INTERNATIONAL BENCHREST SHOOTERS
TACTICAL CLASS RULES
The intent and purpose of the TACTICAL CLASS is to promote inclusion within the IBS of another shooting discipline. While our initial goal was to create a set of rules that promoted the creation of the most accurate benchrest rifles possible, we wish to welcome those additional disciplines wishing to expand their knowledge, testing and friendly competition within. The 1000 and 600 yard Tactical Class is designed to help shooters that choose to use Tactical style rifles in a bench rest style match therefore realizing the absolute accuracy potential of this type rifle. The Tactical Class will be under IBS Guidance and 2021 will begin a trial or test run period of one year.
Tactical Class Rules are as follows:
All shooters must comply with all applicable rules associated with IBS relays and safety concerns.
Bolt action and Semi-Automatic rifles will be allowed. Semi-Automatics rifles must employ “Empty Chamber Flags” when not involved in an active relay.
All rifles must be fully functioning and capable of feeding loaded ammunition to the barrel/action from a magazine. No single shot rifles allowed.
All rifles may be fired in a single shot fashion. Caliber may not exceed .4 in barrel groove diameter.
Muzzle Brakes and Suppressors are allowed. (Range Owners may choose to prohibit rearward discharging muzzle brakes for safety reasons)
A bipod or sand bags may be used to support the front end of the rifle. Mechanical front rest will be allowed. Competitors using bipods must have rubber feet or protect the benches from damage. A sand bag may support the rear end of the rifle providing it does not restrict the rearward movement of the rifle during recoil.
All equipment used in the Tactical Class is subject to inspection by referees at any time during a match. Range Officials reserve the right to not allow participation due to any safety concerns.
All Matches, whether 600 yard or 1000 will follow their “Light Gun Course of Fire” as written in the current LR Rule Book.
All Ranges will employ the respective 600 and 1000 yard IBS SOY systems as described in the current LR Rule Book and current SOY Programs. For 600 and 1000 yard competition, in the year 2021only, at the end of the year, only the smallest single target Group and the highest single target Score will be recognized as a Record. In 600 yard competition, at the end of the year, only the smallest Group Agg and the highest Score Agg Record will be recognized as a Record. All other IBS rules pertaining to Records will be adhered to.
All Ranges have the option of running the “Tactical” Relays concurrently with other scheduled Relays or in Relays by themselves. The IBS LR committee will establish an independent SOY record keeping system inclusive of individual target records for score and group. Records will be verified according to present IBS LR rules.

Sorry Robbie it’s about the only date we can do it and I’m just wanting to give the factory and tactical guys and gals a weekend to them selves hopefully we will have a good turn out . 50 percent payback could really be big if we can get enough to come out as well as pick up a few sponsors as well.
On another note hope me and Donna can make it your way this year . Depends on how she does with her knee I owe you a couple matches some how I want to come and have Memphis time . Still got my official Memphis mafia hat .

It will be here before we know it . We will treat this match just like a national event combined 600 and 1000 . 8 targets at 600 and 3 targets at 1000 .
This is a great time for the Factory and Tactiygund to shine and see who has the best Factory gun in the country as well as the best tactical gun.
