I want to get started (again) in benchrest

[Shooter13]

You are set up to have a lot of fun this spring & summer. Your location is roughly in the middle of UBR country. This year there will be at least one match every weekend within driving distance. Dry Branch, near Lafayette TN -1st Saturday, BGSL, 1st Sunday, I think. Red Brush, Newburgh IN-2nd Saturday, also Dead Zero-Sparta TN - a little further. 3rd Saturday- Buck Creek SE of Somerset. 4th Saturday- Rocky Rd, Jonesville VA. Also, John will tell you when their range at Junction City will be shooting. Should you feel the need to travel there are quite a few more, just further out. All you need is powder & bullets and a little gas money. You should be good to go.

Rick

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Lord knows I have enough powder to start a small war! Bullets? Yep, Barts, Bergers and Metgzers (spelling), so yea, I'm good and ready!

Just had an IBS shoot at Manatee today. A few from Naples regularly shoot there. January 26-27 is next. It's a two-day IBS shoot at Manatee. If you are still working in Naples, visit.

Manatee is off Rt. 64 just east of Bradenton/Sarasota.

I have a new 6PPC built in 88 by James Messer (deceased) that has a Hall action, I had it out a couple of weeks ago for the first time and after sight in shot an 8 shot bughole at 60 yards (I was still at the sight in distance) and was impressed with it. Oh, what is UBR? See I told you I've been out for a long time! LOL

I have a ppc built by James in '91 and dang that thing SHOOTS!!!!!!. tenth of an inch groups are still .1 no matter when the rifle was built bryant
ps: welcome back

 

[ttfreestyle]

Well, the truth is he bitches a lot. He would be a little happier if his wife didn't shoot better than he does. I don't think $$ can fix that.

Sorry Troy, I couldn't help myself.

Rick

Well ya gotta call it like it is I reckon.

Thank you! James was a good guy, we both had auto parts stores at that time. I met him at the VA state championships in 88-89? I placed 29th (my first shoot) and was tickled out of my mind! We loaded everything at the shoot and yes the gun I have from him (had 2) is a real shooter, going to the range on Wednesday!

I've been trying to find a used a Farley rest, like finding hens teeth! I also looked at a Seb with no luck, anyone use the Sinclair?

You can find a used farley by the next match if you watch the classifieds close and put out a wtb ad

Really? I tried to find him this past year and saw an obituary of his name and town in NC, are you sure it's not his son?

Yea I’m sure

 

[Shooter13]

Yea I’m sure

That is great! Glad to hear.

 

[TonyinKY]

I just saw "Red River Gorge!" man you are close! If you are in Lexington before the 4th of Jan let me know I'll buy a coffee and pick your brain! LOL

I’ll send you a pm with my phone number. These guys are the best and will do anything to help you out but when the command “commence fire” is heard it’s every man for himself. If you win here you can can ANYWHERE!

Will do! Promise not to laugh at my old stuff!

 

[Greyfox]

No one will laugh at your stuff. My Modified rifle is a sleeved 722 that's almost as old as me and my Unlimited is a sleeved XP, not quite as old but still ancient. Old stuff is still good stuff.
