Idaho State Championship Hunter

The Idaho State Championship Hunter is a precision rifle marksmanship event sanctioned by the National Bench Rest Shooters Association (NBRSA). Competitors shoot from a bench rest position at various distances, focusing on accuracy and consistency rather than speed.

This championship-level competition tests your ability to place shots precisely on target under controlled conditions. Shooters compete in bench rest format, meaning you'll shoot from a stationary bench with rifle support. The event typically features multiple shooting distances and may include different caliber or rifle divisions based on NBRSA guidelines.

Competitors are ranked on the tightness of their groups and overall accuracy. The bench rest format eliminates variables like shooting position and focuses entirely on marksmanship fundamentals, rifle tuning, and ammunition quality.

This event is designed for shooters with bench rest experience or those serious about precision rifle shooting. You should be comfortable with: - Rifle setup and maintenance - Load development and ammunition preparation - Reading wind and environmental conditions - Following strict range protocols

Hunters looking to verify their shooting accuracy at hunting distances will find this event valuable for skill development.

The competition takes place at Lewis-Clark Wildlife Club in Lewiston, Idaho, a well-established range facility supporting precision shooting events.
