Yesterday was my first short range BR match

[Mulligan]

Wow, what an experience!!!!
These guys (Landsend Benchrest Club, Whitewater Colorado) even have a catered lunch........and they stop shooting to eat in a civilized manner!
Lots left to learn but I have to say, the pace was quick. Those Ol’ duffers can still Get-R-Done!
Thanks @BoydAllen for the mentoring.
I didn’t finish last, didn’t cause a safety issue, helped set flags, and had a great time.

I have also been fortunate enough to have Boyd help me through the transition to short range bench rest. And yep, the bank account balance is much lower.

So far it’s not any worse than F-class......

Is there a shooting sport that’s cheap to play?

you get to sit, not lay down( getting up is the hard part)
no pit duty.

Good for you! I shot my first match a couple weeks ago at the Hogroast. I had the same emotion.

Wow! What an experience.

This game is a bit faster paced than I thought.
Of course loading at the range and the sport in general is completely new to me.
After day two, WOW still sums it up!!!
