FREEDOM BENCHREST

[jackieschmidt]

Sounds simple enough in the quest to be in the Shooter of the Year program.

You can attend as many matches as you wish. If the Range, (Club) is recognized by Freedom Benchrest, your score, (figured the same way as IBS), will be recorded. At the end of the year, your best five scores will be compared to everybody else’s best five, the best score is declared FB Shooter of the Year.

A shooter has to submit at least five matches, but can shoot as many as they are able to arrive at the best five.

Is that about it?

Freedom Benchrest Championship Series 600 and 1000 Yard
The Freedom Benchrest 2023 series goal is to recognize the best Long Range 600 and 1000 yard shooters from all over the United States of America. No matter what organization or non-organization the shooter participates in. The Freedom Benchrest 2023 series will be a series of matches held all over the USA to determine who is the Best Long Range Benchrest shooter.
The 2023 rules are simple. The clubs run by the rules of the organization they chose to be affiliated with. The Freedom Benchrest will have a point system based on the number of shooters in the match and the position in which the shooter finishes. Freedom Benchrest will use points from a shooters 5 best matches held at any participating range for both 600 and 1000 yards.
The Freedom Benchrest 2023 series will end on 8/20/2023. The Freedom Benchrest Awards will be presented for 600 yards at Vapor Trail Valley’s match on 9/23/2023 The Freedom Benchrest Awards will be presented for 1000 yards at Whitehorse Firearms’ match on 9/2/2023
For 2023 only the clubs and shooters will have no membership or match fees to participate. Sponsorships and donations will be gladly accepted.
Club will have to summit their results to Blake Wilson @ Mbwilson82@gmail.com.

I'm really hoping that next year more matches can be held in the OH/MI/IL/IN area. I would love to come out and cheer people on.

Two questions:

1 can the rules be posted again? I can't get the one on page one to open.

2 is there a website that has all the information? Does it list the matches placed and dates with times. That's one way to get new people to the matches.

Thanks,
Forrest

Hi Clay, so our range just completed a new long range firing line. We still need to improve our pit\target area. We are shooting clays on the ground and steel plates at the moment. After shooting live pits at Sac Valley and White City is is very apparent that live pits are a much better way to get accurate feedback during the sighter period as apposed to shooting a steel plate that is already marked up. Unfortunately our range will never have the resources to build live pits and while I love working the pits and seeing the drama unfold many of the older shooters don’t care for it. This is a prototype I have built for our club and we are in the process of fund raising. Our hope is that the right side of this will be a shot marker target system for the sighter target and the left side will be our record target. Then each competitor can get accurate sighter info on each shot as compared to shooting a steel plate and hitting a previous mark and not knowing for sure where their impact was. I think will will be much better than what we have and a good alternative for the ranges that can never have a live pit setup.

Have you guy tried this format out yet?

Getting ready for our first BR match using etargets for eyes at 600, record targets will still be pulled and measured by hand. The etargets will allow all the shooters to see hits on both the sighter target and both record targets.



Most of our shooters are super excited about bringing the benefits of etargets (in this case shotmarker) to long range benchrest.
Special thanks to Adam MacDonald for helping us with this setup.

Hi Clay,
Please keep us updated on the use of etargets for 600 long range benchrest.

I honestly cannot wait to hear the feedback. Being able to accommodate for your shooters at your range to have the opportunity to see sighters, for once, has to be exciting for the shooters. Best of luck, high scores and tiny groups to all! The future is bright!

So is the sighter the bottom target? Sorry for the dumb question

Hi Clay,
Not yet. We are still working on range improvements and are making progress. We are still working on getting some ShotMarker units for our sighter targets as well. Just a little hard to come by the funding so far.

Hi Clay,

With three targets on each frame. Did you have Adam configure a template with your three target setup and that lets you keep track of all three on one frame? I’m running my personal unit with his standard IBS 600 and 1000 yard target templets and center our paper NBRSA targets on the frame,but we only have one center point calibrated. Curious how you set that up.
Thanks, Joe

 

[Mulligan]

Good morning,
Yes, Adam agreed to establish this three target configuration for Freedom Benchrest.
Joe, the local shooters are bringing their personal Shot-Marker systems for this match. That is also how the local 600 and 1000 yard F-class matches are ran. We simply “team up” and get it done. Extra bases are $35.00 a set and then you have the cost for coroplast and frames. I bet this sort of thing is doable for many ranges.

@shoot4fun, @DJSBRS, this may be something we could do if enough members have Shotmarkers.
