I'm looking now for a benchrest match near me so I can go and watch and maybe after that try factory class if they have one but there don't seem to be any near me in Bluffton, SC. I did find a few in Northern GA and I am trying to contact someone at those ranges to get match schedules. I might meet someone then who will give me some tips. Meanwhile, I like to read about benchrest.
Every book or manual I've read has shed new light to the subject. Be prepared for a massive input overload and countless "Aha!" moments.
My biggest take-away: The more I know, the more I realize how much more I still need to learn.
