Connecticut Preparedness 

The schedule has been set for the year and can be found on the www.internationalbenchrest.com site under schedules - score. Hope to see you all there. We will be contesting IBS registered 100 and 200yd score matches for VFS, VH, H, and the new AR class as well as unregistered factory and semi-custom...

Just wanted to give an update on the matches at Bell City. As per the IBS's recent ruling we will, voluntarily, be contesting the AR class of rifles. I have not ordered plaques for this class due to the cost involved, and this being a trial run for IBS. The AR class at Bell City is strictly voluntar...

Looking forward to all comers this year. I am really hoping to have good solid attendance throughout the year, and have a solid crew to keep things running smoothly. Course of fire is the same for each yardage. Each tournament is contested at a single yardage per day. A tournament consists of five t...

I would like to offer some informal group matches in between the score matches, but a registered group match is, at ...

We had a great time at our first match, and ...

After all the prep work and anticipation we finally had our first match at Bell City. It was a hot, humid, hot (did I mention hot), day with most relays finding themselves dealing with mild to no wind and a mirage that made yours truly consider turning in his rifle for scrap. We had shooters from Pe...

Thanks for the welcome, John. I am looking forward to the shoot, and meeting more shooters from the area. I am hoping to attract new and seasoned shooters to the match. I have had several Bell City members approach me at the meetings and inquire about the match. Most had not heard of benchrest shoot...

Hello to all. I just got back from the range with a member of this board and he made me aware of its existence. I belong to Bell City in Southington, and am holding the first benchrest score match there on August 15th. This will be the first registered score match, that I am aware of, in a long time...
