My first match I onky got three on the paper.

Are calling BS on me. I am not a 10 yr veteran of benchrest shooting. I am a Navy veteran who spent 9 years and 3 months active duty.

Tom added some new targets and built up some berms. There are now orange clay pigeons to shoot at in addition to steel on every berm. Hitting a clay pigeon at 1000 yards is pretty cool. I recently took delivery of a TVP rifle in wildcat cartridge 22x47. It shoots a .224 95gr SMK bullet at...

The posted schedule ends in Oct but Tom does have open range days throughout the fall and winter. Keep an eye on his FB page for TVP. Yes Open Range days can be busy but there are 20 benches and room in between to shoot prone. The new pavillion for the ELR targets will have 5 benches.

Anyone can shoot on open range at targets out to a mile. New targets are being developed to 2500 yards but not sure when they will be available. $20.00 for members, $30.00 non-members, membership is $100.00 per year.

Factory barrel. 24" if I remember correctly. My best 5 shot group at 1,000 was 6.67 inches.

I use Hornaday 140 ELD-M in my 6.5 CM RPR and the FPS is 2800. Lapua brass. 42.6 H4350, BR4 primers, 140gr ELD-M, SD 4.5

I bought my 5R here and added my own stock. https://www.eurooptic.com/86498-Remington-Remington-700-Police-5R-308-Win-24-Barreled.aspx

I too am retired and everyday is Saturday. I love going to the local 100 yd range during the week. Last weekend I went to my long distance club which has steel out to one mile. Thunder Valley Precision in Ohio. Two young punks were doing rapid mag dumps and then laughing because that's so...

I use 42.6 gr of H4350 with 140 ELD-M, BR4 primers and Lapua brass. Ruger Precision Rifle. I can consistently keep my SD around 4.5 - 5.5 (as low as 3.1 measured last year) and my muzzle speed measured with a MagnetoSpeed V3 averages around 2800FPS. My overall case length is at max of 2.825...

I live just outside Pittsburgh but travel to Kimbolton, Ohio to shoot at Thunder Valley Precision. There is steel from 200 yards out to a mile. http://thundervalleyprecision.com/ From the bench 1000 steel

Last week was my fourth ever benchrest competition. I have a RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor that I reload for. Shot a 7.215 group and a score of 49. Not too bad for a rookie. I only shoot the tactical/hunter class right now but plan on competing in light gun soon.

I shoot at Thunder Valley Precision in Kimbolton, Ohio. Tom Sarver is the owner/operator and he builds precision guns! There are steel target from 200 yards out to a mile. He runs several competitions throughout the year. http://thundervalleyprecision.com/
