.22LR RIMFIRE BENCHREST

It is really quite simple. We take a 22 long rifle and put it on a benchrest and shoot ABRA-20/ ARA-25 rounds at a target for score at 50 yards in ABRA-15/ARA-20 minutes.
The bullseye on the target is small, about the size of a .22 bullet and so are the scoring rings. In this game, we are striving for the absolute ultimate in accuracy with the targets placed at fifty yards. Our best shooting rifles are quite specialized with custom actions, barrels, triggers, and stocks, not to mention, 36+ power target scopes. We also have some custom 10/22 styled action rifles that are proving to be quite up to the task and sometimes beating the custom bolt action rifles for a lot less cost. We use 1 piece rests as well as 2 piece rests.

.22LR RIMFIRE BENCHREST

The wind is a huge factor on these little bullets. A slight breeze can move a bullet up to an inch. Most shooters use up to four wind flags for fifty yards and wait for the conditions to be the same as the first shot. How we hold the rifle has a great deal of effect on where the shot goes.

We all enjoy the company of others. We shoot for the fun of it but we shoot as well as we can. We all help each other and we are all excited when someone shoots a good score. Come on out and shoot with us. You will find friends here.

ABRA Matches

Auto Benchrest Association began in Boerne, TX in 2014 and we have been sanctioned since the start. The target consists of 20 bull target and a 15 minute time limit. The maximum score is 200. It is designed for use with semi-automatic rifles and the Ruger 10/22 style is one of the most popular and is quite accurate right off the shelf. There are 4 classes shot, Factory, Unlimited, Outlaw Heavy Barrel Bolt and Outlaw Light Barrel Bolt. In addition Junior competitors (7 to 16 years old) shoot beside the Senior competitors, with each class separated for scoring. Factory and Unlimited are required to use two piece rests, while Outlaw Heavy and Lite Bolt can use either one or two piece rest. One of the best things that we have seen is that the match scores are so close to each other, many times being separated by only 1 point over 4 targets, so it is the ultimate close competition.This is a geat sport for the whole family.

ABRA : AUTO BENCHREST ASSOCIATION

The ABRA was created in 2014 and SAGC has been a proud member of the organization since its beginning. The competition consists of 20 bullseyes for score shot in 15 minutes. The maximum score is 200. It uses .22 LR rifles with unlimited scope power and there are 4 classes of rifles we use: Semi-Automatic (such as Ruger 10-22): Factory & Unlimited and bolt rifles: Outlaw Heavy Barrel & Outlaw Light Barrel. Junior shooters are from 7 to 16 years of age and Seniors 17 and up. The interesting part is that both compete at the same time although scored separately. This makes a great way for younger shooters to gain knowledge from Senior shooters. Wind adds an extra element to the sport as it has to be taken into account as we compete.

It is a great sport for all ages and competitors 7 to 16 years of age shoot free.
