Long Range Rifle Targets and Scoring

The MLAGB holds a series National Rifle Championship matches fired at mid-range (200 - 600 yards) and long range (900 - 1000 yards). In addition the Long Range Rifles Branch holds other rifle matches and practice days throughout the year.

The standard NRA (1998) targets are used. Target dimensions and scoring are as follows:

A Note on Scoring

The NRA targets used for mid (200 - 600 yards) and long (over 600 yards) range shooting have a bulls-eye scoring 5 and other scoring rings down to 1 for a hit on target. An additional 'scoring' ring within the bulls-eye, the V-bull, is used for tie-breaking. In the event of a tie, and if the winner cannot be decided on V-bull count, then count back from the last shot fired is used.
