Some of you may have seen that a new Australian benchrest website has been developed www.benchrestaustralia.com
I have agreed to sell them Benchrest Bulletin, as well at the Benchrest Scoring program that I developed.
BB came on line in 1998, and it has done what I wanted it to do. The time has come for someone else to take over.
This works well for me, as I have retired from shooting benchrest, 50 years is enough for me to call time!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to BB and to all those competitors I have shared benches with at Australian matches as well as at 4 World Benchrest Championships.
Benchrest has been very important to me, but with ranges seeming to disappear and no matches in Sydney, I decided enough was enough.
I am putting all my energy into my latest project, which is an American style sports bar.
Feel free to drop in and say hello!
Thank you!
Thank you for your time, effort and patience.
Thank you for your inclusion of benchrest competition, regardless of the parent organisation. BB has been our reliable source of information for our shooting careers.
We wish you all the best with this new chapter in your life.

You have provided the Benchrest shooters with a great service when there was none. I remember when you did a printed newsletter, also with the same name, that was mailed to the shooters. This was followed on by this website that shooters became familiar with. Enjoy your retirement Rob and thank you for your friendship.
Kind regards

I believe that the BR shooters and those mildly interested in the sport owe you a lot of gratitude for providing this website for so many years. I am happy to have provided numerous photos over the years so that you could continue to promote this BR sport of ours.
All things change and I hope you will enjoy your new venture.
Best of luck!
I don't think anyone would believe how many hours I spent on the site, as well as developing my BR scoring program which is used by most ranges in Australia and even a few overseas.

Thanks for your time and effort Rob. I imagine it would have been a huge job requirinng thousands of hours over the years. Good luck with the sports bar. Let us know where it is when finished.
