25 yard .22 Standing Rifle
target
(used in NSRA
competitions)
This target has five shots fired at each aiming mark from the standing position. Standing shooting is perhaps the hardest discipline to master as it is the most unstable. Many newcomers are put off by the apparently large degree of wobble that they see when they first try it. A good indication of just how unstable is given by this target, 5 shots are fired per aiming mark when standing, 2 when kneeling and only 1 when prone. The fact that 5 shots are taken at each aiming mark is a good pointer that unlike prone shooting they normally do not all go into the same hole and thus make scoring difficult. This target is supplied by the NSRA and is used for shooting competitions within the UK to International rules
