IBS Benchrest School
The 2008 International Benchrest Shooters School is a reality. Parts are falling into place. It will be held on the weekend of June 20-21-22, 2008 at the Tawas Range of Iosco Sportsman's Club in East Tawas, Michigan. The schooling begins at 6:00 PM on Friday and continues until the last shot of the IBS sanctioned 100 yard score aggregate is fired on Sunday afternoon. There will be fun, instruction, and merchandise prizes. This school is intended for the beginner and intermediate shooter. At this point you can contact me for further details. I'll soon have the registration forms ready but that is yet to come. As the Tawas area is a vacationers' mecca, you will need to make motel reservations in advance. I'll post the nearby motels soon.There is limited camping space available at the range with limited electricity and water available. There is no pump out facility there, however. There are a couple bathrooms but no showers in the clubhouse. There is a kitchen inside and a barbeque pit outside where we will cook our steaks on Saturday evening.

With this school we plan on pairing students with instructors. But The beginning of the school will be taught with everyone together. By doing this, we will be able to give eveyone the same Safety Briefing, the same History of BR briefing, the same Bench Etiquette briefing, and the listing of times and schedule for the school. After that is taken care of the instructors will break off to go teach their students. From there, each instructor can key on things they feel most important with their students. The rest of Saturday is for instruction, Sunday is the match. Students and Instructors will shoot. There will be Awards, Trophies and a Merchandise Draw as well. The school will cover briefly Long Range BR,,600 and 1000) yards, and also Short Range Group shooting,100 to 300), but it will Key on IBS Score shooting, both Hunter and VFS style. This school is a Non Profit school for us,Francis and Paul). We Volunteered to do this, like we have for the past few years for the Postal Matches. Any profits from this school will be split by the IBS and The Iosco Sportsmen's Club.
