BRITISH BENCHREST 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 scope and a rifle. There are some advantages in having a 20x or more magnification scope.

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 one of our monthly meetings.

MEETINGS

Monthly meetings are from 9.00am to approx 3.00pm at the National Shooting Centre, Queens Road, Bisley, Brookwood, Woking, Surrey, GU24 0PB
