BRITISH BENCHREST RIFLE CLUB
 |
|
Benchrest shooting is a
thrilling sport which is dedicated to extreme accuracy. We mainly shoot
100 yard events with fullbore rifles from the comfort of a seat and
bench and under the sheltered of a canopy roof. Some members reload on
site in the undercover reloading area.
This is superb testing ground
to tune and improve your rifles accuracy and there is always lots of
friendly help for those who want to learn more.
You do not need a custom Benchrest gun to shoot
Benchrest, just a 20x or more scope, a rest and your most accurate rifle.
The 'British Benchrest Club' meet at the
'National Shooting Centre' at Bisley, Nr
Woking. If you hold a Firearms Licence and are interested in this type
of precision shooting then you are very welcome to attend and shoot at one of our
monthly meetings. |

BENCHREST SHOOTING |
|
Benchrest shooting is about
extreme accuracy. The aim is to get the smallest possible group of
shots, as opposed to hitting the centre of the target. A fully tailored Benchrest
rifle
is a precision instrument and cannot be purchased 'off the shelf' from
your local gunsmith. It is built using specialist actions and precision
barrels. The ultimate aim is to build the most accurate rifle in the
world. At Bisley we mainly shoot 100 yard Benchrest and for this
discipline the most accurate cartridge is usually considered to be the
6mm PPC. Most 100/200 yard Benchrest rifles are chambered for this
calibre. |
