For me it would be the Alberta Provincials. The year 2009 was one I will never forget. I believe I had everything that could go wrong in benchrest do it to me. From scope to rest, to rear bag the only time I could shoot a group was with my rail gun. This is the kind of year everyone who shoots bench rest has or will have. I had hit the point of just selling it all and quiting. But decided to change a few things and shoot the last match of the year which was the provincials. The first match of the morning started out bad for me, but as it progressed I started getting more confidence that my equipment was all working and shots were finally going with the condition. After the first match I was in last place, but I was used to that so decided to just knuckle down and try to place first in the rest of them. Going from last place to second place in the three gun made me forget about the rest of the year and quitting a great sport.
for any shooter sho hits a year like this it can and will be frustrating, but you have to work through it. As one shooter told me " You can't quit." you just have to work through it and fix one thing at a time.
May we all have a great 2010 and see another growth in Canadian Bench Rest.
