Curious to see if anyone is bench shooting with your AA rifle or any other,
I have been competing at an indoor range shooting at 50' from a bench using a front sand bag rest,
We are shooting at animal silhouettes (20) and bullseye targets totaling scores.
I'm using a AA TX200 MKIII and my new PCP AA S400 MPR....
This is a very competitive sport which I enjoy.

Hi! Ted, I shoot with a group of guys near Steubenville Ohio at the Sherwood Archery Club were the participation in archery had declined to the point that the club was worried about its future, most of the members are up in age and not many young people want to do anything other than look at their phones!!! To much like a job and no reset buttons!!! Ha Ha! A couple years ago a few of the guys bought cheaper air rifles to shoot in the very nice 30 yard indoor range for something to do in the winter and it has caught on pretty well and now there are about 15 shooters 3 times a week participating on a regular basis shooting from benches at targets with 1/4 inch dots at 30Yrds. ( we are thinking about going to 1/8 inch) as most of the guys have moved up to PCP rifles as they are easier to shoot and are more accurate because of the almost non existent recoil.
We have also bought 22 field targets ad will be setting up a range shortly to try our hand at that game ( looks like fun )
What do you guys do as far as targets and friendly competition? Jeff Little McMurray Pa.

On my indoor league we shoot at 50' off a bench at animal silhouette targets and bullseye targets scoring total from each, This is my second year competing and have averaged 192 out of 200 in animal silhouette and 180 out of 200 in bullseye target.
