NRA Whittington Center Coors Range
The Firecracker 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 showcases the discipline, precision, and technical excellence that define benchrest shooting.
Competitors will test their skills at regulated distances, striving for the smallest possible shot groups while adhering to official NBRSA rules and classifications. Benchrest shooting demands meticulous attention to equipment, ammunition, wind reading, and shooting technique—making this match a true measure of marksmanship.
Whether you are a seasoned competitor or a spectator interested in precision rifle shooting, The Firecracker Benchrest Match offers a unique opportunity to experience high-level competition, camaraderie, and the world-class ranges of the NRA Whittington Center
