I hope this competition is a success. Benchrest is saving target-shooting in this country by encouraging new shooters and letting elderly or disabled shooters to continue to take part in shooting.
Hear this all the time with all disciplines. Spoken to some people who think HFT is really easy and we are rubbish shooters. When challenged to come and show us how it's done the reply is usually along the lines of, 'there's no point, its too easy'

Wish you all the best with your benchrest competition. I really want to give it a go but got so much on, and nowhere close to shoot
