Range:                       200m (or other selected distance - but a minimum of 200m for safety reasons).

Ammunition:          10 rounds per competitor.

Targets:                     10 metal plates each 30cm square,

or 10 light coloured balloons inflated to approximately 30cm diameter.

Procedure:                Under the Competition Officer’s (RO) direction, competitors take rifles to the ‘Loaded’ state, lay them on the ground, then stand up behind the rifles.

On command, competitors adopt the prone unsupported position, take rifles to action, then instant and engage the targets.

Note:  If a competitor actions their rifle before they are in the prone position, the team will be automatically disqualified.

The first team to knock down all the plates or burst all the balloons wins. In the event of a dead heat, the team with the most unfired rounds remaining shall be the winner.

Notes:           1.       Teams can be from 2 to 5 firers, but ammunition per shooter remains at 10 rounds.
