In Bench Rest shooting, participants fire their rounds while seated at a steady bench with the rifle supported by a front and rear rest. This allows for highly precise bullet placement.

The goals for the Bench Rest shooters at MSA are the same as the National Bench Rest Shooters Association:

• The development and encouragement of extreme accuracy in rifles, ammunition, equipment and shooting methods;
• The achievement of extreme precision in rifles, ammunition, equipment, and shooting methods by shooting "groups";
• To standardize on a national basis the entire Bench Rest Shooting program so that targets, ranges, scoring methods, records and match procedure will be uniform and comparable;
• To assist and encourage any individual or organization in the promotion of Bench Rest shooting; and,
• To gather and make available to it's members pertinent statistics and technical data.
