IF YOUR RANGE SUPPORTS 1000YARDS, WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!

Differences between 1000 yards benchrest and conventional benchrest are more than 800 yards.  1000 yard competition takes you back and lets you experience bench rest as it was in its beginnings.  In the 1950's the emphasis was on creating accurate rifles.  Today, equipment for shooting 100 and 200 yards benchrest has been almost standardised, much of this through a long list of rules.  Winning a conventional BR match has largely become a matter of reading the conditions at a particular range and adapting to them but 1000 yard shooting is very different.  In 1998, the rifles used to win IBS 1,000 yard matches ranged from small 6mm's to the big .338 Magnums.  As far as that goes, varmit rigs and off-the-shelf factory rifles won the occasional shoot, something that doesn't happen in conventional benchrest shooting today.
