Benchrest is a precision shooting sport that focuses on accuracy and consistency. Competitors use specially designed rifles and ammunition to shoot at stationary targets from a fixed position, typically resting their firearms on a bench. The goal is to achieve the tightest grouping of shots possible, often measured in fractions of an inch. In benchrest competitions, shooters are categorized by various classes based on their equipment and skill levels. Events can vary in distance, commonly ranging from 100 to 1000 yards. The sport emphasizes meticulous attention to detail in both shooting technique and equipment setup.
