About Benchrest

Ultimate precision accuracy competition. Rifles shot from mechanical rests measuring group size.

Why Use a Par Timer for Benchrest?

While precision rifle emphasizes accuracy, time still matters. A par timer helps you build efficient routines for position changes, bolt manipulation, and follow-up shots without sacrificing the precision that wins matches.

Training Plan for Benchrest

1. Consistent Positions

Build a repeatable position for every shooting scenario. Your position should feel the same every time you get into it.

2. Efficient Bolt Work

Work the bolt aggressively without disturbing your position. The rifle should be back on target before you look for your next shot.

3. Time Management

Know how long each shot takes you. Use a par timer to practice making good shots within stage time limits.
