1000 yard benchrest loads

10 shots per match plus 6 sighters 16 x 4 is 13, so 13 is what u needs

That sure is Fuzzy math..... If you shoot on a computer, it doesn't matter...... jim

nope i usually needed just 16 rds at OPBC to shoot.... back then they only shot 1 day. maybe 30 if you got in a shootoff...now they have matches on Sat & Sun so if you shoot the same gun maybe 50 rounds

That's awesome!

Actually putting rounds down range is why a lot of the younger crowd goes for the prs type matches. It isnt much of a crowd building match shooting a couple targets then getting a dq for getting blown off the target after driving 5-900 mi.

That is why I like NBRSA 600 and 1000 yd BR. Each match consists of three 5-shot and three 10 shot groups, plus sighters before each record target. And we compete for both group and score

that's what i was gettin at lol, I like shooting at PA don't get me wrong just along way to shoot 15 shoots, back in the old days..... unless you won a relay, I'm going to try and shoot at Tenn this year hopefully, I have a 6XC I'm working on, but it's fun especially if you win a relay and place.... it's a good feeling especially someone just starting the rd to A FAR PIECE

 

[6MMsteve]

at ORG Penn 1000 yd BR club you would need for Saturday 25 rds if you get in a shootoff..... Sunday 35 rds if you get in a shootoff

We shoot 10 shots for record in light gun, not 5. Matt

I didn't know thought it was 5.... I guess 75 rounds right at least, there are so many different things anymore, I guess when your out of touch it shows, thanks for the info

Then you have the luck of the drew for relay, one bad one you are done at 1000
. Conditions play out to be the major factor, for a the win. Where the relay win is the fairest and all the relay winners go head to head on the same relay in the same conditions for the win.
600 in the IBS is a four target agg. 5 shot for group and score in light and heavy,,,,, jim

 

[dkhunt14]

Matt
What happened to light gun 5 shots x3 targets and heavy gun 10 shots x3 targets??
I'm confused

We are Williamsport and shoot 10 shots heavy and 10 light. Then shootoffs if you win your relay for score or group. That was the amswer for post 32. Matt

The relay draw evens out and dealing with conditions is part of being a shooter. That and you don’t get kicked off the field if you miss a condition and have a shot off paper—-like with IBS. Also, you don’t have to constantly set up then pack up your gear, AND you get to shoot more.

The relay draw evens out......

Here are resent NBRSA 600 and 1000 results that proves to me how the NBRSA aggregate/relay draw DOES NOT even it out





This is the main reason I have not traveled to and attended a NBRSA-1000 event in over 10-years. Seen the unfairness in it when I did.

 

[INTJ]

I shot that match. The relay lineup you show is incorrect. There were four relays. I personally shot fourth relay the first day and first relay the second at 1000. I was second and third relays for 600. I wound up #6 at 600 and #12 at 1000. Meaning over the four days I shot in all four relays. Had this been an IBS match I would have DNQ’ed the first day at 1000 HG when a squib load didn’t make it on paper.

Often conditions are different on different benches in the same relay—seen that often. The only way to make it truly fair is to shoot in a tunnel.........

When you look at big picture, the same shooters seem to rise to the top over the long run. They do better than others regardless of the relay they shoot.

@INTJ
Sadly, no format being used is perfect and all are not without some unfairness. But the "Relay qualifiers to a Shoot-off" format (used in the IBS-1000 and Penn1000), and the "Relay Ranked" system (used at the Montana Championship's) are the fairest - IMO.
Each to our own here and respect your opinion. I myself feel the NBRSA formats are the unfairest of the 3 sanctioning bodies.
