Just got back early from the biker bar. Rain and my Harley got soaked.
I am a "nothing" when it comes to competitive shooting. Steve (BT1) and Tom Anderson run the Manatee shoots. I'm just one of the grunts that show up to enjoy. Do have decades of shooting experience, am an NRA Instructor, Range Officer and spent two decades coaching a high school shooting team in Pennsylvania. Do a lot of long-range hunting and think long-range competitive shooting is wonderful
I have never had any experience or exposure to the sanctioned shooting competitions. Literally all the events, like F Class and the short and long-range benchrest activities are completely unknown to me. I have seen some short-range BR competitions and did both photography and articles on one. Never got introduced to any of the actual organizations and that would be my fault.
To my knowledge there is no organized benchrest activity in Southwest Florida to get involved with. Not sure I want to spend the time and effort to seek out distant places where it might be going on. If there are shoots at Manatee, I'm game. Otherwise, I'm just an older, experienced shooter.
