Better
known as Full-Bore Rifle, the name refers to the NRA rules for Target
Rifle competitions, as distinct from Service Rifle or Match Rifle.
Shooting is from the prone position, using 7.62 calibre rifles
conforming to some basic rules and regulations concerning the overall
weight and trigger pressure, etc. The targets are made of paper on a
wooden frame with a round black aiming mark on a white background, and
can be anything from 300 to 1000 yards away from the shooter.
The Bullseye is remarkably small, and requires considerable amount
of skill in the holding the rifle steady. However it doesn't end there
-- the wind plays an important part in your ability to score a
Bullseye. In team competitions, there is almost always a wind
coach on hand to help the shooters along.
