May 19,2007. A spectacular view in Pennsylvania.

Since 1967, the PA 1000 Yard Benchrest Club has been holding sanctioned competitions of long range benchrest shooting. Owing a lot of its history to the nearby municipality of Williamsport Pennsylvania, it has become known as the "Williamsport Club". We are proud to be the birthplace of 1000 yard shooting. Our club holds ten regular sanctioned matches each season, none any closer than two weeks apart. The 1000 Yard World Open is always held here in July of each year, and also several "Fun Shoot" weekends, before and after the season. Classes fired are Light Gun on Saturdays and Heavy Gun on Sundays. References to these are made repeatedly throughout the site and definitions of each may be found in the rules section.

2023-03-22 - Club opening work detail

REMINDER: *** April 1& 2 is the club opening work detail. We need to help put out the flags, get the pits ready, turn on the water and electric, and other small clean up projects. The more help, the better! Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Bring any tools and supplies that may be needed. ***
IF we get everything finished and opened on Saturday, we will be holding an informal match on Sunday. It all hinges on getting everything opened. We still have lots of work for the clubhouse renovation as well.****

2023-02-19 - Hall Of Fame Records

Thanks!
