Ultimate Benchrest National Score Championships on August 6th
The Ultimate Benchrest (UBR) National Championship will be held August 6th at Buck Creek, Kentucky. No the Ultimate Benchrest Championship is not like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)– there are no over-muscled brawlers with tatoos in a cage. Ultimate Benchrest is like any other registered benchrest match for SCORE, except for the targets. To “level the playing field”, UBR uses different-sized targets for different calibers. This way a .30-cal rifle, such as a 30BR, does not enjoy an inherent advantage by virtue of its larger diameter bullet making a bigger hole in the paper. You can shoot 22 caliber, 6mm, or .30 caliber, and have an equal chance of winning.
The event starts at 9:00 am on Saturday, August 6th. The range is located at 7204, Highway 1003, Somerset, KY 42501. You can set your GPS for: N37 05.792 + W84 23.961. Though all available spots for competitors are filled, match diectors still invite folks to “come on over” to see what this game is all about. For more info, visit www.UltimateBenchrest.com.
Why not just use an 8mm shot marker to score all targets, seems easier and fairer than changing the target size.
