While Extreme Benchrest is an “open” event with very many air rifle brands represented, there’s no doubt that Daystate air rifles dominated at EBR 2023!
Some competitors shooting Daystate – and BRK (Brocock) for that matter – were part of the official “Daystate Wolf Pack”. That’s a group photograph of the “Wolf Pack” above, together with the company owner (center rear) and designer (far left).
But many other Daystate shooters were genuine enthusiasts who have made the brand their choice. That’s a testament to the quality, accuracy and consistency of the company’s products!
Now, on with the results…
100 Yard Extreme Benchrest Pro Class Finals
Thayne Simmons won the headline Pro Class 100-Yard Extreme Benchrest 2023 competition. Shooting a Karma Red Panda air rifle, he scored an impressive 232 7X. Above we see Thayne with his prize, which included a $7,000 check, plus an expense-paid trip to Daystate in England to collect the Daystate Air Rifle of his choice.

One Gun Challenge
The One Gun Challenge rewards the competitors who use the exact same air rifle for competition in (almost) all courses of fire in the EBR event. Almost? Well, yes, not including Big Bore, of course!
Fady Kiwan from Lebanon won this most challenging title shooting a Daystate Alpha Wolf in .22 caliber. That’s Fady shooting. below.
Speed Silhouette Open Class
This class is “anything goes”! Magazines are loaded and installed before firing commences. Semi-autos are included, too. Here the class was won by Ethan Butterfield, shooting a Semi Automatic Marauder with a record time of 18.81 seconds. That’s the first time ever that this class has been won by a semi-auto!
But Lauren Parsons was close behind shooting a .25 caliber Daystate Delta Wolf, while the 2018 100 Yard Extreme Benchrest winner Claudio Flores was third with an Alpha Wolf in .22 caliber.
