I signed up for the Gunslyger Springer division. I think you shoot from a bench in that competition. I will watch HFT and see if I want to compete the following year. One thing is that the fees for each of the events are steep, especially for me, as I am assuming I will be one and done.
Once upon a time I entered a control line acrobatics contest and came in at 2nd place out of two pilots. 😁
When I got my trophy I was congratulated and I responded "yea great, last place", that's when the chief grabbed me and walked with me saying, "You beat a lot of people Harold" " you see those guys staring at you over there? They all fly here in your class, and didn't have the cahona's to enter to try beat you." "You beat every damn one of them."

You do shot from a bench but it's a speed competition. Who can knock the most critters down in so many seconds. Not benchrest.
 
Arizona EBR event has a 50 yd springer benchrest class. Its fun and a great group of people to shoot with. The class had fallen in popularity in say 2017 to 2019 but past the few years the class has filled up with plenty of people on the waitlist. Hopefully we will see more “spring up” (couldn’t resist) in the future. As to anyone waiting or contemplating entering a shoot of any discipline just go for it. I feel the amount you learn and experience gained in a competition setting is priceless.
