The Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club is pleased to announce it will hold a Benchrest 101 clinic on May 14, 2011 at the club. This clinic provides an introduction to Benchrest shooting. The focus will be on short range (100-200 yd) group shooting using center fire rifles. This clinic wll appeal to the accuracy enthusiast who is serious about entering the world of competitive group shooting.
If you are the type of shooter who takes great pains in loading your ammo, measuring your groups, recording and analyzing load data, and strives to find the next improvement in grouping capability we want you! If going to the next level means competition, then we want you! If you have heard about BR but didn’t know how to get involved, then we want you!
You will need to book the full day away. We will start at around 9:00 AM with the morning taken up in the clubhouse discussing the basics of Benchrest shooting, such as brass prep, reloading, cleaning, the match format, among many other topics. There will be a lunch break and then in the afternoon there will be an informal group shoot using competition rifles and rests, wind flags, and coaches to help get you going. Each student will shoot 3 targets, and they will be scored, with aggregates given, just like a regular match. We expect to be done at about 4:00 PM.
All you need to do is bring your hearing protection, lunch and refreshments. For the informal group shoot the rifle will be provided, along with all the other equipment necessary to shoot a match. A coach will be assigned. There is no need to bring a rifle or sand bags etc.
Depending on availability of spare rifles, coaches etc we will likely limit this to about 10 shooters. I would recommend people sign up early.
Feel free to call or e-mail if you have any questions.
