Welcome to
United States Air Rifle Benchrest

Air Rifle Benchrest continues to grow in the United States. Currently, eighteen sanctioned clubs throughout the United States offer competition. Please see the Clubs page to find one near you. If you are interested in sanctioning a club, please send an email to the USARB Board of Directors using the Contact page.

In the interest of continuing this growth, we updated this website to promote this sport throughout the United States and the world. Your input for changes and improvements to this site are always welcome.

Adoption of Bylaws

Recently adopted is a set of bylaws intended to guide and direct the governance of USARB. Individual members of this association may not agree with all aspects of these bylaws, but it is the hope of the Board, that all will agree with the effort towards greater transparency and accountability. They are located under the “Directives” tab in the menu bar at the top of the home page.

50 Yard Targets

USARB is now distributing, on a trial basis, sanctioned targets for 50 yard Open, Unlimited, and Spring Piston class shooting. Required use of these targets for USA Record submittals, and Scoreline inclusion is the same as the existing 25 meter sanctioned target program. Refer to the bottom of the Target and Scoring Page for particulars on cost and ordering.

Scoring Plug Program

USARB has initiated a program to distribute two custom scoring plugs free of charge to sanctioned clubs that request them. The intent is to make tools available that we believe will promote better scoring practices and reliable outcomes.

Sanctioning

A $25.00 yearly, per club donation will be collected for sanctioning purposes. See “Affiliated Clubs” page for detailed mailing information, and individual club listings for sanctioning status. Funds will be used to cover both organizational expenses and discretionary items.

USA Spring Piston Class

Permanent sanctioning will be based on visible participation by shooters as evidenced by club competition scores posted to USARB Scoreline page. Rules for this class were developed with the cooperation of a group of respected Match Directors interested in promoting the class. The Board of Directors wishes to convey its appreciation of all members of this Committee for their leadership, effort, and end product.
