What is Benchrest Shooting?

Benchrest shooting is all about accuracy. Benchrest shooters are notoriously detail-oriented and constantly trying to further the accuracy potential of the rifle through experimentation.

The NBRSA offers three different competitive shooting disciplines:

Group Shooting

NBRSA members compete at 100/200 and/or 300 yard registered Group matches and shoot 5 or 10-shot groups with the goal of shooting the smallest group sizes from an aggregate of 5-8 matches.

Score Shooting

NBRSA members compete at 100/200 and/or 300 yard registered Score matches with the goal of placing a single-shot within a bullseye circle and are further rewarded by shooting the “target-dot” within the bullseye.

Long Range Shooting

NBRSA members compete at both 600 and 1,000 yard registered matches with the goal of achieving the smallest 5 or 10-shot groups with placing your respective group nearest the center of each 600 or 1,000 yard target .
