FREEDOM BENCHREST

Dear Readers of this forum:
I would like to announce the formation of a new shooting organization called Freedom Benchrest. The purpose of this organization is the promotion of Long Range Benchrest exclusively. Our goal is a nationwide organization where the rules and direction of the Organization is determined by the Range Owners or their representatives. I cannot stress enough, the position of our Board of Directors is to manage and responsibly report to all legal authorities, to manage and present a website for our existing and potential new members, to record and present the history of Long Range Benchrest, to help and promote Long Range Benchrest in its entirety. Let me say again, the rules and operation of our matches will be decided by the majority vote of the Range Representatives.

We hope to offer a common sense approach to Long Range Benchrest and not a reproduction of existing standards and norms. We offer a relaxed set of rules with a priority towards ease of operation for Range Owners. We believe this will assist in the advancement of technology and performance of equipment and techniques that we use and value. We value the exchange of knowledge, theories and thoughts, while enjoying the friendship of a competitor.

We do not wish to replace any existing organizations. We simply want to give the ranges and shooters another way to look at Long Range Benchrest.

Another of our goals is to provide these services at zero cost to our members, no match fees, no club fees. At first we will be privately funded and then through advertising and sponsorship we hope to have enough revenue that we will not need to ask for additional funds.

Please take the time to read the included Rules and Letter.

As Always, please feel free to call any of the Directors.

Thank You

Freedom Benchrest

There won’t be records kept for 2023 while the clubs have different rules. In 2024 the clubs will follow the Freedom rules and we will record records.
Will those rules still allow a club to shoot 10 shot HG if they want to Jim?

The HG 1000 yard match, as I read it, would allow the club to decide between five and ten shots for record.
I see nothing that states that any club who fires it's first match as a five shot HG can't shoot teen shot matches during the year.
Interested to see how that would actually work.
 
Finally, scoring done right!!!

All Regular Season Matches will be a two-target aggregate for both Light and Heavy gun
competitions. To determine the two-gun group winner, the Heavy and Light gun groups will be
added together and averaged. To determine the two-gun Score winner, the Heavy and Light
gun scores will be added together.
 
I read through the rules, could you give us the readers digest version of the more common sense aspects and more relaxed atmosphere for ease of operation for ranges?
 
Hello fellow shooters
First of all I want to thank everyone involved in making this series and organization happen
second read this entirely before jumping conclusions. The rules are only something as a guide when ranges sign up and hold matches The competitors can discuss things with their match directors. And directors will meet on subject and can change by a majority vote. this organization will be ran by the shooters and match directors Totally different from anything you have ever been a part of. Emphasizing FUN and CAMARADERIE and of course competition shooting at its best Any questions that need answered please feel free to reach out

Looks great guys!
Finally something to promote and hopefully bring as many of the Long Range Benchrest clubs and organizations into one, easy to follow rules, which means less of them,
Don’t hamper innovation!
The 600 yard format as far as ties and points makes so much more sense to me anyway.

Congrats and thanks for all the hardwork and for promoting the long range community.

I’m postive Sara and I will enjoy the change
