Thank you Bartlein barrels and Sightron scopes

[HarleyBaker]

For the last four years Bob White past president of the IBS, owner of the Shooters Corner gun shop and advertiser on Benchrest Central has ran a clinic to get new shooters interested in Benchrest and to come to our Benchrest matches. I have been fortunate enough to be an instructor at the last three clinics. This year we had Jeff Stover (present president of the IBS) as an instructor. The clinics are taught in three sessions basic,intermediate and a shooting competition. The information that is presented at the classes varies from the history of Benchrest, types of rifles, courses of fire, case prep, reloading, tuning,rest setup, reading the wind and much more. The last four years Alan Orr of Sightron scopes has donated a scope for a raffle and it is greatly appreciated. This year I spoke to Tracy of Bartlein barrels about what we were doing and would he and his company like to donate a barrel to the seminar.We spoke about the seminar and about the sport that both of us love. Tracy said why should he donate one barrel when we were having three classes and at that point he said that he would send me three certificates for the raffle. Giving back to our sport is is one of the things that everyone talks about but people like Bob,Alan and Tracy actually do. I thank Bob, Alan and Tracy very much

Nice post Harley. Thanks to all those you mentioned and all the others that don't just "talk the talk" but really do walk the walk. Glad to see the forward thinking of the IBS and their leadership. DW

I currently shoot two Sightron 10-50 scopes and five Bartlein barrels in various calibers. It is satisfying to know that good products are backed by good people. It pays all of us to support the folks that support our shooting sports.
