    Question Is Benchrest still a thing?

    Spowcan, WA – Members of the Big Tree Rod & Gun Club met last week to determine the fate of another member. James VanMikal claims that the club is unfairly targeting him because of his recent winning streak. The entire benchrest shooting community eagerly waits for the mailed club newsletter to announce his fate.

    The article to which you linked has to be satirical in the style of "The Onion". And yes, bench rest is still a "thing".

    Adios,

    Go up to Ridgway Rifle Club and check out their Varmint Bench Rest matches. Shooting 24" high steel targets at 1000 yds.

    It's really something to see in person. Take binoculars.

    Bench rest is for old people who have a lot of money to spend!
