For those who have never shot a benchrest match, here's your opportunity to try the game without the load development or entry fees!

http://www.benchrest.ru/virtualbenchrest.html

Read the Help section first and then Enjoy!

Best.

ADDED:

This is a link to a slightly older shooting game. Actually, it's a demo not a game. It's long range target scenarios with targets at various distance and sizes. There are 3 choices of rifles also.

    freemind,

    When the applet finishes loading, a benchrest target frame appears with a clock and digital score/shot minder. Below this is a radio button that is labeled 'Help' and it IS in English.

    Here's the quick help version.

    The upper target is for score lower for sighters. Commence firing allows you to shoot. Eachtime you shoot the scope goes up and you have to re-aim it.

    The wind meter on the right gives wind direction and the bar to the right of it goes up or down depending on wind velocity. You have unlimited sighters so shoot the lower target and gauge where the bullets land according to the wind direction and speed. The timer is there for the standard match time. After firing hit reset and all your numbers go away. When you hit Commence firing again the holes in your target go away....and you're shooting in a match again. Keep tryin' for the smallest hole. It's quite a challenge to get really small. getting an inch isn't that hard once you've done it a time or two.

    I tried it twice. .928 and .888. I'll try it again after a 2nd cup of coffee.

    Shot (?) a two shot same hole group and then the wind kicked up.

    5-5 Aggregate: 0.254"

    Smallest: 0.212"

    Largest: 0.300"

    If only I could "dope" the wind that well in RT.

    Open this game with IE6 or 7. It won't work with Firefox.
