Small-Bore Rifle shooting is carried out using the .22 Long
Rifle cartridge and single shot rifles specially designed for
target shooting. They are single-shot and use straight-forward
'iron' sights (i.e. telescopic sights are not allowed except
in special competitions).
Small-bore Rifle shooting is a precise sport, and is enjoyed by a
very wide range of people. Men and Women compete together on equal
terms, and many shooters can compete from their early teens into their
eighties.
Short-range small-bore shooting is generally at 25 yards,
although exceptionally it can be shot at 20 yards or even 15
yards. At these distances, ranges are generally of the indoor
variety, although plenty of outdoor 25 yard ranges exist.
Long-range small-bore shooting is always outdoors, although
firing points are normally covered. Here, long-range means 50
metres / yards, and 100 yards.
