Small bore bench rest

[Ski5252]

Hello all. I’m curious if anyone knows of any bench rest competitions for 22lr. My daughter loves shooting and I have been looking for just a simple bench rest competition to start with. If anyone has any information on something like this I would greatly appreciate. I have been looking around and mostly only can find multi positions, which will be fine with a bit more practice but if there is a bench rest class that would be best for now. Thanks !

ARA benchrest at Marion County Fish & Game should start monthly in April. Has unlimited and factory class. Shoots ARA target at 50 yards. Look on MCF&G website calendar or https://www.americanrimfire.com/. There are several other clubs in Indiana that shoot this as well. I also believe there are youth specific events at Camp Atterbury. Check the CMP website as well.

Danville Conservation Club will have events in warm weather I presume. I shot there a couple times last year.

Hoosier Hills has the occasional benchrest rimfire match on thursday nights and she's welcome to shoot rimfire at nominally centerfire matches. We also have a youth marksmanship program Weds evenings that does benchrest and 3-position shooting. HHRP.org
