I looked at the Extreme Benchrest site, http://www.extremebenchrest.com/, about the rules for speed shooting. I have a few questions if anyone may know the answer.

1. Can a one piece rest be use? I didn't see in the rules that it could not be used, however, it did not say it could be used. On other the shooting events, in states it can be used for that particular event.

2. What distances are the targets set up for? The rules shows 16 targets between 30-60 yards. Is the yardage equally divided between 30-60 or is it set at the time of the shoot?

2. What distances are the targets set up for? The rules shows 16 targets between 30-60 yards. Is the yardage equally divided between 30-60 or is it set at the time of the shoot? Yes the targets are set up equally. 4 at 30, 4 at 40, 4 at 50 and 4 at 60 yards exactly as you stated...targets are arranged small to large/front to back.

"Tominco"I don't recall the official rules on the 1 piece bench. But, I wouldn't use one anyway. You're going to be moving a LOT during that competition! I'd recommend a sandbag or bipod front rest. 

The targets are set up at 30,40,50,and 60 yards. Little guys up front big guys in the back! 
Hope to meet you there!

I can give a front rest a try as well as the sand bags, I have both.

On shooting the targets, is it like shooting silhouette? Meaning you have to shoot certain critters in a certain order?

It seems like the rules are a little vague.

"blackjack21"How thick are the 1/5 scale targets that are used?

They are .25 thick.

I bought a set on eBay. Mine has the bases. You can buy with our without bases. If you have a plasma cutter you can make your own set and weld bases to them. I saw some patterns that could be converted to a g code for the plasma.
