short Range Bench rest

Hello fellow shooters just got in from the Short Range Nationals in the unlimited class the 6 Dasher performed well but no where near  in the running, not even in the ball park. Basically had my ass handed to me.

I must say some fantastic results for some shooters and it certainly hones your skills pertaining to bench technique and also wind reading so i would encourage any Fly shooters to get to a short range match and give it a go lots of fun lots of bullets fired a really good event.

I will keep you posted as no doubt i will get a beating over the next few days.....

cheers Les

More results from the fly shooting fraternity i finished 3rd at 200 yards and 14th over all in Light Varmint. Glen Seaman is also shooting in the match so fly shooters are represented well. I have taken some photographs which i will post as soon as i get the chance to put them up. Cheers to all.

I will try and get the equipment list up here as well so folks can have a look at what is about and shooting well.

HI Jacko,

The forum is a good place for whatever form of shooting our members are doing..... It is good to see Les posting up how he finds short range as a long range bench rest fly shooter.... It gives us a perspective view of other types of shooting with gear that we already have.

The forum can also be used for general chat about any tpoic that might be useful or interesting to members..... it does not have to be restricted to 500m fly.

Cheers

Anthony

hi Jacko this is the 500mfly site so true i am trying to encourage as many people to try as many different forms of shooting as i possibly can and short range bench rest has alot of benefits to people just starting out in bench rest shooting such as load development, flag reading, group shooting to name a few.

As for this forum if you check most of the conversation threads i have actively tried to promote as much fly shooting topic as possible and you know what not many people post they just sit back and watch then snipe off little bits of the threads.

As for "how good i am" by putting my poor results up, true i should not put any of my own results up so i will take that on board.

Now for you, what active topics on FLY shooting are you going to put up looking forward to seeing your informed posts on this forum for everyone to view, comment and learn from.

As far as putting up results of other bench rest shooting some of the fly shooters may be interested in Short range but don't know anything about this sport so if i choose to post equipment lists and photo's on here i will do so, you or anyone else who chooses not to have a look at this thread is entirely the individuals call.

good shooting to all
