  • seems like it would be a completly different set of skills required to do this, i mean hell it takes the number one thing (aiming) out of shooting....its maybe why a whole bunch of rich old guys are doing it.

  • I wouldnt want to hunt with that thing!!!!

  • I guess this fits the definition of a picker.

  • what rest are you using?!

  • @contrarianbastard No wind reading required...thats why they shoot so damn fast...they fear the wind and arent good at doping wind so they fire in a set condition as fast as possible BEFORE it changes on them.

  • @kumquatsta Most accurate rifle and load development. That's the focus of benchrest.

    The trigger pull still needs to be smooth and straight back. Guys in benchrest are excellent shooters, it isn't as though they wouldn't be able to hit a barn with an M1 Garand if you put it in their hands.

  • does this sport really exist? my opinion, i think it is a little bit boring after a time :P But it look me great if i may shoot sometimes :P

  • look at that skill...pull trigger, eject spent cartridge, load a new one, pull trigger, eject spent cartidge, load a new one, pull trigger....

  • Looks more like a mini artillery set up. Fun! I could've taken over and still hit the target!

  • I should head out there sometime, I think it's only about and hour and a half from me.

  • troppo veloce! falla raffreddare la canna!

  • @a7xkaseya7x It doesn't take aim out of the equation, you still have to dope the wind at a 1000 yards (or meters, whatever the case may be), which is no small feat. The other skills required come into play before the match even starts, construction of the rifle,as well as developing and consistently reproducing a load for the rifle.

    It isn't cheap though, you're right about that. I wish I had the money to get into it.
