World Benchrest Championships - Rosebud July 14-21

[rpollock]

The Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club is hosting the World Championships. This is short range 100 yd and 200 yd group shooting.

The very best group shooters in the World will be here, from 15 countries.

Anyone can come out and watch. Bring your hearing protection, a spotting scope and tripod, and a camera if you want to record things. Match days are July 17th-21st. Matches will run about 9am-4pm. Official practice days are July 14, 15, 16, I expect most competitors will be there about the same time, about 9-4. Best time to talk to the shooters is on the practice days. There will be a concession open around the lunch hour.

Here are directions to the range:

Good luck to the Canadian teams! I know things will be hectic, but if you could post some links of the shoot on here as it progresses there would be a few people interested to see how Canada does.
