NRA Whittington Center Coors Range
The Rattlesnake Benchrest Match is an official National Bench Rest Shooters Association (NBRSA)-sanctioned competition hosted at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico. Organized by the Rio Grande Benchrest Shooters, this match highlights the discipline, technical skill, and attention to detail that define the sport of benchrest shooting.
Competitors will engage in precision rifle competition at regulated distances under official NBRSA rules, striving for the smallest possible shot groups. Benchrest shooting places a premium on rifle setup, ammunition consistency, wind reading, and shooting fundamentals, making this event a true test of marksmanship.
Whether participating or spectating, the Rattlesnake Benchrest Match offers an opportunity to experience top-level benchrest competition, camaraderie among shooters, and the exceptional ranges of the NRA Whittington Center.
