DAVID PRICE NEW ENGLAND LEGHT BENCH RIFLE A WINNER
« on: September 25, 2017, 09:41:16 PM »
The old posting was getting too long so I thought I would start a new one on the same subject.  This is really an extension of my previous post.

Took the new rifle to the Maine State Championship  matches  this weekend.  It shot well, here are the results.















David Price is alive and well and is competing again.

Jon,
Another ten or fifteen years would be good.  I am doing pretty good on posting pictures since you showed me how.  Some how I got one of my pictures in upside down.  I wish someone would put it right side up.

TOF
There were two of the best bench shooters in New England and they were shooting custom very high quality light bench rifles, with longer barrels  They took me under there wing and tought me what it would have taken me ten years to learn on my own.  I thought that bench shooting was quite simple.  Just rest the rifle on the bench and punch out the ten ring. WRONG.  Reading the light, moving the sight during the match, and reading the wind.  The match included shooting fifty yards, one hundred yards, and two hundred yards.  One of them told me to sight in at fifty yards, and raise my sight eighteen clicks for the one hundred yd target.  Then movie it an additional seventy two clicks for the two hundred yd target.  I did exactly what they said and the elevation was @!*% near perfect.  Then I just had to adjust for the wind.  Thats just some of it.  What an education I had this weekend.  I can't waite to get back to it again.

Congratulations, David- spot on - there certainly is a lot more technique to BR than most people realize. Posture itself, is the most important 1st step in technique.
