WORLD BENCHREST SHOOTING FEDERATION

INTRODUCTIONPurpose 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 are 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 of 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 IdentificationA 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 IdentificationIt 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.

6.4 Publicity.Every endeavour should be made to achieve maximum exposure for our sport in the media.

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.Thought 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.

6.14 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.

Such packs should be supplied to all competitors, team and technical officials as they register on arrival.

6.17 Range catering requirementsThe 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.

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.

of arrangements. Local firearm legislation needs to be considered.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.
