    long range shooting ranges

    A 102 years too late, Creedmoor closed in 1910. :) I just went to Google maps. Wow, Creedmoor was pretty darn close to the City. I believe there is a state hospital where the famous matches were held in the late 1800s. Jeff

    If there is a specific question about membership, cards or whatever. Please contact Joan or I. This forum is the least effective way to get a problem resolved.

    Growing the IBS

    Vera and George - you nailed it: We all spend a lot of money to shoot for the same plaques and trophies, we’re not driving half-way across the country to shoot at either an IBS or an NBRSA match; we’re there to shoot with our friends. Jeff

    Growing the IBS

    Goodgrouper, no one is trying to "tone down" BR. By the way, the "split" occurred over 42 years ago! Right now the IBS long range program (600 and 1000 yard) is, far and away, the most active, vibrant and widespread program in the country. That pretty much goes for Score as well. The IBS...

    Russell, I am glad you started this thread. You have worked hard to help our sport and the IBS. Thank you for keeping the Precision Shooter of the Year points last year - a thankless task that deserves a public thanks here at BRC. Your thoughts are sound and well-reasoned, but something we...

    comments about the IBS proposed 10-ring change

    Jerry - the IBS made arrangements for all short range (group and score) and 600 yard targets. Orrville, reportedly, has a problem with getting the current paper, but that is unconfirmed.
