You are correct BH. “Pods” are impossible to preload and “un-torque” exactly the same way 25x per target card. Then add cheek, shoulder n finger.

Mythbusting Precision BR

Tony, could you give us some data as to the average score increase that you have attained by using a 1 piece rest?

You can get a brand new PQP lite one piece rest for 600$.This is my winter project. I want a one piece that will satisfy me but can't afford a good one, so I am to build it. I have a big Miller & various drill presses etc.. No mill but I'll still pull something off
Should be fun.
I look at BR sorta like F1, if your not on the bleeding edge your out..
It's actually less than a good bipod and bag.
If you are patient you can probably find a used one in the 400$ range.

No Tony, not in this particular discipline.
This is not about tactile feel and control but rather reading surrounding conditions and gun abilities.
There are other disciplines that disallow sleds etc. and they have different opinions but in this case, it is what it is and it's a difficult pill to swallow for some.
It's a rich man's game.
As a peasant, I can't play.

When I hear most people say they can't afford precision benchrest....what they really mean is that they cannot afford it in addition to what the already have spent on shooting things that are not good enough to compete with. In almost all cases, everyone that says this has spent way more on multiple platforms, parts, and support equipment than a competitive precision BR setup would have cost.

I don't want bipod anything for BR. I want a rest with quickest setup that does what it supposed too with exceptional precision. I like old school BR stocks & currently on a barrel mission which is easy to roll thru on RAW actions.

Surely you read this before you posted it? While correct in fact and form, this only serves to push those away that may have tried to compete.

Just re-read your posts but look through the person's eyes your writing to.
The wording is overall demeaning even if you meant it to be uplifting. I'd change that personally.

People of all income levels above basic poverty find ways to do what they want to do if it means something to them. When I was dirt track racing I watched guys go without electricity so they could buy a drum of fuel or some new tires....and their spouses were on board with it.
Every sport takes a time investment to be any good at it. If there's something out there that allows the average person to be good with no time...it must be really popular....and ultimately meaningless.
This thread is meant to do exactly what the title says.

^ I would prefer this. Not that it would change the names at the top of the leaderboard, but that it would make BR competition more of an organic endeavor.
My 25 year old nephew is getting interested in BR, and as he's looking at the current equipment, he's already thinking of building an electronic servo driven shooting rest for windage and elevation, attaching a "Go Pro" to a scope, and shooting from a laptop, only having to interact with his air rifle to load it. In fact, he can't understand why this isn't already being done.
Is that where things are headed?

I had dinner last week with a couple who's liquor bill, before food, was 50 USD less than what I paid for my PQP Lite 1-piece rest.
They both also smoke and they both complained about high costs.

I have their web site up now & I am pleasantly surprised at the fair pricing.
Is N50 unlimited ?

He can do that now if he wants...but he won't shoot any better so who really cares? Why rain on his parade for no good reason.

This post is NOT about shooting from a bench, it is about PRECISION Benchrest shooting:
1. So if any monkey can set up their rifle on a sled and shoot good groups , then you can borrow 1 of my sleds and we can watch you spank @thomasair butt, I will gladly send a banana with the sled for free.
2. The individuals who are the best at shooting off bipod and bag shoot PRS and NRL22, so you have absolutely no need or reason to enter a Precision Benchrest competition with a bag and bipod.
3. Once you have won some major PRS/NRL22 events then go for the Mammoth Sniper Challenge. Win this and all us monkeys will eat a banana in your honor.

I would check the rule book on the N50 website to be sure.
You should also order the disc foot pads.

Id nearly bet mike could outshoot him and his bag/bipod, offhand, standing beside the bench. This guys trolling. End of the day, rules are the exact same for everyone playing. Dont like the rules, find another game to play, or better yet, start your own game.
