Air Rifle Bench Rest Competition Shooting

[Alegazmoz]

..... sorry, shooting off a bench with a springer might be a laugh initially, but the fun doesn't last and you'll realise that a PCP, or match rifle are the only way to go.

We shoot 25m and 40m benchrest springers in our little club, I'm not sure whether using a beanbag is technically benchrest....but our rules say only one support can be used, ie; Beanbag, bipod (When using a pcp), ricebag, cushion etc whatever...but one rest only. We often have scores of 97/98 ex 100, this is with an 8mm bullseye at those distances...fun fun fun.

If you enjoy shooting the benchrest why not join this lots http://www.benchrest22.org/home.htm postal league. Look at the scores in the Unlimited air rifle they are shooting 2mm bulls.

Thanks for that but I've never had a problem with shooting with my HW80 off benchrest and have hit cans consistently at 40m+. Thanks for all the infor and yes I might buy a PCP in the near future when I get into the sport seriously

Thanks

How big are those tin cans because if they are twice the size of what Gary is aiming at that makes them 4mm and that is huge. Wont get much coca cola in them though.
