Just a tip. You may want to ask the mods to move this into the regular target forum for better exposure. I Haven't shot benchrest in a bit but did email this link to a few of the guys I have shot with that run or help run matches. Good luck with the program and I hope to have a need to buy a rifle for and EBR type competition in the east.

Michael,

Do you happen to jnkw if any of those BR competitions land here in the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, N. Illinois, Minnesota or Michigan)? If it’s within reasonable driving distance I may be interested in attending one...

For some more input here, we have two BR clubs in MI. Western Wayne on the East side of state and Southern Mi. gun club on the west side of state( I know confusing!) S.M.G.C. Has airgun specific BENCHREST comp’s & is USARB sanctioned! but the firing line has only 20 benches I believe? Very nice club and has a 100yd firing line (airgun only for this range) have reached out to members about holding a national ( this club has hosted FT nations previously ) but this is a huge undertaking and requires a large commitment and sponsorship to pull off! but would love to participate at any level and or yardage ( BENCHREST only )competition in the mid west!

Gary, I'm not sure what you are asking for. Is it to see if folks would be interested? If so, I definitely would. I live in Massachusetts and shoot bench rest here in Mass. with 5 or 6 other guys. I'm sure we could get two to three times that for a EBR type, two day match in New York state. 

If you are looking to see who has expertise in planning and/or running such an event, I'm not your person. Interesting to hear that Crossman has reached out to some folks. Sounds promising. There is a guy who lives in western NY who had this idea himself a couple of years ago. I'll try and contact him and let him know to contact Crossman if he's interested.

Garry, I agree with John. See if this can be moved to the general target section.
