SSAA BENCHREST RIFLE
The Benchrest Rifle event is shot at Club, State and National level at various distances and calibres, however only the 50 metre rimfire event is shot at the Club.
The event is a combination of target shooting on scoring targets, or shooting to achieve the smallest grouping of a 5-shot series.
Typically rifle rests and rear stock bags are used for maximum stability, however the shooter requires considerable skill and accuracy to shoot this event well in prevailing weather conditions.
The club has several Benchrest rifles available for club members to use.
