Benchrest Seminar

Lee Martin News

Once again this coming April 14, 2024 Bob White and I will be putting on a Benchrest clinic at the Cherry Ridge Gun Club in Highland Lakes, NJ. This will be our eighteenth year of this type of clinic. The first session will be classroom where Bob and I and maybe a guest speaker will discuss things from the history of organized Benchrest, the types of competition, types of rifles used, reloading, rests, tuning and wind reading plus much more. There will be plenty of time to get all your questions answered. The second session will be a shooting clinic where you can have your choice of shooting a Score or Group target.
Over the years this clinic has been a very big success because we have started students that have went on to be IBS Rookie of the year, became a match director holding IBS registered matches at their range and over twenty shooters that regularly attend registered matches. We are working on prizes for the raffle for the participants the drawing. Anyone interested in attending please contact Bob White at The Shooters Corner 973-663-5159 or Harley Baker at 610-496-6768.
All are welcome from those that just want to check it out, to the beginning shooter that wants to get better or to the seasoned pro who is looking for that nugget to take them to the next level.
Thank you. Harley Baker

Ricky Read has left the range

Gary Slawik News

The Benchrest community has lost another great competitor. Ricky Read passed away Saturday, 6/4/22, he was 68 years old. Rick had accumulated 4 Hall Of Fame points as well as a respectful 67.0 (Silver) Precision Rifleman Points, qualifying in 2002. His quiet demeanor and patience at the bench, made Ricky a tough competitor.

Rick retired in 2018 from Ingersoll Rand after 46 years, in his youth, Rick built muscle cars, was an avid rock climber and enjoyed hiking, including hundreds of miles on the Appalachian Trail.

I will miss his stern advice on my shooting skills, always trying to get me to calm down and focus on the important details.

Information regarding his services will be found on lehighvalleylive.com
