Competitors points will be added up over the three rounds they compete in and the competitor with the most points after the final will take the overall win in the championship. If you compete in more than two rounds of the series before the final then only your two best results will count towards your final score. Competitors must shoot the final if they intend to have a go at the championship.
All results and series standings will be available here on this website for competitors to view.
At each event there will be two classes for competitors to choose from Hunter and Rifleman.
Hunter Class is intended for hunting style 22lrs or entry level rifles and is a great class for new (to the sport) shooters wanting to try the sport without having to build an expensive setup. We will allow new shooters to compete in this class with rifles that do not meet the class rules but this will be at the Series Directors discretion. See Hunter class rules below.
Rifleman Class is for shooters with more experience and has a significantly harder course of fire than hunter and the target distances are out to approximately 200 meters. See rifleman class rules below.
Hunter class rifle and equipment rules:
H1) The competitor must only use a rifle and equipment that meets the spirit of a hunter class event - i.e. a basic hunting 22LR or entry level rifle setup.
H2) The rifle shall not weigh more than 4.0kg (~9lbs) including, any muzzle device (suppressor or brake), the bipod, and the magazine (unloaded).
H3) No varmint, target, tactical, or "competition" rifles may be used. This includes have target barrels. The series directors make the final decision on what is allowed and can apply their discretion as needed.
H4) Any scope is allowed however no dialling for elevation or windage is allowed. Max magnification of 10x to be used in hunter class, a scope can have more magnification available but 10x is the maximum that can be used when competing in Hunter Class. No adjusting the parallax is allowed.
H5) The only shooting gear allowed is a bipod or a day pack as a replacement to a bipod, a normal 2-point carry-type sling, and a simple small rear bag that dose not attach to the rifle(no larger than 15cm). Any bipod is allowed.
H6) No competition orientated support bags (i.e. gamechangers, puff pillows, bags that attach to the rifle, etc.) or tripods are allowed. No Tactical chest rigs or magazine holsters are allowed.
H7) Match Director has the final say on all interpretations. If you have any questions, then ask the Match Director. Rule H1 and H7 govern.
Targets will be from 10-100 meters and time limits will be a little more forgiving in this class.
