For Benchrest you will need a Rifle (usually bolt action single shot .22LR fitted with a fairly powerful scope) a solid bench, a rest of some description, and a stool.
Most people shoot Benchrest with a .22LR Rifle but you can compete competitively with a good quality Air Rifle ruling out the need for a firearms license.
You will need ear defenders of some sort and accessories you might find useful are Shooting Gloves and an ammunition box.
If you take a look around at the Rifles people are using at the club you will probably see several different types and makes.
Bench rifles are mostly Anschutz but there are other good quality brands such as Walther and Feinwerkbau.
Some Benchrest rifles are old prone rifles that have had the stocks modified in some way to allow then to sit securely on the rest.
The club offer members in house competition’s and also enter The East Yorkshire Benchrest competition each year.
All the equipment required for Benchrest can be supplied by the club.
