One of the great things about Extreme Benchrest is that many familiar names from the airgun industry are here too. They attend to be part of this event and, often, to shoot in the competition also. So they’re not just in it for the money, they really enjoy shooting airguns and being part of the sport.
We’ve already met Giles Barry “Mr Airgun Gear Show“, Ted Bier of Ted’s Holdover and Steve Corcoran, the famed stock maker, in previous reports. And, of course, Fredrik Axelsson from FX Airguns has appeared too. Today, we’ll see some of the other industry figures who are enjoying the shooting and sunshine…
