PRONE

Prone shooters lie on the ground, usually on a shooting mat and wear a tigjltly fitting shooting jacket. This means that shooting is  highly accurate. However the rifles used do not use telescopic sights and the targets are smaller than sports or pistol targets.The NSRA generally refers to shooting .22 LR calibre rifles over a distance of between 15 yards and 25 metres 'indoors' as being short range shooting. The targets we shoot are 'outward gauging' touching a ring on the target receives the lower or outermost score.

Bench-Rest

Bench-Rest shooting is becoming increasingly popular in the UK usually from 25 yards to 100 yards. Shooting is carried out whilst seated from a bench with a rest using telescopic sights.

The targets we shoot are 'outward gauging' touching a ring on the target receives the lower or outermost score. Almost any rifle can be used in this discipline, although many shooters use converted or adapted prone target rifles or air-rifles
