When you say challenging do you mean to win? If to win both in my opinion are pretty close in difficulty with benchrest being slightly more difficult because of the larger number of competitors. Ft is very hard to have a perfect score and thats what sometimes wins, but not often.What would you feel to be the most challenging FT or Benchrest?
FT requires different techniques, equipment and mindset. Also, ft shooting techniques require stability in less than ideal conditions while processing wind speed, direction and target distance.I guess that I was referring to challenging to shoot, benchrest you set up and it comes down to equipment it appears as most of the top shooters use the same equipment and when something new evolves they migrate to that ie the Red panda. Thats why I wonder if FT is more focused on shooting ability from less than desirable positions.
