1000 yard IBS agg Match

[dkhunt14]

Even though the grandfather's and father's brought the junior shooters with them and made them shoot. I have not seen a single junior shooter stick with it after they got so old. Some of them were really good and won a lot. As soon as they got about 16 or so they were done shooting. Matt

I do like the idea of breaking it up into different classes so a first year or two(or whatever) shooter does not have to compete against the long time veterans. Maybe after you get so many IBS points you move up to another class to compete in?

Larry -
Take the technology (money) out of benchrest, and you might as well call it something else, because it won't be benchrest. All these things you want, there is other shooting disciplines already have them. Think you should pursue other disciplines other then Benchrest, since its obvious benchrest is not for you. And stop trying to change IBS-600/1000 benchrest into something its not.

Larry, I think you need load a 100 rounds and go north to Georgia and give the IBS a try. It don't get any closer than Cool Acres. Then you can tell everybody you tried it, instead of the Gong show. You will find like trap they can buy what they need, no actual work involved. All you do is shoot and mostly on somebody else's dime, you can get get good but when they have to pay for it themselves, it stops. jim

 

[Ga. Dawg]

Yes, I'm driving like 39 hours. Come up the road and shoot! Mike said he would teach me how to communicate with the locals, so I guess I'll have to be kind enough and give him a free shooting lesson! Lol, after Dave gets done with him

Tom

Whew, Mike's gonna be busy. LOL

I don't need to go to Georgia to find out how me and my gun shoots all it takes is a IBO target and a air boat. It won't be pretty shooting over that much wet grass and water . I shot in Pennsylvania And had a great time . But I learned you don't take milk cow to a horse race. I was finishing my 3 shot when the guy next to me was picking up his gun. The way I see it the 3000 mile trip I would of shot two guns and 40 shots in a minute . Sorry not my thought of fun . Thanks for the offer enjoy Larry

There.. prime example why Larry's input to IBS1000 is hideous, and nothing more then a self serving muck.

 

[johara1]

Larry, i guess you told me all i needed to hear. Better stick to the gong show and 2 shot groups……. jim

 

[johara1]

Tom, Take your salt pills…….. LOL… jim

If you had of listen I have changed my story . I also have added more class could increase the attendence . Mabey a fun shoot after .
I'm not knocking your sport in anyway .
If it was a couple hrs away it would be something I would enjoy.
If I'm going to take 4 days it will be camping with my family . Good luck shooting Larry

Williamsport tried fun shots. Clay birds, eggs, balloons and even 600 yard. It all failed. Now they are shooting 22 rim fire at 200 yards. Guess they didnt like loading all the shells. Matt

I will bet they will look at a class for new shooters . Nobody can say they don't try . Wished I was 22 hours closer . What a great bunch . I never talked to a prima donna

Hahaha I don't know a lot, but one thing I know to be a FACT is the east coast 1000 yard crew are not a bunch of pricks like you make them out to be. I haven't shot in Montana or vapor trail, but every single time I've asked any of those guys for advice they have helped me. I knew nobody in the ibs 1000, but my wife and I went to Georgia and were treated like family the whole time. You may not like the rules, or the format but saying there's an issue with the people discredits everything you say. I guess they probably treated me well because I didn't show up, start blabbing about all my accomplishments, world records, and how they're doing it wrong. We don't play all those games you think are going on, we show up, shoot, best man wins, then we all go have supper and do it again the next day.

just my 2 cents, been here in fl, shot with larry many of times, the hole problem is by constantly changing rules to try to fit what sounds good in and changing it 2 weeks latter is part of the reason why there is decent shooting at that area.

7 years we never had a rule change we went from 4 shooters to 20 . When the rule Change started it went to 4 to 6 Chris your correct . Thanks Larry

 

[swed6.5]

well any way I would rather drive across the country to find a sanctioned structured well ran match any day, than show up to a match that is not formatted to be competitive with others. that's it!

That is great and your choice
I wonder how the others feel Larry

 

[Alex Wheeler]

IMO, Benchrest is what it is. You either love it or you don't. I dont think we need to make it more appealing by changing it. We need to expose more to it.

So this thread went from trying to get attendance up and suggestions on a from at that works for the IBS 1k guys to a pissing match and a no it all from a member here that has never shot in the said format this thread is about. 7 pages later and still no real world solution on a good compromise. Come on guys if you can't help don't even comment. If you've never shot IBS 1 k while the H*** are you trying to offer or change how it's done?
Now I'm off my soap box and I hope a solution can be found. If there were a range closer to me and more shooting I'd be there each time.
