NBRSA
Also: National Bench Rest Shooters Association
A United States governing body for benchrest competition, setting rules and recognizing records for the most accuracy-focused rifle discipline.
The NBRSA, or National Bench Rest Shooters Association, is a United States governing body for benchrest competition. It writes the rules, sanctions matches, and recognizes records for a sport built entirely around the smallest possible groups fired from a bench. For shooters chasing pure mechanical accuracy, its standards define what counts as a legitimate result.
Matches under its umbrella are scored on group size, which favors rifles, ammunition, and technique tuned to extreme consistency. That focus drives demand for match grade components and handloads, and it places the NBRSA alongside the IBS as one of the two main organizations overseeing American benchrest.
