well id like to say hello to everyone first.
my name is Mick Godwin ''goddy''
im 25 an live in Queensland Australia.
by no means am i new to shooting or hunting ive done lots in my past.
i am new to bench-rest, i have decided to take this sport up in the last few months but im faced with a challenges from the get go, you see i haven't fired a rifle in 5 years or done much at all really. well ill get tom my point in 2003 i broke my neck leaving me in a wheelchair as a c5 quadriplegic, it was a freak accident Christmas day on a slip n slide mat ''kids toy, tarp soap water'' well full of bundy rum me an a mate had a chicken run where we went head first at each other on the slide and i ended up broken. STUPID you all think yes i say so too, but my life was no play it safe game i was a pro bull rider and worked on property's as a ringer, i hunted pigs with dogs an a knife did all sorts of wild fun things, so it took me by surprise getting taken out on a kids toy.
well 5 years on and i have found one thing so far thats up my ally and thats shooting. due to being on wheels and movement issues i figured bench is the go. i went out to our local range on saturday night an had a go with a Anschutz .22 @ 50 meters and found with a caldwell fire conntrole rest an my custom finger splint i was shooting great in no time. ill add picks.
i have bourght a ruger 77/22 an plan on makeing a go at this sport ill add details an picks of it too.
only things im stuck with is scope choice an if i should chage the stock down the track. but a scope is first off, im thinking somthing in the 10-40x50 range or 30x40 fixed but there is so many breeds out there an what one to go with.
