for FClass, Target and Match Rifle Shooting in Ireland
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!
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.
