[QUOTE="mike33, post: 259768, member: 14195"] Competion is fun but time consuming, and expensive. I shot 100-200 yard on the IBS and NBRSA circuit in the late 80's - mid 90's. I had a 6ppc which was and probably still dominate today. But those was tough years young, married raising a child i really didnt have the money to go a lot. I had one thing for me at the time i was in auto body business just small, but i started painting gun stocks since it was auto-body work. I actually started painting for a top gunsmith at the time named Seely Masker, he give me a little endorcement which helped and i did a fair amount of stock painting in the evenings to help my hobby. The trouble most matches involved driving out of town which included : gas, food, motels, etc. soon added up and i decided to sell out. Now i started landscaping doing better, kid gone, etc., dont have the time. Its like one of the life reverse order thing. I would contact the International Bench Rest Assc. and get some information on what is offered to see what you would like.
