BenchMaster Shooting Rests

About BenchMaster

BenchMaster has been dedicated to providing high-quality shooting accessories since 1988, when it was founded in a small town in Pennsylvania.

The original founder envisioned creating a high-quality, sturdy steel, simply designed shooting platform that could be made in the USA to last a lifetime.

In fall 2008, Altus Brands acquired BenchMaster to keep this American tradition alive and growing when the former owner contemplated retirement.

Under Altus Brands ownership, BenchMaster has continued building on their stellar reputation for quality while introducing innovative new products like shooting bags with EZ Fill spouts and the Thompson Long Range Shooting Table.

Today, BenchMaster maintains its commitment to American manufacturing from their facility in Traverse City, Michigan, with their motto "Made in the USA. Guaranteed Forever."
