Dwight,

It’s pretty much generally accepted that the distance to the target is taken from the front of the bench and ideally the bottom of the target should be level with the top of the bench.

I found these rules which seem to cover it:

B12: Firing Line:
The firing line shall preferably be coincident with the forward edge of the bench. If not, the line must
be clearly marked on the bench.

B14: Position on the bench:
The rifle shall be so placed that the muzzle extends forward of the bench and the entire receiver of the
rifle is behind the firing line.
