Benchrest shooting is a rifle sport, where the shooter
attempts to place five or ten shots into the smallest possible group
at distances of 50, 100, 200 and 300 yards. Rifles are fired from rests
which comprise a front rest to support the fore-end of the rifle, and
a rear sandbag to support the butt.
There are six classes of rifle for group shooting comprised of four centrefire
and two rimfire. Benchrest Hunter Class is a shot for score, and has categories
for both centrefire and rimfire.
