The Rifle Event

The Objective:

Knock down as many plates in the given time limit as possible.

Times vary from 1 minute 30 seconds for Open teams to 2 minutes for Sportsman's teams.

The Equipment:

Eye and ear protection is mandatory.

One 22 rimfire rifle and 3 ten round magazines per team member or 5 ten round magazines for two man teams.

The targets are aperture plates meaning the team members must shoot through the geometric design to knock down the plate behind.

The Procedure:

Each team member may load the 3 or 5 magazines with only ten rounds.

Spare rounds may be loaded only after all 30 or 50 rounds have been fired.

The rifles will be placed on the table in front of each team member and may not be handled until the range officer gives the command to "fire".

All shooting must be done in the standing offhand position.

At the range officers command of "fire" each team member may pick up their rifles, load them and start knocking down plates.

A score of 100 points is possible if all plates are downed.
