About the Federation

Mandate

SABSF is the single governing body for benchrest rifle shooting in South Africa. We sanction matches, set classification tolerances, ratify records, and represent the sport internationally.

We operate through affiliated regional clubs, each running its own range and club series, with the federation supplying the shared rulebook, calendar, and national record book that makes results directly comparable.

Scope of governance

• Match rules for Light Varmint, Heavy Varmint, Sporter, and Unlimited classes
• Range safety and equipment standards
• National record book and ranking calculations
• Range officer and match director accreditation
• Regional and international representation
