I had no idea that the ARA even existed, found out doing a search for benchrest stuff on the net. I was intrigued to say the least when I saw the targets. The individual targets are quite small, especially @ 50 yards and the scoring is heavily weighted to the bullseye. I thought I had to try it, so I went to their site and downloaded a target.
I wasn't expecting much because of the size if the individual targets and also because I was using my new 457 American from a bipod and a rear bag, not exactly a benchrest setup! I realize that this is a .22 LR game and I used a .22 magnum but I figured that was a disadvantage as well because the .22 WMR is not supposed to be as accurate as the .22 LR.
Didn't do to bad for my first time I guess. Shot a 1775 out of a possible 2500. I'll take it
. It's difficult because you have to change your rifle's position for every shot.
Here's the individual target size:
And my whole sheet:
