Dave_j -I shoot free recoil - sitting up watching the conditions - the only thing touching the rifle are the front rest the rear bag and my right thumb and forefinger - I am left handed so learning to squeeze that shot off right handed (pinching) and feel comforatable doing it was probably the hardest part to pick up - I 2 have some UM1 and some 900B left but it is dwindling - if it is cold at the fall 22 only match I may get out the Ely Biathalon - I have a flat plate of UHMW attached to the forearm handstop rail with 1/4-20 flat head machine screws and "t" nuts - it runs on a Fudd Hamilton front rest setup. I have shot 248-8C several times at 100 and have shot 245-6C at 200 b4 in the 22 only reentry Schoyen match.
Don H - not that I am calling you a "hog" but I believe that there is still hope for you - I think that it is just called "readaptation" you were a good shot b4 your accident and I think that with enough practice you can get there again.

My list is as follows,and in no particular order except for the first "piece of equipment" everyone else is equally
as important but not in order
The late great Marlin Remington Bassett: For sharing his mechanical genius with me in the form of a Bresien
barreled ruger,as well as his time and patience he took to teach me "if you cant shoot a good group,you wont shoot a good score"
Jim McDerrmott: Consistence in making match quality ammo and the time to teach me how important it is to cast a good bullet as well as to remind me that the most important thing is to never forget to have fun.And what turn to take an the way to a match!
Andy Zahornacky: "Just try to do a little better every time and shoot against yourself and you will improve"
along with a good bench technique and also when to turn on the way to a match!
Dale Renyolds: "more powder and hold off" Along with what to watch for that the flags and probes might not be telling you.And don't forget to look both ways before squeezing the trigger!
The guys at Massachusetts Schuetzen Society {Roy Piver} for there club motto for a bad target..."its nothing a dollar wont fix"
And my dad George Conroy for showing me how much fun it is to shoot and fish!
To every on else I may not have mentioned in my "Equipment List" that has helped me set my targets or load /unload my gear....or given me pointers along with all the great shooters in this sport thank you for all the help you have given me and the help we share with each other.All the rest powder,primers,scope,its all the same stuff that
every one else has bought/sold,owned rebought.Its the people that count,the story you have told or listened to for the third time.The suggestion some one mentioned to you that you had in the back of your head,that when a friend told you you now know was right etc.So thank every one on your "List" you never know when they wont be around any more. THANKS TO ALL....Marty

green frog - if you really want to learn you would be better served to go to the people who have been so kind to share their knowledge of the benchrest game and reading conditions with me as I am sure that my knowledge will never surpass theirs. They are:
Paul Amberger
Keith Foster
Jim Borton
Dale Reynolds
and Jeff Shultz
if I have overlooked anyone it is due to a failing memory and not intent.

I've hung out with those guys, but they all laugh at me! Maybe it's the funny stock on my bench gun and not just me!
Truthfully, you're right though, Charlie. There are a bunch of guys at our matches that have a world of knowledge about shooting (off the bags or upright!) and they are generally very free about sharing.
Congratulations again on YOUR achievement!
Regards,
Froggie
