IBS 100/200 Nationals Results — Harley Baker Wins Big
The IBS 100/200 yard Group Benchrest Nationals were held from August 11-16th at the Kelbly’s range in North Lawrence, Ohio. When the dust settled, Harley Baker, IBS 2007 Group Shooter of the Year, was the big winner, taking the Two-Gun, Three-Gun, and Four-Gun overall. Mark Buettgen, Gene Bukys, and Jack Neary also shot extremely well — these three shooters all finished in the top four in the multi-gun standings. Harley Baker triumphed over a field of roughly 150 shooters including benchrest Superstars Tony Boyer, Wayne Campbell, Joe Krupa, and Bart Sauter. Bill Goad won the Light Varmint Grand Agg, while Tony Boyer won the Heavy Varmint Grand. Ryan Kelbly was the top junior shooter.

While the multi-gun Agg results were, not surprisingly, in the low twos, there was some spectacular shooting done at the match in specific events. At 100 yards, the top five shooters in BOTH the Light Varmint AND Heavy Varmint Class all posted “Teen Aggs”. This shows you the kind of accuracy these rifles (in the hands of ace shooters) can deliver:
| Light Varmint 100-yard Aggregate | Heavy Varmint 100-yard Aggregate |
| 1. BILL GOAD 0.1614 2. GENE BUKYS 0.1686 3. PAT CANNING 0.1880 4. DAVE DOHRMAN 0.1894 5. BOB SCARBROUGH, JR. 0.1920 |
