What is Bench Rest Shooting, and why is it so AWESOME?
Air rifle benchrest shooting is a precision shooting sport in which participants aim to achieve the highest level of accuracy by shooting from a seated position at a bench. A front rest supports the rifle, and often a rear bag, providing stability and allowing shooters to focus on their aim.
What makes it AWESOME?
Precision and Skill: Hitting extremely small targets, sometimes as tiny as 2mm, requires a high level of skill and precision. This challenge makes it incredibly rewarding for shooters.
Adaptability: It can be practiced indoors and outdoors, making it versatile. Shooters must adapt to different conditions, such as wind and weather, which adds to the excitement.
Community and Competition: Benchrest shooting has a strong community and numerous competitions. These events foster camaraderie and provide opportunities to learn from others.
Technical Mastery: Shooters often customize and fine-tune their equipment to gain an edge. This aspect appeals to those who enjoy the technical side of shooting sports.
Accessibility: It’s an excellent way for new shooters to learn, as the bench provides a stable and safe environment to practice and improve their skills.
