Per usual I wandered into the sport niche without prior planning. Living in St. Marys,GA about 20 years ago and in the course of frequent trips to the range learned there would be a match and decided to attend. Took my #1 chambered in .257 Roberts hoping to learn something. Yep, it was destined to be. The part that lingers in my memory had me side by side with a genuine member of the US Navy's Palma team. He had something akin to a M14, and I figured he was going to whip my backside. Much to my surprise it went the other way and I was hooked.
I have several old school bench guns of the same spirit as yours that are far too heavy for offhand shooting, muzzle loaders for the most part. Yeah, lift with your legs, not your back.
