Guidelines for competitors
After long and frank discussions with members concerning the rifles and equipment used in the above competitions it has become apparent that the guidelines need to be revised (first devised June 2012). Nearly all members use a Tactical/Sniper type rifle in the competition and therefore the guidelines need to reflect this. The revised guidelines will therefore allow ALL competitors to compete on a “level playing field” and marksmanship rather than equipment should provide the winner. All members taking part in the above competitions must use a rifle that conforms to the following guidelines:
1. Ammunition can be fed singly via an internal or external magazine, no single shot rifles.
2. Calibre .30 or less ( 308 WIN is .30 CAL )
3. MAXIMUM BARREL LENGTH = 28” EXCLUDING MODERATORS AND MUZZLE BREAKS
4. Front Bipods (a bipod by definition has two legs that can be folded into and transported attached to the rifle) may be used. A PLATE OR BOARD CAN BE USED TO REST THE BI-POD ON BUT IT MUST NOT BE ATTACHED IN ANYWAY TO THE BI-POD
5. Telescopic sights, muzzle brakes & moderators may be used (subject to NRA instructions in force at that time)
6. No rear rest or sling may be used there must be visible daylight between rifle butt and ground.
7. No untested ammunition to be used in the competition or practice
8. Shooters who retire early WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to re-enter the competition unless their rifle develops a technical fault that can be later rectified.
9. Projectiles must not exceed 190 grains.
10. Anemometers and Spotting scopes may be used up to and including sighting shots.
11. A draw for shooting positions will be drawn out on Friday night and used for shooting all day Saturday, it will be reversed for Sunday shooting.
12. A greater adherence to times will be observed, Shooters not on the firing point at their allocated slot in the shooting queue will be allowed to shoot later HOWEVER THEIR RESULTS WILL NOT COUNT IN THE COMPETITION.
Any member using any rifle may take part, however only competitors using a rifle that falls within the guidelines can actually score in the competition:
