Hi bob, we shoot seated. Only the front of the rifle can be supported. See you all soon.

When you visit us next time we will let you have a chair to sit on.

Paul and I are far too young to need a chair - but we like it make you comfortable

That sounds great, maybe some kind of refreshment would be good also !!!

Well, we have been bench rest shooting for a season now.Our results are mixed also, hi mag scopes, a mixture of air rifles,.177 and.22 together with .22 rimfire. Our best scores are in the high 90's and an occasional 100, yet, looking at the results from some other clubs I would like to know what they are using, with results all over 100 and many 100.1s. All our bench rest shooters are very experienced so I wonder what we are doing wrong? Any suggestions gratefully received. We normally shoot light sport rifle and regularly in the medals in ORA, MSL and Cumbria Northumberland leagues.

Ray,
I assume the comps your people shoot are all under NSRA rules?
Perhaps it would be quicker if you gave a rundown of the kit (in particular the front rest) used and the method your people adopt re grip.

I regularly shoot benchrest competitions. Benchrest requires precision and mm can mean the difference between 9 or 10 score or a 10 and a 10.1 (or X). Preparation as in all disciplines is key. I have heard people say that they don't know how a 200 is regularly scored, well it's the things I have mentioned, together with being a good shot, ability to shoot under pressure and things like good triggering. I also shoot FT (badly) but the same applies in that discipline although its a bit physically demanding.
