• Senior- 14 and under 18 (Shooting from the standing position)
• Adults- 18 and over (Shooting from the standing position)

Clothing

• Only normal clothing is required i.e. Scout uniform or typical Scout camp gear. No clothing that can give a shooter additional support can be worn.

There will be three Classes: A, B and X, and two age Groups: Junior (under 14) & Senior (Age 14 and over).

Juniors may elect to shoot prone without a sling or may stand unsupported but must use the same shooting position throughout. Seniors will shoot standing unsupported.

Class A and B use provided rifles to ensure fairness and equity. Class X will use own rifles compliant to ISSF/Sporter rules.
