| What Is Match Rifle? |
|
Match Rifle Shooting is target shooting conducted over the distances of
1000, 1100 and 1200 yards or 900, 1000 and 1100 metres
- i.e. where normal full bore target shooting stops, Match Rifle
shooting starts!
Great Britain and Australia are the leading exponents of Match Rifle
shooting. It was established in United Kingdom ~ 150 years ago. By
comparison Match Rifle shooting in Australia is in its infancy only
commencing in the mid 1990s.
Match Rifle shooting uses centre-fire .308W
rifle with telescopic sights (if desired). It can be shot either
prone or supine (back gunning). In the prone position a rest for the
front hand or forearm is allowed.
Match Rifle events and Associations in Australia also cater for Long
Range F Class Shooters
