Thanks for the link
Anybody could be a contender but its all about shooting ability. As time has passed and bench gun innovation has made the guns they use quite equal in ability to shoot the bullets all into the same hole under perfect conditions. The ability to read winds and environmental conditions then compensate correctly for their effect on a bullets flight and hopefully land 5 of them into what looks like only one bullet struck the target is what separates the men from the boys in this shooting discipline. The difference between winning and losing is often measured in thousandths of an inch difference in group size. Short Range Benchrest competition can be extremely frustrating yet equally rewarding. It takes a special breed of masochist.
