Concentricity Gauge This type of indicator was designed specifically for checking rotating diameters and in fact is exactly the type of gauge used in the machining industry for decades to measure run out; the very thing that we as hand loaders are striving to minimize or eliminate. At 21 Century Shooting it is our goal to modernize an industry that has seen little change over the years. Our concentricity gauge is a perfect example. st
Neck Turning Lathe
The floating design of our neck turner and the universal floating case driver allows the case mouth (bore) to run on the arbor absolutely concentric. Therefore allowing O.D. to be turned concentric with I.D. The tail-stock creates a horizontal inline support

for the base of the case. Also allows the operator to keep both hands on the power screw driver or drill. This makes it very easy to control feed rate of the cutting operation, generating a very fine turned finish. Case holder drivers are designed to be the most gentle driver, yet providing an adequate hold.

A Trip to the 2014 Group Nationals by Dick Wright
It’s just after 10 A.M. when I turn into the Holton Gun & Bow club, just a mile or so South of beautiful downtown Holton, Michigan. It’s been a two-hour trip over here from home. It’s early fall, leaves are starting to turn, the sun is shining and the weatherman says there will be a high of seventyfive degrees today with low humidity and light winds. A perfect day for benchrest competition… I poke along on the driveway, not wanting to raise any dust. There is rifle fire coming from the range and soon I see the buildings appear thru the woods. There are a lot of memories here… Her Loveliness, Mrs. Wright, and I started shooting here twenty-five years ago at the very start of our benchrest careers. For the first year it seemed that, each match, one of us would be in last place, the other nextto-last. However, we persevered and eventually learned, Glorya faster than I. In three or four years she became a contender in some of the matches. It took me longer… I pull into a parking place and ask the first soul I see, “Where’s Bart and Billy?” He points, “Two trailers that way.” “Thanks.” I motor down to their trailer and park. They’re not there, “Where are the colonels?” “Shooting. They’ll be back shortly.” I get out of my car, park my butt in
one of their chairs and wait… I always look forward to seeing these guys… these two special guys. I met Billy at a National Championships at Fairchance around 1993 and, at the Cactus Classic a year later when he had Bart with him. At the time they were both chopper pilots for Uncle Sam and had just returned from Desert Storm. They are now both retired, Billy as a bird colonel, Bart as a light colonel and are now both full-time professional benchrest shooters and suppliers to the sport. Bart and his wife, Kim, make Bart’s Bullets and Billy owns Steven’s Accuracy and makes super accurate benchrest and sporting rifles. What makes this impressive… people win things using their products. Pretty soon the shooting stops and I see them coming in a golf cart loaded down with two rail guns. The competition today is 200 yard Unlimited. “Dick Wright… you’re in our parking place.” “Tough.” That’s one helluva greeting… at least I’m glad to see them. We talk briefly. They have to clean guns and load. The weather has been great for shooting… Some of the aggregates are incredible…It seems Gene Bukys shot two thirteen-aggs in a row in the bag guns. Another fellow actually had a twelveagg. I have a problem wrapping my mind around the fact that Gene shot a thirteen agg and was second. At that time both Bart and Billy are
shooting well enough to be in contention. We exchange a few more updates and I wander off. There are a lot of old friends here that I haven’t seen in a while. It’s a delightful day and I take some time to just wander around the encampment… at least as long as the ancient legs let me. Everything is familiar yet different. The rifle range is now longer, forty benches I am told. I’ve never seen so many people here. There is a full compliment of the gazillion dollar motor homes that I see down at Kelbley’s at the Super Shoot. It’s a Nationals and everybody seems occupied and purposeful… it’s one of two time s each year that one can win points toward the ultimate goal… a place in the Benchrest Hall of Fame. I meet a lot of people I have shot with for years. Bill Gammon smiles and shakes hands. Good to see Bill and I now know that, once the shooting is over, with Bill and his band of Canucks there, the encampment will, very likely, get noisier and adult beverages will be consumed. I take secret delight in the fact that many people I’ve known for years don’t recognize me. The writer has lost over 110 lbs. since I stopped shooting at big matches. (No health problem, I just had a bad doctor.) I find where Dwight Scott and Pat Canning are loading and park it. We go way back. There was a time when Pat and I travelled to

Don’t miss the Berger 6mm BR Column Bullet!
The Berger 6mm BR Column Target bullet uses the physics of dispersion mitigation to provide BR Berger offers a full line of match grade rifle shooters with a reliable option that offers the widest and lowest tune valley. This means the bullet bullets for varmint, target, hunting and tactical shoots best in the widest variety of loads and seating depths. In this case, overall balance of the applications. Ask your dealer if they stock Berger bullet is more important than overall weight, so there is no listed weight. Rather, Bullets or visit our website for full details. the 6mm BR Column bullet achieves a specific internal lead column height, resulting in minor weight differences from lot to lot.
These bullets are being tested by top BR shooters, with great success. Lou Murdica has won matches in both Florida and California, Don Nielson won Two Gun Aggs three weekends in a row and Tony Boyer shot a 200 yard HV Agg of .1928 at the 2012 East/West match in Missouri.

SHOOT BETTER SHOOT BERGER
Lets hear it for the old guys when they beat young whippersnappers of a mere fifty or sixty years old. The food is good and the kitchen well organized. I finish eating and wander on… I just sit down by the “Wailing wall” for a while admiring some of the targets. People wander in and out… some happy, some not so much. A few are shooting consecutive groups in the “Three’s”… ten shot groups at 200 yds. on that “expletive deleted” range that always hated me. Whoda ever thunk? I move on and look for and find a pleasant fellow named Jay Lynn Gore. I need him to deliver a package for me to my pal, Jimmy Carpenter, down Mississippi way. He is happy to do so and says he is glad to meet me, having read many of my articles in the past. We chat and I move on. It’s getting close to time to go. The old body is getting tired and I’m a couple of hours from home. I look up Bart and Billy one last time. We chat briefly. They are still shooting and I don’t want to bother. Time to go. I climb into and fire up the old Porsche. The trip home is a delight. I was in a hurry to get there that morning and, not wanting to waste any time, took the main roads to Holton. Bad choice… Michigan has been out of money for years and the roads were rough which pleased neither the car’s suspension nor me. There was too much traffic. This is the sort of thing that makes me grouchy. Over the years we have learned many ways to go to Holton. This late afternoon I chose the back roads and it’s a good choice. They are in better shape than the highways and there is little traffic. The sun is in my back and illuminates the lovely early fall color. I let the old car run as Dr. Porsche intended and the Northern forests fly by… The trip home takes twenty minutes less than it had in the morning. Her Loveliness seems happy to see me and relieved that I didn’t manage to kill myself. Next morning I wake up and want to go back… I really love just hanging around matches. Alas, the old bod just isn’t up to it. I sleep most of the day. Maybe next year I can make it to the Super Shoot.

matches together and, since he lives a long way away, he used to drive up Friday and spend the night with us on days before we had a match in Harrison. Dwight’s been the Wright’s gunsmith from day one and is mostly responsible for any modest success that either of the Wright’s enjoyed when we were both shooting. Dwight could always be depended on to explain to me in the bluntest of terms just exactly what I was doing wrong… usually most everything. Dwight isn’t shooting today…it’s Unlimited 200 yds. and he vowed to quit shooting same and to quit lugging that heavy mutha of a gun around after he got his final Hall of Fame point. He did and he did. Now we have time to talk… Dwight says this has been the best Nationals he’s been to in some time. The weather is perfect and Bob and Nancy Scarborough seem to have everything perfectly organized. He says the competitors seem to be happy and that things have run smoothly all week. He also says, “Dickie, it’s a whole new world…” The improvement in accuracy the last few years has been nothing short of astounding. Whoever heard of a thirteen agg? Whoever heard of shooting a thirteen agg and getting beat? I ask him how this has come about. He says that equipment just keeps getting a little better as time goes by. Shooters keep learning just a little more every year about fine-tuning their guns. A seating depth change of just a couple of thousandths can make a massive difference in group size. Will we ever see an agg in the zeros? Shot outside in moving air? Don’t bet against it. There’s a young fellow representing Kreiger Barrels with Dwight. He seems to be happy. People are shooting very well and many of them are shooting his barrels. How could he not be having a good visit? Having taken enough abuse from Dwight I wander on. It’s lunchtime and it’s been a while since I was in the Holton Gun & Bow Club clubhouse. Walt Berger and Stan Buchtel are there, a couple of veterans who were longtime shooters way back when we started. Walt became my hero this week when I was checking results on my computer and found that he had won an agg early in the match.

Gene Bukys Wins it All at the 2014 Group Nationals
written by Nancy Scarbrough, photos by Bill Greene
The 2014 NBRSA Nationals will be talked about throughout the region in the months and years to come. With over 150 contenders from all over the US and a fair contingent of Canadians as well as contenders from across the pond, it was truly a momentous event. If we went by the weather two weeks prior to the match, you would have had to hold on to your hats and bring your umbrellas; typical weather for Michigan this time of year. Rains were just about every day and winds were 15-30 mph. BUT…The gods were on the side of our competitive shooters and blessed them with six days of sun, 70⁰F weather and winds 6-10mph. You could NOT have asked for better weather than that for this prestigious event. Starting out the Match on Monday with the UNL100, the morning was a bitter cold 42⁰F and winds were 6mph. Just about everyone was bundled up in coats and had a cup of coffee in hand. Jeff Gaidos walked away with a .1834 win and Mike Conry (photo at right) won the 200yds with a .2175. Winning the Unlimited Grand by a long shot was Jeff Gaidos with a .2088. Small Group went to Joel Nader with a .098 in 100yds and Jeff Thompson with a .249 in 200. In the SP100, the “AGELESS WONDER” Walt Berger came out of nowhere to win the Sporter 100 with a .1710. Ed Adams won the SP200 with a .1754 and battling over the Sporter Grand was
Wayne Campbell and Andy Shifflett, both shooting teen Grand Aggregates. Wayne Campbell was victorious with a .1907. Small groups went to Arizona’s Lester Bruno with a .064 at 100 yards and to Texan Mike Conry with a .167 at 200. The LV held double the bounty since it garnered WBC points. This worked just fine for Mark Buettgen, who won handily the LV100 with a fine .1366. Not to be left behind, Larry Costa took his turn at the LV200 and won with a nice .1593. Taking no prisoners, however, Gene Bukys mastered the LV Grand with a .1661. The small group of .062 at 100 yards was also Gene’s and Wayne Campbell took it at 200 yards with a .174. Next up was the HV100 and once again, Gene Bukys ran away with it ending on a .1304 but make way for Mark Buettgen with a .1742 to claim his victory in the HV200. Taking no chances with the WBC World Team Point standings, Gene won the HV Grand with a .1666. Hugh Williams’ .035 took small group at 100 and Canadian George Carter took small group at 200 with a .146. In the past several years, Gene Bukys has proved to be one of the most consistent shooters in benchrest. Gene
demonstrated this again at this 2014 Group Nationals by winning the TwoGun with a .1849, Three-Gun with a .1788 and Four-Gun with a .2033. Outstanding shooting Gene. Congratulations. As mentioned earlier, the gods blessed us with great weather and wind conditions. As a result, there were several possible World Records submitted for review. Categories include HV100, HV Grand, UNL100, LV100, Small Group HV100, Small Group UNL100. Good luck to those who shot the possible new World Records. On behalf of the Holton Bow and Gun Club, we would like to say congratulations to all the winners and a heartfelt thank you to all the participants for coming and supporting our club. To my crew behind the scenes I send a BIG thank you. Without them an event this size would not have been possible. Holton is looking forward to hosting more Nationals in the future.

WBC13 USA Team A now a word from Wayne Campbell, NBRSA’s World Team Representative. Please see the attached list of the top 50 competitors to qualify for the 2015 (WBC-13) World Benchrest Championship to be held September 22-26, 2015 in St. Louis. This turned out to be quite a battle. The most impressive thing to me about this list is that in order to make the Top 12, a competitor had to
have an average finish of 14.67 and better in their respective Grands to qualify. This I believe would be the most hotly contested battle in our history. Congratulations to all...

June Varmint For Score Match by Rick DeGroat
A pretty fair turn out showed up for our June Varmint for score match and for the desert part of the evergreen state the weather wasn’t too bad, not to windy, not too hot and not to much mirage until 200 yards. That’s when it got fun. Along with the fun with the conditions we had a small family feud with three generations of the Mayer family showing up, Dick Mayer his son David and his grandson Jared. Jared used to shoot with us as a teenager. Jared was a nice young man with good manners, his only fault was he liked to whoop us old men even at the young age of 13. Jared took a few years off from shooting to go to school and now at the age of 21 he came back to shoot with us. It is good to see Jared again and to see that he has grown up to be just as fine a young man that he was a few years ago. Still pleasant, polite and still likes to put a whooping to us;

even beating his poor old grandpa out of second place at 100 yards. Grandpa came back to make us old guys proud by coming back at 200 yard to take second while Jared took third. Paul Gylling was the only one that could best the Mayer’s claiming first at both yardages. Welcome back Jared. .

Yellowstone Rifle Club’s Fall Group Match Richard Debick Wins the Two-Gun & HV; Rod Brown Takes LV by Ryan Lienemann, Match Director
The benchrest shooters who attended the August 23-24 Light and Heavy Varmint matches at Yellowstone Rifle Club in Billings Montana were expecting it to be hot and dry, as is typical for Billings in August. Old Mother Nature had a different plan in store for us that weekend. The high for the weekend was 58° and we got nearly 2” of rain dumped on us. It was a good thing that we had recently replaced the roof on the firing line so the shooters stayed nice and dry. The same couldn’t be said for the poor target crew however. They certainly earned their wages that weekend. Russell Cree did a great job scoring the targets, even though some of them had to be practically wrung-out before they could be measured. Considering the weather, we didn’t have too bad of a turnout with eleven shooters in the LV class on Saturday and ten on Sunday in HV. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention the 30 mph wind gusts that frequented the range throughout the match. Despite the poor conditions, everyone was in good spirits and we had a good match to finish up the 2014 benchrest season at the YRC. Richard Debick started the weekend off by winning the LV100 match with a .2546 aggregate. His .161 in match 1 and .179 in match 5 gave him the edge he was looking for. In fact, Richard’s .161 in the first match ended up winning him the LV100 small group award. Jane DeWiss came in second with a .2806 aggregate and was followed by Roger Schuppe in third with a .2936. After a warm lunch and a little drying off time, we all got our rain gear back on and moved our flags in preparation of the afternoon LV200 match. The wind and rain was tough that afternoon, but Rodney Brown was up for the challenge and ended up with a first place win for his efforts resulting in a .4776 aggregate. Richard Debick was still holding his own and finished with a .5516 that earned him the second place trophy. Roger Schuppe took third with a .6508 and Richard Debick claimed the LV200 small group award
with a .391 in match 3, which was some pretty darn good shooting considering there were only two competitors fired groups in match 3 that measured less than one inch. At the end of the day, the LV grand aggregates were tallied and Rodney Brown’s 200-yard win bumped him up to the top of the board with a .3989. Richard Debick took home the second place trophy with a .4031 and Roger Schuppe’s .4722 agg earned him third place. The top five was rounded out by Jack Foster, who shot a .5725 and Dave Hellekson with a .5919. We returned to the range on Sunday morning to commence with the HV200 match. The conditions were opposite of how we had left them the night before – more rain and less wind. Jack Foster came out of the gate with an early lead and never dropped out of first throughout the match. He ended up with a .3056 aggregate that no one else was able to come close. Second place went to Richard Debick with his .3704 posting. Rodney Brown came in third with a .3961 agg. Not surprisingly, Jack Foster also won the HV200 small group award with a .500 in match 3. We took a short break for another warm lunch and then the HV100 match got underway to finish out the weekend. Jack Foster was in the lead again after the first match, but from there on out Roger Schuppe took over and ended up winning first place with his .2318 agg. Roger shot a nice .170 in match 3, which also gave him the HV100 small group award. Richard Debick came in second with a .2752 and Rodney Brown took third with a .3546.
When it was all said and done, Richard Debick came out on top in the HV grand with a first place total of .3228. Roger Schuppe’s 100-yard win moved him up to second place in the grand with a .3281 and Jack Foster finished with a .3348 that was good for third. Finishing out the top five were Rodney Brown with a .3753 and Bob Lunder with a .4095. In the two-gun, Richard Debick’s numbers averaged the least and he was awarded the first place trophy for his .3629 aggregate. Rodney Brown was second overall with a .3871 and Roger Schuppe came in third place with a .4002. Jack Foster was fourth with his .4536 and Bob Lunder was fifth with a .5023. I want to congratulate the winners and thank all of the competitors for coming and sticking it out through the tough weather. I also want to give a big thanks to my wife Ginger for keeping us all fed and also for running the target crew along with Hailey Anderson and my two sons Kyle and Tyler. A big thanks also goes out to Russell Cree for doing such a fine job of scoring the targets.

Midland Shooters Association Hosts the
BUFFALO CLASSIC 2014 August 30th and 31st, 2014
Twenty-eight shooters converged on Midland this Labor Day weekend to renew old friendships and test their skills at the bench, hoping for nice shooting conditions. Well, the mornings were somewhat nice, and the afternoons were somewhat testy, your normal Midland conditions for this time of year. Saturday morning, Gene Bukys showed the rest of us how it’s done, easily winning the L.V. 100 with a .1648 agg. Mike Conry (.2066) and Charles Huckeba (.2112) were second and third respectively, with Gene Bukys also shooting the small group, a tiny .090. After a short break for lunch, all of us returned to the line to vie for top honors in the H.V.100. Larry Baggett proceeded to beat us all, winning the H.V.100 with a .2228 aggregate. B.G. Lott (.2350) and Charles Huckeba (.2604) were second and third in the agg. Did I mention that Ken Terrell shot the small group for the yardage, a nice .093? Sunday morning, we started off with the H.V.200. Ken Terrell shot really steady, winning the aggregate with a .2008. Gene Bukys was second with a .2151 and Larry Baggett was third, .2392. New Shooter Scott Haywood shot the small group for the yardage, a .280. Needless to say, Scott sure was a happy guy, way to go!! After giving the wind a chance to pick up some, we shot the L.V.200. Charles Huckeba won the yardage shooting a .2730 aggregate. Larry Baggett was second,.2769 and coming in third was Mike Conry, .3158. Larry also shot the small group, a .245!! Charles Huckeba won the L.V. grand with a .2421 aggregate. Larry Baggett was second,.2517, Gene Bukys was third,.2558, Mike Conry was fourth,.2612 and B.G. Lott rounded out the top five,.302. Larry Baggett won the H.V.
grand, .2310, Gene Bukys was second,.2412, Ken Terrell was third,.2504, Charles Huckeba was fourth,.2720 and Rick Ellison was fifth with a .2926 agg. After the dust cleared, fights were settled and bribes were paid, Larry Baggett came out on top in the Two-Gun with a .2414 aggregate. Congratulations Larry! Gene Bukys was second, .2485, Charles Huckeba was third,.2571, Mike Conry was fourth,.2843 and B.G. Lott was fifth,.3098. As this was the last group match for 2014 in the Gulf Coast Region, tabulations for this region’s shooter of the year could be made. Coming out on top (again!) for the honor of being crowned Gulf Coast Region Shooter of the Year was Gary Bristow with 593 points. The rest of the top ten are as follows in order, Chrales Huckeba, Larry Baggett, Dickie Pustejovsky, Gene Bukys, Tommy Long, John Horn, Scott Hunter, Mike Conry and Gary Walters. Thanks to all the folks that helped to make this such a fun, well run match, especially the OlympicClass target crew who were soooo good the they also handled the food preparation and clean-up, and still had time to visit to their hearts’ content, along with all the guys that helped to set up and tear down the target frames! We sure hope to see all of ya’ll next year.

Boone Valley Ikes’ Iowa State Score Championship by Ronnie Berg We had a good turnout for our State Two Gun Score Championship held June 28-29, 2014. Fourteen Hunter shooters put there skills to the test for the Iowa State Hunter Championship. On Saturday we shot 100-yards and first place went to Neil Bickley, second was Craig Nagel, and third Wade Hunnewell. Moving on to 200 yards, the winner was Wade Hunnewell. Second was Randy Robinett (25 cal) and third place went to Terry Meyer (6PPC). Top three in the Hunter Grand were Wade Hunnewell, Neil Bickley held second and third went to Randy Robinett (25 cal). We also shot VFS on Saturday for shooters that don’t have a Hunter gun. There were eleven VFS shooters in that match. At 100-yards, Brett Stiner took a first place finish with Dave Brooks second and Ron Miller third. Competing at 200 yards and taking first was Thomas Gollob. Second was Russ Stiner and third place went to Dave Brooks. Saturday’s VFS Grand winner was Thomas Gollob, holding second was Dave Brooks and in third was Bevan Everett. On Sunday we had twenty-six shooters to contest the Iowa State VFS Championship. Here’s how the 100 yard event came down; in first place was Wade Hunnewell, second went to Terry Meyer and third was Ron Miller. There
were ten 250’s shot at 100 yards. Now at 200 yard VFS, first went to Richard Hunnewell, Craig Nagel placed second and Randy Robinett held third. For the Iowa State VFS Grand Agg, Craig Nagel placed first and Richard Hunnewell was second. Randy Robinett (25 cal.) rounded out the top three. Fourteen shooters vied for the Iowa State Two Gun Championship. Top Five placements were Randy (25 cal) Robinett second was Craig Nagel, third place went to Wade Hunnewell, fourth was Neil Bickley and Richard Hunnewell held fifth position. The results are all posted here for you to view. We were very lucky with the weather, soon after we all left the range Sunday afternoon Webster City had in excess of 3” rain dumped. I would like to thank everyone who came to support us and all who helped with the match. We would be lost without our target crew. Be safe and shoot well.

December, 2014 Precision Rifleman NBRSA 2014 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Saturday, September 14, 2014 The annual meeting of the NBRSA Board of Directors was called to order by President Dennis Thornbury at 9:20am on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at the North Shores Library in Muskegon, Michigan. In attendance: Dennis Thornbury, President Don Nielson, Vice President John Horn, Financial Officer Audrey Brown, Board Secretary Jack Neary, Eastern Regional Director Scott Hunter, Gulf Coast Director Butch Fjoser, Mid-Continent Director Bud Mundy, Mississippi Valley Director Terry Meyer, North Central Director Wayne Campbell, Southeast Director & International Representative Dan Zaccanti, Northwest Director Tom Libby, Southwest Director Gene Bukys, World Records Chairman David Halblom, Score Records Chairman RE: Gene Bukys, World Records Report: Mr Bukys asked to post committee forms on the NBRSA website. He will send these forms to the Business Manager who will then post them online. He stated he has three groups of targets that have been submitted and that it has been a slow year for group world record submissions. RE: David Halblom, Score Records: Mr Halblom stated it was a slow year for score world record submissions as well. There had been three records submitted for consideration. He submitted a match statistics report which displayed the shooter days including the 2014 Score Nationals attendance. He said score shooting is growing quickly but small in comparison to the overall match attendance. He suggested the Board begin referring to the “HTR/VFS Nationals” as the “Score Nationals” to demonstrate that it is one national event with two entities; a long and short range format. He said that words are important especially for the general public so they understand what we are doing. RE: Wayne Campbell, WBC-13 Review: Mr Campbell said there is not much going on presently and that Scott Pieper (from Bench Rest Rifle Club of St Louis) has things under control and is very detail oriented. Mr Campbell
said the point totals are set. At present, the top 30-35 group shooters are still in the running. One question he has is since the 2015 NBRSA Group Nationals will be held one week prior to the WBC13, international participants are asking whether they must pay the full $120 to participate in the NBRSA Group Nationals and would the Board consider waiving the membership fee? After Board discussion, Mr Meyer made a motion to charge the US fee $60 with no magazine subscription for these international participants. They can opt to pay for full membership of $120 if they want to subscribe to the magazine. Motion seconded by Mr Libby and approved unanimously. RE: John Horn, Target Report: Mr Horn said NBRSA has sufficient target paper quantities on hand for 2014 but in 2015 the inventory levels will need to be reviewed. He said the Board can defer a decision until 2015 at which time he feels they will probably convert to purchase as needed. Mr Libby suggested gathering a few shooters to test target paper options and report back to the Board on their findings. Mr Libby asked Mr Meyer to look further into the target paper options along with Mr Bukys. Mr Mundy said he foresaw two problems with the targets; how they are cut and the fuzzy rings. Mr Neary said how the paper responds in rain is also an issue. Mr Meyer said the reprocessed paper will be absorbent but a shellac coating will help to slow this process down. The clarity of the lines is determined in the printing process. Discussion ensued about shipping costs, vendor selection and paper quality. RE: John Horn, Financial Report: Mr Horn reviewed the Profit & Loss Statement. He said there is a new shooter in Texas, Matt Harris, who is a CPA and has reviewed the NBRSA books at no charge. Mr Horn said one problem is that the organization has dropped sixty members this year which affects revenue; however, shooter attendance at matches has increased, which is encouraging. Advertising revenues and percentages is the same as last year. Trophies and awards are up substantially. Payroll is the same as last year. He said the CPA projects a net income of $6000 for 2014. Mr Horn said we have stopped the financial losses but
21
need to gain more members. Mr Mundy noted expenses in trophies and awards increased due to the onetime purchase of group national traveling plaques. These plaques were sponsored to replace the traveling trophies which are now housed at Bench Rest Rifle Club of St Louis. Sponsorship donations were reported as income. Mr Horn said the Balance Sheet Assets were up and Liabilities are primarily payroll taxes. He said there is nothing wrong with the finances that 500 new members would not fix. RE: Audrey Brown,Business Report: Mrs Brown had passed out company information, national event attendance historical and membership data for Board review. The Board requested a format change in the monthly membership renewals to include only active and non-Renewal members in their report. The Board also asked to have a cell phone app which reveals current NBRSA individual membership status. Mrs Brown said she will ask Mr Brown, NBRSA’s technical advisor to do this. The Board requested the Manager to email Membership Contact Information quarterly to the Regional Directors which should include member addresses, phone and email. Mrs Brown reviewed attendance levels at different national events; LR Varmint Nationals had 10 participants for the last 2 years; LR Nationals had 38/39 participants. She inquired whether the title of “National” event should apply when numbers are so low and the Board felt the title was not delegated based on attendance levels. Mr Libby displayed a certificate to be designed by Mrs Brown that can be accessed online and allow match directors to personalize a certificate and save money in club event recognition. Club delinquencies and target inventory levels were discussed. RE: Scott Hunter, Rulebook Committee: Mr Hunter said printer issues caused lengthy delays and eventually the printer vendor was changed. Mr Hunter reviewed the revisions to the rulebook and bylaws. RE: Score Rules Discrepancies: Mr Mundy and Mr Meyer will pursue resolving these. Mr Meyer made a motion to table the Score Rules for two weeks pending re-
22

ceipt of the current score rules that Mr Mundy will provide. Second by Mr Libby. President Thornbury stated action item will be submitted by email and the Regional Directors will vote for approval upon receipt. Motion passed unanimously. RE: Audrey Brown, Traveling Trophies: Mrs Brown said the traveling plaques are completed and on display at Holton Gun Club. The original traveling trophies have been retired at Bench Rest Rifle Club in St Louis. 2013 Open Item Minutes 1. F-Class Benchrest. Mr Libby said Sloughhouse Benchrest was the only club to hold an F-class benchrest match. The number of shooters who attended was around thirty. Sloughhouse did not submit for the 2015 LR Nationals. Mr Neary said there are few ranges that have both pits and covered concrete benches to accommodate this type of shooting. Mr Libby made a motion to disband the Fclass committee due to lack of traction. Second by Mr Mundy and passed unanimously. 2. Alternate director motion. Item was completed last year and progress is being made to accomplish this goal. 3. The 2013 Hunter Nationals case capacity review is still ongoing. The Board will review this next year at the completion of the 2-year trial period. 4. Certificate for matches is in process and when complete will be placed on the NBRSA website. 5. Clarify stock dimensions. Mr Nielson and Mr Libby have a plan in place to be used at the Group Nationals at Referee’s discretion. Mr Hunter made a motion that we have the Australian stock checker available to the referees to use at their discretion at the Group Nationals only. Mr Zaccanti seconded and motion passed unanimously. Mr Mundy will be responsible for getting one made by commencement of WBC13. 6. BR101 Clinics. Mr Neary said there is a lot of interest but no one to step up and run these. Holton Gun Club is a prospect for a clinic in 2015. Mr Mundy stated an “Intoduction to Benchrest” has been held the last two years at the open house at Ben Avery range in Phoenix and participation is strong but has not resulted in new members. Mr Neary said money is part of the con-
cern and youngsters seek the 50 calibers. No further action was pursued by the Board on this item. Mr Neary said that Holton’s Group Nationals will not rotate relays as was previously decided by Board vote in the 2013 approved minutes. Mr Fjoser made a motion that the Board grant a variance to the relay rotation for the 2014 Holton Nationals. Second by Mr Libby and unanimously passed. The Board discussed the feasibility of this mandatory rotation. Mr Neary made a motion to make the relay rotation at the discretion of the Regional Director at the Group National event. This will amend the 2013 approval. Motion failed for lack of a second. North Central Agenda Items: 1-2. Review trophy/national fee structure and recognition for National Events. Mr Meyer made a motion to initiate a committee to find alternatives to existing recognition items for all national events. This committee will determine which recognition items to provide; which placements receive recognition and the fee structure for all ranges holding National events with the goal of achieving at least a breakeven status. Second by Mr Libby. All in favor except Mr Neary who said his region likes the bolo ties and wants it to remain the same. Motion passed. 3. Lower International and Canadian dues and obtain magazine online. Item died due to lack of a motion. 4. Email membership cards and have members print these themselves. Item died due to lack of a motion. 5. Clarify quorum needs and how Alternate Directors are elected. Should they be added to the membership ballot that is mailed to members or at the regional meeting? After discussion, it was determined that both processes are used and therefore acceptable. 6. Mr Meyer said there is conflict of interest concern raised in the NC region because the Board Secretary’s husband is the Alternate Director for the NC region. Mr Meyer asked the Board to determine whether this is a conflict or not. President Thornbury noted that in years past, Mr Buchtel was a Director while his wife was Secretary of the
NBRSA. He felt this was no different. The Board determined there was no conflict. 7. Mr Meyer asked about quorum requirements and how to meet these according to NBRSA By-Laws. At general membership meetings, there may not be sufficient participants to meet the quorum. This is a concern across all disciplines. The Board decided that meetings held with lower numbers will be conducted as opinion polls by member shooters. Their decisions and wishes will then be forwarded to the Board to consider. Mississippi Valley Agenda Item: 1. Group Nationals Format Change. Mr Mundy made a motion to change format of 2015 Group Nationals to Unlimited Monday and Tuesday, remaining format is unchanged. This would apply to 2015 year only. Second by Mr Fjoser. Motion failed. Break for lunch at 12:10pm Reconvene 1:50pm Eastern Region Agenda Items: 1-8. These items were not considered by the Board because the submitter was not a current member. 9. No late fee for National events imposed. Died due to lack of a motion. 10. No smoking in the loading area. The Board stated it is in the new rulebook. 11. New rule targets must be hung before the next group. Motion made by Mr Neary. Motion died with no second. 12. Rifles should be weighed before beginning match. Should it be range officer or referee? After discussion, no motion was made. 13. Referee for disqualification. Mr Neary made a motion to ensure Referees are consulted when a DQ is considered with the exception of a safety violation, which is solely at the discretion of the Range Officer. Second by Mr Zaccanti and unanimously passed. 14-15. Yardage wins and recognition at regional and national matches. No motion made. 16. Bolo ties handed after each group. No motion presented. 17. Support caliber neutral scoring for score shooting. Mr Neary made a motion to approve this. No second. Motion failed. 18. Revert to old course of fire for Group Nationals.
December, 2014 Precision Rifleman No motion. 19. Cartridge feeding p8 (g) addresses. No motion. Northwest Items: 1. Discuss options when rules are not followed. Board discussed and decided the Directors need to determine the rules are followed, especially at national events. 2. Score Nationals can be separated by long or short yardages but not separate as Hunter or Varmint For Score. The Board decided the above is correct and so stated in the rules. 3. Recognize Score Nationals 100-200300 yardage for Hunter and Varmint For Score. Mr Zaccanti made a motion to recognize the 100-200-300. Motion died due to lack of a second. 4. Add Long Range Rules to NBRSA Rules & ByLaws as a separate section. At the Long Range Nationals, Mr Zaccanti said the members were in favor of this. After Board discussion regarding the size of the Long Range Rules and likely need to order a thicker binder to accommodate the increase in size, it was determined it is not cost effective to do this at this time. 5. Allow cell phones at the bench (on silent mode only) so they can use the stopwatch function. The Board decided this is okay if used as a timer only but if there is a discrepancy, the Referee has the final decision. Gulf Coast Items: 1. Electronic instruments round off after certain decimal places. There was an incident in the region where the two gun winner did not have the smallest aggregate due to rounding. Mr Hunter made a motion that for the Group Nationals only, if two people appear to be tied for multi-gun aggregates, the scorer will do an add-up with the lowest total to determine the winner. Second by Mr Neary and unanimously passed. Southwest Items: 1. Mr Libby discussed letters received by members regarding rules. The Board decided the rules in place are sufficient at this time. Other Items: 1. Screamer patches will be mailed to the Regional Directors requesting them along with qualifications.
2. The “250 Club” patches. The Board did not authorize the purchase of these patches because of the great number of shooters that have attained this score. The recognition appeared superfluous. 3. Eastern Region Ranges: Mr Neary stated Camillus Range was shut down but that Canistota Range may return to NBRSA with Bob Hamister as Match Director. 4. Mr Neary would like a section on the NBRSA website for mentoring volunteers at various ranges. Mrs Brown will consult the Technical Advisor, Mr Brown regarding this. 5. Mrs Brown will send out Non-Renewal lists of members for each director with contact information. National Events: Mr Campbell noted in qualifying years, the Group National should be the last qualifying event of the year. The Board made the following selections for upcoming National and major Events: 2016 Group Nationals: Ben Avery Range, Phoenix, Arizona October, 2016 *Cactus will be March 14-15, 2015. The Rattlesnake & Cactus will again be a point matches. 2015 Long Range Nationals: Colorado Rifle Club, Byers, CO* 2015 Score Nationals: Boone Valley Ikes, Webster City, IA. (Short Range Only) 1st week of August, 2015 2015 Long Range Varmint Nationals: Palomino Valley Gun Club, September, 2015 Executive Nominations: Mr Fjoser nominated Mr Nielson for Vice President for another two-year term. Second by Mr Libby and unanimously passed. Mr Thornbury was nominated for another two-year term as President by Mr Hunter. Second by Mr Neary and unanimously passed. Mr Meyer made a motion to recess at 4pm until the conclusion of the the General Membership meeting on September 24th. Second by Mr Hunter and unanimously passed.
General Membership Meeting
The 2014 General Membership meeting was called to order at 1:46pm on Wednesday, September 24, 2014. President Thornbury discussed the
23
relay rotation at Holton and why this was not done in accordance with the 2013 Board decision. He said the Board voted to leave relay rotation to the Regional Director. Member Dennis Wagner said the membership voted to have the relays rotated and was disappointed that this was not done in this National event. Tom Libby said he voted against this as this was the vote his region wanted him to make. Jack Neary said it was his decision to keep the relays standard. His direction from the Eastern Region members was concern that members would miss their rotation and that it would cause too much confusion. He said there will be issues at future Nationals if relay rotations occur. He wanted this in the minutes. He stands by his decision and feels it would be going down the wrong direction to make relay rotation mandatory. Don Creach said he is okay with anything in the rulebook but doesn’t agree with arbitrary changes to the rules that are not as stated. He said this is not keeping the business intact. He said he’s opposed. Rod Brown stated the purpose of rotating is that each person has a fair shot. Conditions change during the day and it is not fair for the person stuck on the third relay that is always getting poor conditions. He has shot over ten years and says traditionally conditions deteriorate as the day progresses. Jack Neary said he referred to Bill Gammon’s research that showed the facts did not support that you have to be on first relay in order to have favorable conditions. Mr Gammon said he did the stats at WWCCA and the most wins were at bench 1, however, he only checked one range. He said he would need to do the same at other ranges to develop their statistics. Ron Miller asked why everyone wants to be on relay one if there is no benefit? Mr Ocock said everyone is right. He said when we spend as much money as we do to compete, you want the fairest opportunities that are available. Dennis Thornbury said the members need to tell their Directors what they want. He said if the members are feeling strongly about this, we can go to a traditional vote but for now he will take an opinion poll of the members present. President Dennis Thornbury discussed the Board’s decisions to member agen-

da items and the 2015 scheduled National events and locations. Rex Reneaux discussed the Hall Of Fame program and presented the members present with a raffle opportunity for two rifles donated by Dave Kiff of Pacific Precision Tool. Ferris Pindell made both actions. The Hall Of Fame is funded by these donations. When someone is inducted, it costs about $300 per person. He challenged the existing members to contribute. Vera Carter from the Canadian World Team said Vickie Holmes has a raffle for a quilt and an afghan to support the Canadian World Team. Regarding the NBRSA finances, Don Creach said we are obligated to print the financial data in the magazine. He wants a full accounting. President Thornbury said Mr Horn has had a CPA oversee our accounting and he provides the statements. He audits the books and has changed the forms. Business Manager Audrey Brown said as the documents are presented and approved by the Board, they will be published by year end. John Horn said the books were downloaded to the CPA. He compiled it to current and projections for 2014 and 2013 comparative. He said our cash balances are holding. In the last few years we slid financially but this has now stabilized. A question was raised about target paper acquisition. It is unlikely NBRSA will continue to participate in a bulk purchase partnership with the printer. He said once existing inventory levels are depleted, the targets will probably shift to direct-purchase. Manny Garcia said one of the reasons the clubs do not keep holding matches is they cannot get enough help. He wants to know if some people would want to help Lakeland Club to hold matches. He said there are also very few junior shooters who pursue benchrest. He said over the years he has seen some medical conditions that can wreak havoc during a shoot at a range. He suggests the ranges become equipped with a defibrillator. Ron Miller said respect the ranges by tidying up your area. Chris Harris said he wanted to compliment Bob & Nancy Scarbrough on a well run shoot to which there was a show of applause. He said everyone knows the rules. He suggested limit-
ing the taped rules to the beginning of the day to save time during the match. He also asked whether the members would consider a “handicap system”. He said with a couple smart minds together that it might work. He also said marketing would bring more shooters into the game. He said there are cheaper forms of marketing available to enlighten others as to the benchrest sport. There are free advertising opportunities and perhaps this may increase membership. President Thornbury asked if someone wants to form a committee to examine social media opportunities for the NBRSA. Chris Harris agreed to do this. Wayne Campbell said WBC13 donations are down because the event is in the states and the perception is it will not cost as much. He said it is still not a cheap venture. Corporate sponsors have been great but for the members to help the brothers out if you can. The team will appreciate your help. Walt Berger said he will sponsor the shirts for the USA team again. Motion to adjourn by Ed Adams; second by Wayne Campbell and passed at 2:45pm.
Board of Directors Meeting Pt II:
The Board reconvened 6:30pm at Holton Gun Club. All Regional Directors were present except for Mr Hunter. The main topic from the General Membership Meeting discussion was relay rotation. The Board decided to let stand the 2013 Board decision as written in the 2013 minutes stating that relays must rotate at the Group Nationals. Regarding 2015’s Group Nationals, the Board decided to convene the meeting the morning of the Sporter competition, which is traditionally Tuesday the week of the Group Nationals and then recess until the General Membership Meeting to ensure a quorum is achieved. Rod Brown, North Central Alternate Director discussed internet security. Audrey Brown, Board Secretary suggested including the two existing individual books for Long Range Rules and Score Rules to be included in the current binder for By-Laws and Group Rules. She said everything could fit inside the existing binder by changing to double-sided paper inserts. The Board decided not to pursue this due to costs

December, 2014 Precision Rifleman and noted that all the NBRSA rules for each discipline are on the website and members can download these at will, so the need to print these again would likely pose an unnecessary expenditure at this time. The Trophy Committee timeline was discussed with Terry Meyer to see if he can obtain the needed information to present options to the Board by November 1, 2014 in order to ensure time to purchase recognition for the 2015 National events. He said it is aggressive, but he will try to meet this timeline. Long Range Nationals for 2015 were discussed. Colorado Rifle Club would like to hold the 600 & 1000 yard Nationals. Butch Fjoser asked if the Board wanted him to continue discussions and decide in the next month.* Dan Zaccanti said Rogue Valley Shooting Sports Assn in Oregon was very interested in holding 600 & 1000 yard
Nationals in 2015 as well. Butch Fjoser and Dan Zaccanti will work together to select the best range for this event.* Terry Meyer said Casper Score Shooters changed their bid date for the 2015 Long Range Score Nationals to June. He said he has concerns the event will not generate enough trophy fee money to offset the cost of procurement; however, he asked the Board to award the Long Range Score Nationals to Casper Score Shooters June 6-7, 2014. Motion passed unanimously. Butch Fjoser made a motion to adjourn. Second by Dan Zaccanti and passed unanimously.

Rogue Valley
We had a nice 600-yard benchrest match on September 14 at Rogue Valley Shooting Sports Association. There were twelve shooters who turned out to compete, but due to equipment issues one shooter pulled out and we ultimately had eleven in the match. Canada Cummins, Bruce Bangeman and Bob Dorton did very well in the match and collected some nice wood. We had some returning new shooters come back out and it was nice to see the new faces returning and hope we see them at upcoming matches. The overall winner was John Crawford.
