Rules and Equipment<\/strong>
\nThe intent of this event is not to simulate hunting but to provide a controlled and safe bullseye\u00a0competition event that uses hunting type rifles with a minimum amount of equipment. These rules are taken from\u00a0The Shooting Federation of Canada rule book<\/p>\n

Rifle<\/strong>
\nA rimfire .22 caliber, (not magnum), rifle of a hunting type design single shot or repeater. It must not have been originally designed to be a target rifle.<\/p>\n

If the rifle was built with a rail or adjustable butt-plate, it will be deemed to be a target rifle. If the rifle is outfitted with a magazine, all rounds must be loaded through the magazine.<\/p>\n

Stock may have a replacement butt-plate and the length may be changed. Cheek piece may be built up but by means that are not easily adjustable.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong>
\nAll Range Officer commands will be obeyed.
\nThe safe condition of a rifle will be with action open and chamber empty.
\nIf used, magazines must be removed from the firearm.
\nThose firearms requiring it must use a chamber flag.
\nTriggers must operate in a safe manner.
\nHearing protection is Mandatory.
\nEye protection is recommended, shooting glasses with shatterproof lenses are encouraged.<\/p>\n

Equipment<\/strong>
\nNo ISSF type of shooting jacket, pants, gloves or butt-plates.
\nUnduly tight or padded clothing will not be allowed.
\nThis is not intended to prevent the use of a spotting scope, timepiece, shooting mat, kneeling roll,\u00a0shooting sweater, trap vest, elbow pads or a glove for grip. The glove must not be excessively padded.
\nCurrent undergarments as per sporting rifle would also be allowed.
\nCourses of fire, positions, time limits, targets, scoring, range commands as per Sporting Rifle.
\nMatch organizers may modify classifications to reflect the number and type of competitors.<\/p>\n

Now the EDITORIAL:<\/strong>
\nRequired is a discipline that requires the least amount of equipment but that allows the greatest\u00a0diversity. That is why there is no rifle weight limit. There are no depths of fore ends or drop at butt.\u00a0The weight is not considered an issue as there is no support from clothing and most of these rifles are clustered around 7 lbs, or with a decent scope, 8 lbs.<\/p>\n

If someone wants to try and hold a 12 lb rifle for 60 shots, I suspect the scores will suffer.
\nA rifle such as an Anschutz 1416 or Remington 541, the Enfield trainer, Ruger 10\/22, an Anschutz 180 would be allowed. The Anschutz 190 would not. Any rifle with a rail, even if removed, would not be allowed..
\nThere is no trigger weight for the same reasons. If there is an occurrence of an unsafe trigger, I\u00a0expect the RO or Safety Officer to deal appropriately.
\nEquipment. The glove allowed for grip is meant to be along the lines of a golf, weightlifting, bicycling or similar glove.
\nWho cares if someone is using sport specific shooting glasses when anyone can use scopes?<\/p>\n
