Sorry, Bill.  I'd like to shoot 30M, but I don't have 30M free space in the backyard.

Bill, That sounds like a challenge to me:) I'm open really open to any format...How about the OL' NRA 50yd target, 10 shots?    http://reloadbench.com/pdf/files/50yd%20NRA.pdf    You can also get pdf copy in the gta library.  Tony.

I would be happy to shoot a 30M bench rest with which ever target you all feel happy with! Nothing too small because I at least want to score a few points!

But I will take you guys up on the 30 meter springer bench rest shoot. But I will not be around at the end of week or the weekend. Going to the Texas Shoot for practice...:)

Gene: I thought you were just kidding...about a 10M benchrest.  Everybody would shoot 100-10X. LOL!!! Hey, may not a bad idea - that way we'll all be in FIRST PLACE! See you at NTAGM.

Bill: I don't have much more than 15 yards left for shooting in my backyard.  However, I may be able to interest a friend of mine into joining GTA and he's got a couple of acres to play on.  I'll shoot all matches I can, when I can.

If my bipod can count as a 'benchrest' I'll shoot 30+m when I can. Limited to 20y most of the time.

Is there a target yet? I have 30y today although I'll need to wait for the rain that's coming so the neighbors go inside!

Bill, I thought I would try out the  30m/100' distance so I could get a feel for what its like:) I shot this target today (pic)as a test , it is quiet a challenge and not sure its the right target for this event!  I do not have a bench rest so rested on hand rail... I will have to set up a bench for the match :)
   I still think possible larger target similar to the ISU 50Meter international (see here  http://reloadbench.com/pdf.html) row 13.. will help to catch all my wild shots and at least will get something for it  lol:)  I am of course open to any choice,  just happy to shoot a target . Not sure how many shots is normal , 20 ? Tony.

Tony - don't take this the wrong way but I was thinking a whole different direction (MUCH smaller).

This is what I shoot at from 20y off a folding table and my bipod. I touch 90% of the targets but prob only 40% of the bulls. If I pulled out the actual benchrest and adjusted it correctly. I think I'd do a bit better. I realize there are way to many targets on this page. Just showing as an example. Also, I have 2 of the target generators that are out there. throw me some specs and I'll build them.
