WHAT IS BENCHREST AIR 25M

Benchrest shooting is a friendly and enjoyable sport in which rifles are shot at paper targets. The rifles ride on a front and rear rest, the rests may or may not be joined, depending on the rules of a particular competition. The rests sit on a table or bench, hence the name “benchrest.” The shooter simply sits at the bench, in line with other shooting disciplines, where the shooter holds and aims the rifle. 

Benchrest can be shot indoors or outdoors in all weather using an Air rifle. The targets are set at a distance of 25 meters for Air rifle. The targets are A3 in size and each one consists of 25 individual scoring targets and 5 sighting targets down each side. Multiple shots can be taken at the sighting targets but only one shot per scoring target is allowed. We shoot within a 20 minute detail. Outside wind flags can be used to aid accuracy and help the shooter determine wind speed and direction.
