    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    That's interesting. At the above-referenced E-W shoot I was alone in the loading area the night before the 200 yd. matches, getting somewhat ready for the next day. In walks Tony, right up to my table; he reaches over and checks the lock ring on my scope, tightens it up and says something...

    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    My First Shoot On the Other Side of the River — After the above-described Super Shoot, I decided to go to the East-West Show Me Shoot Out, about 50 miles west of St. Louis. Sadly, my wife didn’t want to go, so I drove out there by myself, and slept in the back of my truck. My shooting results...

    What tool(s) do you use to check bullet seating depth? I use a "nut" that looks like this https://www.reloadingsolutions.com/products/sinclair-1-hex-style-bullet-comparator, and oftentimes get > .001 difference by measuring the same loaded round a second time. BTW, I hope to see you at RBGC in...

    It sounds like: (a) your clock is much more elaborate than any clock I've ever had; (b) your "zero" luck is about like mine, sometimes; and (c) your forgetfulness is also about like mine, sometimes — maybe it wasn't a waste if you learned something. :)

    We Remember

    With so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," I thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of them. Feel free to post name(s), year(s) of death, and age at death of your benchrest friends and acquaintances who have "left the range"; I'll add...

    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    My First Super Shoot — The year after the above-described Shamrock Shoot, I decided to go to the Super Shoot. I was excited about the trip, and my wife agreed to go also. My plan was to shoot the first two days and leave, unless I was in the upper part of the results list after those two days...

    My First Shamrock Shoot — The year after the match described immediately above, I decided to go to the Shamrock Shoot. I was excited about the trip, and my wife agreed to go also.
