What are the rules of competitive shooting?

The National Rifle Association’s Rule Book for Rifle and Pistol Shooting Competitions is the official set of rules used in all NRA-sanctioned competitive shooting events. The Rule Book contains rules governing eligibility, firearms, ammunition, targets, range procedures, safety, shooting positions, match conduct and more.

NRA competitive shooting events are divided into the following categories:

Rifle – events are held at both the compounds (indoor ranges) and outdoor ranges with distances from 50 to 600 yards;

Pistol – events are held at both the compounds (indoor ranges) and outdoor ranges with distances from 50 to 200 yards;

Shotgun – events are held at both the compounds (indoor ranges) and outdoor ranges with distances from 50 to 200 yards.

What equipment do I need to compete in shooting sports?

There is a wide variety of equipment used in shooting sports, depending on the discipline. For example, Olympic disciplines such as rifle and pistol require very different types of equipment than trap or skeet.

Here is a general overview of the different types of equipment you may need to compete in shooting sports:

Rifles
Rifles are long-barreled guns that are fired from the shoulder. In Olympic disciplines, they are used to engage targets at long range. In other disciplines, such as hunting, they may be used for shorter-range shots.

Pistols
Pistols are handguns that are held in one hand and fired from the hip. They are used in Olympic disciplines such as 25m rapid fire pistol and 50m pistol. In other disciplines, such as cowboy action shooting, multiple pistols may be used.

Shotguns
Shotguns are long-barreled guns that are fired from the shoulder. They shoot a spread of pellets instead of a single bullet, making them effective for hitting moving targets such as clay pigeons. Shotguns are used in Olympic disciplines such as trap and skeet, as well as in hunting applications.

Airguns
Airguns use compressed air or CO2 to propel pellets or BBs down their barrels. Air rifles are often used in Olympics disciplines such as 10m air rifle and 25m rapid fire pistol. Air pistols may also be used in some disciplines. Airsoft guns are similar to airguns, but they shoot plastic BBs instead of metal pellets or BBs.

What are the different types of competitive shooting events?

Competitive shooting events can broadly be divided into two categories: bullseye and action shooting. Bullseye shooting is further divided into precision and combat.

Precision bullseye shooting is sometimes called “slow fire” because the targets are large and the time limit for each shot is slow (usually 10 seconds). The targets are round and have 10 scoring rings, with the center being worth 10 points and the outer rings worth progressively less. The slowest time limit is generally used in national level matches, while faster time limits are used in local level matches.

Combat or action bullseye shooting is generally referred to as “timed fire” because the targets are small and the time limit for each shot is fast (usually 5 seconds). The targets are square with 5 scoring zones, with the center being worth 5 points and the outer zones worth progressively less. This type of shooting is often used in police and military training because it more closely resembles real-world situations.

Action shooting is a more general category that includes any type of shooting where the targets are moving or there is a need to move while shooting. This can include sports such as clay pigeon shooting, as well as practical disciplines such as self-defense training.
