Okay, not clays but rifles rested on a bench whacking rodents (or targets that look like rodents), right?

Not exactly. Short range benchrest is trying to put 5 bullets (10 for unlimited class) in the same hole at 100, 200 and sometimes 300 yards.

Here is a picture of a 200 yard potential world record shot a few weeks ago by a friend of mine sitting two benches to my left. The group measures .047 center to center and was shot at 200 yards. The signatures are where the referees and range officer signed to submit to the NBRSA records committee.

Forgot to mention...that picture is five bullets at 200 yards through the same hole. Scoring is by group size, not where it hits on the target.

Here's a link to an article on the history of the PPC cartridge which most of us shoot. This is the most accurate cartridge in the world.

Here's a picture of a typical benchrest rifle along with Farley front rest and rear bag.
