Military Rifle Matches
The military rifle matches are predominately shot on a 4 foot military target (black and yellow) and the smaller figure 11 and 12 targets. The Fig 11 and 12 targets are those small pesky hard to see ones.
Competitors are encouraged to use a military issued rifle. However any rifle can be used to participate. Scores recorded using a field rifle in military rifle matches will be counted towards a different set of competition prizes.
Rifle categories are SRA – standard as issued, SRB – modified with Central Sights and/or heavy barrel, SRC- as issued Sniper Rifles (up to Korean War) or issued military rifles (again up to Korean War) fitted with telescopic sights (Maximum 8 power)
