Tim, My pleasure, it has been very refreshing talking with you. Happy New Year and, of course, stay safe. Regarding our sporters, from my knowledge, no-one is bedding with aluminum blocks. I have one very good stock made by Enda (Irish shooter), that I'm thinking converting it from a 2013...

I was thinking of something like this... We used it a lot on prone to use the same stock with different actions.

I have too, a small target dot on fine crosshairs, good! Funny enough I have on most of my scopes a cap with reduced diameter, as you described, to cut down light and increase depth of field. But never found caps that suit the Leupolds. Did you machine or bought them?

Hi Bruce, Thanks a lot for sharing your method and going deep on description. Here our sporter rounds are 20min, as for LV/HV. For these two I found it ok, but for sporter is a little tricky, adding more salt to the thing... Looks like a big dot is key, I'm afraid mine is on the small size. I'm...

Interesting Pete. According to the thread, how do you overcome the out of centre rims?

Tony, weight yes, has been increased to 8,5lbs (3855gr), but power still limited to 6,5x Funny enough majority of competitive rifles here are all around 3400~3600gr Next 2023 Worlds, being postponed from 2021 because of COVID19, congress will be held and same rule propositions changes will be...

Thanks for the enlightening. So we are all on the same boat. Good!

Holding and holding off As said, it's not easy for all to center a dot in a white circle, even if human eye is quite accurate cantering circles. ISSF and compound archery disciplines use this ability a lot... But a different approach has been presented and should be tried out. I will at least...

I invite you to take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL_1IcdIyY4idz_ghvCT3zw you'll be surprised... Physiology and brain decision plays a very different role between those two movements. You'll be surprised too... I'm not trying to convince anyone. I just share my experience with...

for sure you never did archery at high level :cool:

I use this arm pull, and not finger pull, because it gives me the best release possible, and a perfect followthrough. But be aware, all my triggers release around 1 oz... For benchrest, the 1st thing is trying the lightest trigger possible. If it's not, holding in some form the rifle, is the answer.

Apart from technique it's also liaised to body size. Me, being a small person, cannot shoot other than the rifle side. I don't touch anything expect the trigger. Release and follow-through are done by pulling the arm back, not by the finger.

I totally agree with you, that warning someone who miss a target is (should be) good ethics in our sport. However, I was almost crucified, with attempt to disqualify me on that match, after telling a fellow shooter he missed one... I believe we should win fairly and not by others raw mistaques...

Mike, one thing that puzzles me is on air rifle, all power confounded, no one is using barrel tuners... Can you comment on this?

Fantastic achievements Mike! Not wanting to know everything :cool:, but can you let us know a couple of things... Power used... Cylinder max pressure... Number of shots...

Great post Tony What you described is all about attitude. And attitude is the hardest thing to change... The thing is... without the right attitude you'll never win. We can divide the benchrest, or any sport, approach into three main categories. For this purpose I would not group by shooters...

Thanks Pete! I'm not better nor worst than others, I just do a lot of F2F trainings and virtual ones to try to develop benchrest around here. I use all international matches to talk to friends and great shooters and try to learn the more I can. Also, forums have been, alongside with a lot of...

Tony, I feel like you... and sorry to hear that sad news. My rifles too, have names, and when something happen to them I feel strange to say the least. Like a person, after a surgery or prothesis, the original name remains the same... so, the rifle should maintain its name... if you know what...

Are we different? Do we perform differently? Do we think differently? Let's look at other shooting disciplines for a moment... ISSF is all about coaches... Archery is all about coaches... Why benchrest is different? Maybe our age range is the difference... benchrest doesn't have a school...
