Bench Rest Silhouette
About
This match is meant to simulate field or hunting conditions from a rest position at long range targets. In order to make the match as fair as possible, only club provided rest material will be allowed. If a competitor has a rifle equipped with an attached bi-pod, it may be used instead of the provided rest material. A shooter may also shoot from the prone position instead of using the bench.
How A Match Is Run
The match will consist of twenty rounds, fired in four, five shot strings at various steel silhouette targets placed at 500 meters.
We will use modified high power rifle silhouette rules for timing, scoring, and sequence.
Shots will be fired one shot per target, fired left to right in one minute fifteen seconds per five target relay (This is down from the previous matches of 2 minutes 30 seconds per five shot string to the new time of 1 minute 15 seconds per five shot string – or 15 seconds per shot).
For scoring, the competitor with the most targets knocked down will be the match winner. If there is a tie, it will be decided by a sudden death shoot off.
Match winner will receive a prize of $10.
