MISSION STATEMENT
It shall be the mission of the
World Benchrest Shooting Federation
to assist the establishment of competitive
Benchrest Target Shooting in all countries
and to assist member Associations facilitate
the holding
of Biennial World Championships.
Objectives
The following objectives are the agreed direction and purpose of the World Benchrest Shooting Federation, and all events within their jurisdiction should follow the spirit of these objectives. It is expected that all competitors and officials will equally respect these objectives.
Objective 1: Promote the sports shooting discipline of Benchrest on an International level
Objective 2: Development of standardised rules so all countries can compete on an equal basis.
Objective 3: To provide fellowship amongst the Benchrest shooting community for the benefit of all.
Objective 4: To provide a forum for the exchange of thoughts and ideas on sports shooting accuracy related subjects at an international level.
Objective 5: Establish a set of World Records that pertain to and only can be competed for at World Benchrest Shooting Championships and other events, sanctioned by the International Delegates Committee.
INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this Manual
This Manual should be read in conjunction with the World Benchrest Shooting Federation Rule Book. This Manual and the Rule Book has been developed and approved by the International Delegates to the World Championships in Benchrest Target Shooting to assist future administrators in the preparation for, and the conduct of, the World Benchrest Shooting Championships.
These is not seen as exhaustive documents, but rather as ones that can be developed, improved and expanded as the experience grows within the sport. Future administrators are encouraged to undertake regular reviews of the procedures to ensure they are current and relevant.
From the practical experience of those closely associated with the delivery of previous championships, it is fully appreciated that the depth of knowledge and the time commitment necessary to administer such an event is extensive. We urge that this not be underestimated, and it is firmly recommended that a core Organising Committee be established a minimum of two years ahead, with a chairperson experienced in the international scene.
The importance of the event to the competitors should also not be underestimated, and as such, we owe it to all participants to conduct the event in a manner consistent with their expectations. Attention is also drawn to the invaluable role of the many volunteers necessary to conduct these championships. It is vital their contribution not be forgotten. If we strive for a partnership between all participants, be they competitors, technical staff or range volunteers, we can conduct an event equal to any on the worldwide shooting scene.
Expansion of the number of countries competing at the World Championships is a priority. Every endeavour must be made to encourage the sport of shooting in our area of influence.
The Delegates Committee wishes to formally recognise the role played by the National Bench Rest Shooting Association (USA) in the steps taken to initially establish the International aspect of our sport, on whose Rules and By-laws we have used as the basis of our own Rules. We also acknowledge those “fathers” of the Championship, namely Mr Walt Berger, Mr Herve du Plessis and Mr Skip Gordon. We are all indebted to your foresight in establishing our sport on the International scene.

Section 5 Personnel
5.1
Volunteers.
The championship will not operate without the input a number of volunteers.
Therefore a particular effort should be made to ensure that their services are recognised in a proper manner.
Such acknowledgment will be limited by budgetary constraints, but history shows this does not need to be extensive. It is important an effort is made however. It is suggested that a "Certificate of Participation" be produced for voluntary staff.
In addition it may be possible to provide a commemorative badge and should same be available, a championship T shirt or cap.
Many of the volunteers have special skills that are vital to the sport and their continued support must be maintained.
5.2
Disabled Access.
Consideration needs be given on all sites to ensure the obligations for disabled access are met.
5.3
Volunteer Refreshments.
It is important that adequate advise is provided to all volunteers as to the level and location of refreshments that will be provided to them. It is required that, as a minimum, tea and coffee are provided for in the budget.
If lunches are not provided to the volunteers, then an ordering system must be arranged, particularly for those who are in areas such as Target Control. The workload often requires long hours of attendance and their needs must be addressed.
5.4
Personal Identification
A system of personal identification should be provided for all those involved in the championship. Each group of participants i.e. competitors, organising committee, technical official, range volunteers should be colour coded to enable appropriate identification and access where necessary. The system does not need to be elaborate or expensive. Coloured card, appropriately named and identified, heat sealed and able to be pinned to clothing is all that is necessary.
5.5
Staff Identification
It is necessary to establish a method of operational staff identification to ensure clear definition of role and reduce confusion.
General range volunteers - recommended a distinctive Cap be provided.
Range Officers - A bright coloured jerkin or top be provided.
Section 6
Administration
6.1
Administration Office.
There will be a need to establish a centralised administration office.
THE WORKLOAD SHOULD NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED.
This area will be the overall operations centre. Inquires from team management, in particular from guests, will be heavy until, such time as they become accustomed to the way our championship is conducted.
6.2
Official Programme.
A programme of events including names of competitors together with any relevant administrative information should be supplied to all competitors, team, technical officials and volunteers as necessary.
6.3 Accommodation.
It is recommended that accommodation options are provided to countries in briefing information provided to the Delegates Committee. Medium priced Hotel/Motel type accommodation of a reasonable standard is all that is required for most competitors and officials.
Final information should be provided to participant countries when preliminary entries are sought 9 months pre-competition, together with details of when and to whom payment is required and the methods of payment that is acceptable.
6.4
Publicity.
Every endeavour should be made to achieve maximum exposure for our sport in the media. The early appointment of a media liaison person should be arranged as a specialist position, preferably a person with knowledge and skill in this area.
Television may
need as much as 12 months notice if they are to programme the event into their
schedule.
6.5
Rest Area Cover
Should adequate permanent facilities not be available, consideration needs to be given to the availability of covered areas for rest during wait times for competition.
6.6
Water / Refreshments.
The provision of adequate facilities to enable competitors to secure refreshments is required. The consumption of water is usually at high levels and chilled or bottled water should be available. The provision of complimentary tea and coffee is recommended.
6.7
Range Parking.
An evaluation needs to be undertaken at all sites as to the availability of adequate parking, bearing in mind that most competitors will be travelling in hire - vans. The requirement could be extensive at some venues.
Special thought needs to be given to the volunteers, in particular those who are not young in years but are giving long hours to assist the championship.
Their needs may override that of the competitors.
6.8 Range Emergency Access.
Particular attention is needed to access / egress for emergency purposes.
6.9
Range Directions / Signage.
Though should be given to appropriate roadside signage to direct traffic and develop further interest in the championship. Care needs to be taken not to exceed local authority by-laws.
6.10 Communications.
The availability of adequate communication systems must be considered. The range should be equipped with at least one telephone. (Cellular phones are acceptable if there is no alternative).
6.11 Flags and Flag Poles.
To ensure the championship assumes an international flavour, it is important to ensure participant country flags are flown at the venue used in the championship. The number of flag poles need to be considered with one per country preferred.
6.12 Gunsmith Services.
Although not necessary to have a gunsmith on site, arrangements should be made to have local expertise on call, or access to suitable facilities.
This information should be advised in the competitor packs.
6.13 Transport.
Availability of charter buses, hire vans, cars etc should be negotiated with a local company at an early date and preliminary requirements sought from member and guest associations. Hotels providing accommodation may be prepared to provide a courtesy service, or provide discounted travel.
6.14 Drivers.
It should not be assumed that overseas guests can drive their own vehicles. They may not have suitable drivers and in addition may have little local language.
6.15 Interpreters.
An interpretation service may be necessary. Approaches to local language students could be a most welcome opportunity to exchange skills.
6.16
Competitor Packs.
Competitor packs are a useful method of delivering a variety of event and tourist material, together with any sponsor products etc. It is further suggested that full details of any marketed products and prices are provided within the packs to ensure everyone is fully aware of availability and where they can be obtained. Such packs should be supplied to all competitors, team and technical officials as they register on arrival.
6.17 Range catering requirements
The availability of suitable food and refreshments at the range facilities needs careful study. Dependant on accommodation arrangements, it is likely that substantial supplies of lunches and other refreshments will be required.
6.18
Marketing Opportunities.
Considerable
opportunities exist to market a variety of goods and apparel associated with
the championship. Items such as sweatshirts, T shirts, badges etc are usually
in demand from those participating. A limited supply of other souvenirs are
equally marketable.
6.19 Trade Displays.
Consideration should be given to providing the opportunity for trade displays relevant to the sport, where possible promoting items that are developed, manufactured or unique to the sport of bench rest.
6.20 Currency Exchange.
Information should be provided in competitor packs, on currency exchange arrangements including local and convenient locations to undertake such transactions.
6.21 Medical Treatment
Medical assistance is not necessarily required on site, however detail of emergency services or doctors on duty should be widely available.
6.22
Insurance Implications
Tournament: Organising Committee need to consider the implications of Insurance claims for damage or negligence that may occur as part of the operation of the championship.
Personal: Teams visiting the championship should be advised of their obligations to ensure adequate personal travel insurance is obtained prior to departure from their home country.
6.23 Freight Reception
The appointment of an Individual or system is required, to ease the process of teams forward sending equipment to the championships. Such arrangements need to be advised when preliminary entry information is sought from the member countries
6.24
Visa Requirements.
Full information needs to be supplied by the Organising Committee to member Countries/Associations as to the Visa requirements necessary for participants to enter the host country.
6.25 Import / Export Requirements.
With the changing scene on firearms, the movement of the necessary equipment for competition needs particular care and attention.
Little difficulty should be experienced however, providing early consultation with the appropriate authorities are undertake well in advance.
It is recommended:
Twelve months prior to competition, direct consultation is held with the local authorities to establish the precise requirements on the import, storage and export of firearms.
Known requirements are to be advised to all countries at the time of seeking preliminary entries. Prior to arrival in the country, participants should receive final information on the procedures to be followed on arrival and departure.
This information should include:
· Whether they will be welcomed at the airport.
· Details of firearm clearance / permits and whether specific delivery and storage arrangements are required.
· Transport arrangements.
Establishment of a centralised storage facility should be included in the plan of arrangements, if required, under local firearm legislation.
The following services should be considered if local regulations require the Organising Committee to secure firearms for the Championship period.
Reception at airport, assistance with licensing details and transport of firearms to secure facility.
Management and secure of the facility for the full period of the championship.
Disbursement of the firearms at the end of competition needs planning as many flights out of the host country could leave early. The additional time requirements to clear the firearms with the authorities prior to departure may require special attention.
SPECIAL NOTE: Participant
Federations equally should not ignore the changing scene in their home country
regarding the export and re-import of firearms and equipment.
SECTION 7 Ceremonies
and Functions
7.1 Medal Ceremonies.
It is for the organising committee to arrange the style and venue for medal ceremonies to suit their own occasion. This would normally be held as part of an overall closing / social function.
7.2
Opening Ceremony.
An opening ceremony is an excellent opportunity to promote the sport in front of invited guests, and equally sets the stage for competition. It is suggested that early consideration be given to a list of guest speakers who are important to the sport. Politicians, City Officials etc. often need to be booked several months in advance.
It is normal practise, that such an event would be staged on the opening morning of the competition however alternative options could be explored. The style and content of the ceremony is at the discretion of the host association.
7.3
Closing Ceremony.
The style and format of a closing ceremony / function should also be considered.
It is generally recognised that a semi-formal function should be arranged.
It is recommended that during this function, the teams from each country should be presented to the function as an acknowledgment of their participation.
7.4 Other Functions
Any additional functions are at the discretion of the Organising Committee.
7.5
Meetings
Meetings are required as follows:
Technical Meeting: This to be held at the range, if a suitable venue is available, at least 24 hours before the commencement of competition.
The purpose of the meeting is to ensure critical staff and Team Officials are briefed on final arrangements for the Championship, and to deal with any particular concerns.
The following are required to attend:
All Delegation Leaders and Interpreters as required.
All Technical Staff.
Other Team Officials/Coaches – optional.
See Appendix A for Agenda.

This should not be planned to commence before 7.30pm.
SECTION 8 TARGET SUPPLIES and RELOADING
8.1 Target Supplies.
An early assessment and ordering of approved targets should be undertaken.
The approved targets for the Championship are the WBSF 100,200 and 300 yd/m Targets or local print to the same design and colour approved by the WBSF Delegates Committee. If purchasing targets from outside the country, shipping or more.
8.2
