Benchrest Shooting

Benchrest shooting is a precision shooting discipline where competitors aim to achieve the tightest grouping of shots possible, typically at distances of 100 to 1,000 yards. Shooters use a stable, fixed bench setup that includes a specially designed rifle rest to eliminate human error and enhance accuracy. The sport emphasizes skill in both rifle handling and marksmanship, with participants often customizing their rifles and ammunition for optimal performance. Benchrest competitions are often divided into different classes based on equipment and distance, attracting enthusiasts who value the technical aspects of shooting.
