Our site will be updated with news, scores and other information for those who participate in, or want to participate in, air rifle benchrest. So, use our website to learn and understand more about this precision shooting sport.

Your input for changes and improvements to this site are always welcome.

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.

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.
