  The Norwegian Benchrest Shooting Association, Norwegian Norges Benkeskytterforbund (NBSF), is the Norwegian association for benchrest shooting under the World Benchrest Shooting Federation (WBSF), as well as the long range disciplines 500 UNL and F-Class. The organization was founded in 1996
  
  While most benchrest matches in Norway and the rest of the world are held at 100 and 200 meters, 500 m benchrest matches are a unique Norwegian benchrest discipline which has been considered as a crossover discipline between benchrest and long range shooting. The first 500 m benchrest event in Norway was conducted in March 2007.
  
  The long range discipline F-Class shooting was added as a discipline in 2011, and the first Norwegian national F-Class championship was held in 2017.
  
  Formerly NBSF had a members magazine called Benkeskytteren (The Benchrest Shooter).
