New Benchrest League Starting 2020Tired of shooting offhand or from the prone position?Having problems with the shakes or getting up once you get down?Try sitting in a comfortable position and shooting off a stable platform. Sound good, then ARPC’s Benchrest League is for you!0000Now that we’ve got your attention, please read on.Seriously, benchrest shooting is a very precise sport where individuals attempt to shoot 5 bullets into the smallest group possible (all in one hole). Winning scores in competition are determined by how well each competitor achieves this goal or in other words, how closely the shots are grouped. Shooters make use of a front and rear rest for their rifles, and the rests sit on a solid table or bench, hence the name "benchrest."There are two types of competition; rimfire at 50 yards and centerfire at 100 yards. Individuals can compete in either event or both. Format for both events consists of shooting a five shot group at each of five targets. Monthly score is based on the shooters tightest group out of the five. End of year score/ranking is based on an average of the four best monthly scores.Any safe rifle is allowed and ideally should be equipped with a scope of 32X or greater magnification. Additional equipment includes adjustable front rest and fixed/solid rear rest; sleds are not allowed. The Benchrest League will meet the 3rd Sunday of the month, April thru October, at the benchrests located on the far right of the Barnes 100 yard range. The start/finish times are yet to be determined.Sound interesting? Contact Richard Durant at nabalab@ so he can get your name and email address. An organizational meeting will be held in mid to late July and practice shoots will be scheduled for September and October. ................
