    Sporter Class NBRSA

    I am not all that wild about a new class...BUT if you want to do something interesting then go with Bob Brushingham's suggestion - lighter. Yeah, 8# is about right. Using the knowledge (and components) the BR game has developed in the last few decades on a what would be a hunting rifle...

    Paul Ryan passes....

    Paul Ryan, 77, succumbed to a long battle with cancer on March 28th. Paul was an incredibly fine gentleman who graced the IBS circuit for MANY years. Back in the day, he was a tough competitor, but more importantly he was just a "great guy". Whether it was at a big match or a South Creek...

    Brady Knight has Passed away

    I am very sorry to hear of Brady's passing. Although I did not know him well, I seem to recall him most clearly riding in his golf cart at the Shamrock with a big smile. Always a big smile. Jeff

    What were competitors using 50 years ago?

    I believe the corporation was registered in Maine because of Doc Garcelon who lived there I believe. IBS's core was NY/PA for many years. Now, of course we spread to Montana (1000 yard), Georgia (1000) and have three clubs in MO shooting 600 yard (as well as SD, MN, WI). Long range...

    What were competitors using 50 years ago?

    The IBS was created in 1970. That list looks like the last of the Mohicans. Wallace "Wally" Hart is still around, but not sure if any of the others are. Or course, we lost Mike Walker a couple of years ago. Attached is a photo of Mike Walker at the 2009 IBS Nationals. It was a proud day...

    Got My Wife A New Glock 27 For Her Birthday

    Glocks are good (I have a 34). Also have a HK USP Expert 9. Like the HK better (more $ though). Also has a safety so you can carry in condition 1 if you want (ala 1911).

    Growing the IBS

    Gerry, You castigate the IBS leadership and offer no solutions other than shooter classifications. Go up in this thread. Did you print out the "Would You Like To Shoot The Most Accurate Rifles In The World" and post it at you local gun shop? How have 'we' boosted score over group? Did you...

    Growing the IBS

    Not sure how this misnamed thread rose from the dead some three years hence. At any rate the new BR thread is at: http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?93954-Thoughts-on-Benchrest-Competition/page10

    Thoughts on Benchrest Competition

    Al and Randy, Good thoughts. We simply don't have enough people at ours shoots to have classifications. The IBS recognizes Rookies, though, and give an annual award for the top one in the various disciplines.

    Thoughts on Benchrest Competition

    One more thing. The attached is on the IBS web site for downloading. It is a .pdf file that you can print out and post at your local gun club or gun shop.... Shooting disciplines come and go in popularity. Fifteen years ago, there were a number of silhouette shoots in my area. I could not...

    Thoughts on Benchrest Competition

    I just saw this thread. At the IBS we have been grappling theses issues discussed in this thread for a long time. At the moment, I don't have time to give you what we have done to promote BR. Yes, the matches are down in the short-range and probably the 1,000 game. 600 is growing, but...
