Thanks for the kind words John. How far do you have to drive to shoot in your BR matches? I wish we had a BR club nearby as well as a closer FT range ;-)

Jimmy, way to go. You now have the high score between us with that 247... My best was 244...Looks like your cricket is going to be a real winner for you. I will try when the Styer comes back. I might try this morn again with the FX,,,depends on the wind. I need to work on the 2 pistols for FT and make the wheel markers first....

Paul, it's strange how I have heard of the top bench rest shooters barely touching the gun? I do better with a firm grip on the pistol grip stock?

do your cross hairs move off the target when you shoot with out a firm grip ?
do you have to RE-aim each shot when shooting a group with out a firm grip ?
and does a firm grip solve these ?
watching the top shooters is definitely a learning experience

I would say that the cross hairs stay pretty much on POA without the firm grip.
Yes, I have to re-aim each shot because the lever action throws it off POA when I cock the rifle.
I'll have to experiment more with this. I guess I just feel more comfortable with my regular grip?

Jimmy, I believe if we talk to Jim Stanis, Mike Manabe and other top tier competitors we would get the same answers. Jim told me he takes as much of himself out if holding the gun as possible.
Also most of the guns have wide and heavy fore arms to for stability. Did you use the new front rest to shoot yesterday?

I've noticed that not having any contact with the rifle is difficult - I've been trying the eyes on- only and have noticed that when I place my cheek ever so slightly on the cheek rest,the scores improve --
i can't wait to try the Thomas to see if not having a cheek piece is a help or hindrance --
i also note that it is easier for me to gain sight picture acquisition when my cheek makes contact with the cheek piece
i don't use or make contact with the buttstock -
also for me, a good smooth lite 2 stage trigger makes a big difference - break around 2 ounces
note on target 21 - some staining - an unfortunate reptile ;-)
also another shot caused the wood backing to protrude through the hole?
didn't really have much time through the holidaze to shoot-

Paul, yes I used the new rest. It's a buggar bear to get used to ;-)

Yeah, it will focus below 9 yds. Amost 8 yds. But maximum focus is 55 yds. Everything is fuzzy after that. It's built specifically for Field target distances.
50 and 55 yd mark are still a little too close for me, but it's only a 5 inch wheel. I guess I could get one of those huge 8" nautilus wheels later, but want to see what I can do with this for now. The distance between 10 and 11 yds is huge. You can actually tell in half yard increments or less for yardages below 15 yds.
I don't even need a pointer I just use the space between the rings as my yard mark. That bottom pic ....the wheel is at 10.5 yd mark

Yeah, took me two separate evenings after work. Did 9 through 35 yds the first day and finished with 40 through 50 on the second. I just wish I could have got the little white stickers on more uniformly ? You should see some of the range tapes via the guys in our FT club. They did a post on the THAGC FB page if ya wanna see some nice ones.

Looks like these are 'controlled' targets and only members can get them? Looked for one online to print out with no luck.

the full size target is 11x17 or you can print each half on a 8.5x11
