BENCHREST

1000 yard Benchrest, also known as precision shooting, is shot from a bench. High performance scoped target rifles are used and mainly custom made. In competition two classes are used, known as Light Gun and Heavy Gun. The difference is that the Light Gun class has limitations to the weight of the rifle and the Heavy Gun class not.​

Canberra Rifle Club shoots 1000yds Benchrest regularly and is looking to grow the 600yds competition.

​

We are also investigating 22LR Benchrest.
