Benchrest

Update 12.5.2025: Updated with draft versions (D3) of ARLR and ARHR and first draft RFIS due to the updated shared items information.
13.5.2025: RFLR50 fist draft (D1). This is important because RFLR and RFHR has all the same names. This means that RFHR will be created more or less from RFLR start list.

In final entries member federations gave about 80 % names compared to quotas gained after preliminary entry.

Benchrest air rifle and rimfire events will be organised in the 25 metre and 50 metre ISSF compatible range with WRABF and ERABSF accepted paper targets and electronic scoring machines.

Air rifle classes will be executed first and then rimfire events. The draft schedule is presented below according to the standing Official Rule Book 2023 – 2027 (ver4.3). One discipline will be organised in one day. Because the biggest class is less than 120 athletes, the LOC is considering if classes will be organised in three 40-bench relays or four 30-bench relays a day. Both are possible according to the information concerning shared items.

Here you can study drafts of start lists. Please inform the LOC if you notice issues with shared firearms or rests. Then write to LOC all names using the same equipments. Only in these cases the relays and firing lines will be revised.

The daily program is planned to start at 09:00 o’clock which will be the time for the first match shot. If the number of relays (matches) in some class is smaller than four, the starting time for the first relay may be postponed. This will be announced in the Competition Guide and start lists.

Roll call starts 20 minutes before match firing. The reporting area is behind the range.
Flags assembly starts 10 minutes before match firing
Set up time is to go firing points to prepare rifles, stands and ammunition (range must be free)
Match will last maximum 20 minutes.
