Benchrest Open House

Attention all HRC Members, Guests, and Juniors!

Get ready to unleash your competitive spirit because we are thrilled to invite you—and a guest, including our enthusiastic juniors—to the highly anticipated ‘PULL THE TRIGGER’ PRECISION BENCHREST OPEN HOUSE!

This is a unique opportunity for you to sit behind and shoot an impressive array of rifles, ranging from factory models to custom made, while you get to shoot at precision targets. Witness in real time why precision rimfire benchrest shooting has become one of the fastest growing shooting discipline in the USA and the world.

Are you ready to ‘hit the • dot’? Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 11 AM to 2 PM at the HRC 50-yard covered range. Don’t forget to bring your eye and ear protection for you and your guests—safety first, folks! Just a quick note: while our esteemed HRC members can unleash their shooting prowess, guests are encouraged to come-but will not be allowed to shoot.

Now, let's talk about the delicious part—delight in HOT DOGS & HAMBURGERS, all on the house, courtesy of HRC! Plus, who doesn’t love FREE Door Prizes?

But why should you come, you ask? Because this is not just about pulling a trigger; it’s about embracing the exhilarating challenge and witnessing the extraordinary journey of a .22 LR bullet as it boldly navigates the elements to hit its mark. This event promises to be an inspiring adventure that will not only enhance your marksmanship skills but also deepen your appreciation for the remarkable art of precision shooting. So, come on up and join us for a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and tasty treats!

Perfect for beginners and advanced shooters, you’ll see just how accessible and fun Benchrest Precision shooting can be by checking out our NEW dedicated "Factory" class division, sparking enthusiasm among owners of popular rifles like the 10/22, Savage Mark IV, and many other basic .22 LR rifles that you may have in your safe or that can be purchased at gun shops anywhere.
