YARD BENCHREST CLUB
In 1996 the Whitefish, Montana, Rifle and Pistol Club formed an affiliation with the Williamsport, Pa., Original 1000 Yard Benchrest Club to conduct 1000 Yard Matches. Early in 1998 the Northwest 1000 Yard Benchrest Association was formed. All matches are held at the Deep Creek Rifle Range in Missoula, Montana. The club members are continually updating the range and it is now one of the best long distance shooting ranges in the country. We invite all 1000 yard shooters to come and join us in using this great range and joining the Northwest 1000 Yard Club. We have some fine competitions and some of the best shooters in the world. The range is located outside Missoula, Montana, and please call for maps and more information. Phone number is 406-257-3815 and email site is
