A New Rimfire Benchrest Game

Jim Brossman from the US has come up with an excellent simulation/ game for rimfire BR shooters. It is free and easy to use. He has now put on the UKBR22 target as well as the USBR, ARA and IR50/50 targets. Have a go it is lot of fun, and a bit easier than the range if you set wind speeds low. Watch out for the random 10mph winds though.....
