A little background.....I cut my competition teeth shooting point blank Benchrest for several years, then added Hunter Benchrest to the mix for close to 25 years.

I eventually got out of the short range game to concentrate on 1000 yard Benchrest, with an ocassional 600 yard BR match thrown it for good measure.

Never did I, or anyone I knew, shoot a fast twist barrel in short range competition because it was just as accurate as a slow twist barrel......
