Eliminator MatchOriginal Pennsylvania 1000 Yard Benchrest Club, Inc., Range and Club Match Schedule
Want to shoot at 1000 yards? Sign up for the 2026 Benchrest School. June 20-21.
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. Definitions of each may be found in the rules section.
Ray Bellotii shot Group of the day with a 4.363″ and Mark Brown and Bill Nolan shot Scores of the day with 99s.
Great job!
Joe Lapinski shot Group of the day with a 4.528″ and Score of the day in the Heavy Gun Class with a perfect 100.
Awesome!
Great shooting, Joe Lapinski and Kath Cooprider in Match 9 Shootoffs.
Also to Len Palmatier and Louie Miller for your wins in the Heavy Gun Match 9 Shootoffs.
Congratulations!!!
