Benchrest, shooting from a bench using front and rear rests to hold the rifle in a stable position, aims to encourage
benchrest competition in order to achieve extreme accuracy in firearms, ammunition, equipment and shooting
methods. Members are encouraged to explore the design limits of firearms hardware. After beginning by shooting
with standard rifles and ammunition, many shooters set forth on a personal voyage in pursuit of extreme accuracy.
In doing so, they develop new hardware, adopt better shooting techniques and gain personal satisfaction.
