Benchrest & Field Target Shooting Rifle Scopes
Benchrest shooting is a precision sport where shooters aim at paper targets using high-accuracy rifles. Competitors shoot from a bench with the rifle supported by front and rear rests.
The common shooting distances include 25m, 50m, 100, 200 and 300 yards.
What is Field Target?
Field target is an outdoor airgun field shooting sport. Competitions are usually fired at self indicating steel targets placed between 9 and 50 m (9.8 and 54.7 yd). There are two classes; Piston for spring-piston air guns, and PCP for pre-charged pneumatic air guns. In sanctioned competitions, the same competition rule set is used around most of the world. A small match can consist of 40 to 60 rounds, while the world championship consists of 150 rounds. It is common to use scope sights with high magnification and a short depth of field such that an adjustable parallax knob can be used to precisely determine the target distance. The target kill zones have three standardised sizes, which are 15 mm (placed between 12 and 23 m), 25 mm (placed between 7 and 37 m) or 40 mm (placed between 7 and 42 m).
