Steve, I know loosing your hair throws your balance off. Least it did me and 6-8 other shooters I know.Jerry...Don't you know that getting a haircut throws your balance off...at least I've used that as an excuse on several occasions
How's Ralph??

Competitive Benchrest shooting?
What constitutes "competitive benchrest shooting"? A bonified sanctioned event? Or, would it be considered "competitive benchrest shooting" at a non-sanctioned event at you local range? Or, how about a bunch of guys and gals (30-40 shooters) in a cow pasture (not a range) shooting off portable benches in annual and semi-annual events?

Leave it....I don't compete. Always wanted to, but sold all my BR rigs as I just had too many hobbies and no time or $$$$ to travel. Only got one screamer in all that time and I shot for pure fun and to unwind.
When people ask how I like San Antonio being from "deep South TX", I tell them it's a 3-4 hour ride north....heck, it takes me 5 hours+ just get to Jackie's neck of the woods.
Decided I would stick with hunting and fishing until my Daddy duties are over. I may try it down the road if things come together, but I don't see it now. I still enjoy coming on here and looking over what you guys tackle. I see no reason for another forum & would just move the threads that don't comply over to the general, hybrid, gunsmith, etc.

That picture gives justification for IBS to tighten up membership requirements

Group vs. Score Forum.......
I don't see the need for another forum for competition benchrest vs. "other?" benchrest.
What may be acceptable would be specific forums for Group Benchrest vs. Score Shooting Benchrest. But even then many of the fundamentals are the same in both diciplines. The only reason I can see for the separation woud be to provid a more direct lookup of information on one dicipline vs. the other if a person was needing a specific type of information as relates to either dicipline. Examples may be 30 BR vs. 6PPC or information about a specific event.
Hope this is helpful.
Respectfully submitted,

So:
To be a competitor, ya gota be a winner?
I read on one a these forms a couple years ago that some gunsmith on the East Coast was suppose to have said: "Everyone who shoots in a match is a winner. The only losers are those who don't step up to the line and shoot the match".
I like his definition of WINNER. To me it's a form of encouragement that could get and keep new people in the benchrest game. And: We need new shooters. We seem to be loosing more shooters than we are gaining.
What do ya call the guys who plan, organize and run the matches? Without them there ain't no matches, and no winners or losers.
There should be another name: A name for the guys who recruit new shooters. They have an important job. If they don't succeed, the game dies.
There are lots of losers out there. I think it's the fear of loosing that keeps them away from our matches. Help some of them to adjust their at attitude and think like that east coast gunsmith and our sport will grow.

i'll go back to my original idea....
dump this,
and politely moderate the benchrest forum, moving off topic posts to a more correct forum.
no need for a secong forum.
and if winning is the only "competition", who are all the other shooter that shot in the winners match ?.......
sorry lets move on...

When did this appear
I wonder how many people don't know about this new forum. Today is the first time I have found it, and that was only because of a friend who got me searching.
Sorry I am so slow.

?, yes it has been hidden from view by being right up front.
Everybody knows that is the best way to hide anything.
One can moderter on their own by looking at the number of viewers on this forum.
Keep beating a dead horse, Wilbur!

I agree w/Jackie
I check out this site along with a couple of home machinist sites, every mornig cuz it is pretty much to the point.
I am not a bench rest shooter yet, hell the range I shoot at only has one bench, which I made!
I have asked a few questions which folks like "Jackie" have graciously answered.
I like the keep it simple approach.
Anyway thanks for listening.
Aloha, Les (outside lookin in)
