Precision Rifle is a dynamic and engaging sport that is born from the hunting environment. With a focus on long range rifle shooting, the practical nature of the sport allows it to be new and challenging in at every match.

A combination of accuracy, precision, time management, problem-solving and a host of other elements, Precision Rifle is sure to provide an exciting challenge and is one of the most unique shooting competitions in the world.

You are more than welcome to come out and watch a match. There is no charge too. We encourage shooters that are seriously considering shooting in the near future to register and bring their rifle instead of watching. You will quickly learn how inviting the community is.

A rifle with a box magazine holding 10 rounds and a scope with adjustable turrets is preferred. The rifle should be capable of shooting 1 MOA or better and should have a scope capable of dialling elevation out to at least 500m. The rifle should be zeroed and the shooter should have the means to obtain accurate ballistics data for the rifle and ammo via a Kestrel or smartphone ballistics app. Bullet velocity is restricted to 3200 fps and may be randomly checked.

Come out to a match to watch at no charge. This is an environment that welcomes new shooters. The shooters are helpful and the environment is friendly. There are enough shooters in a squad to watch what others are doing, ask questions and then give it a try yourself. Other shooters will help you with technique, wind calls and equipment.

At the minimum You will need the following to shoot a match: Rifle & Scope, 100 Rifle Rounds, Bipod, Rear Bag, Backpack to carry gear, Ballistics Computer – Kestrel or phone app such as Shooter Ballistic or Ballistic AE and Wind Measuring Device.

This sport can have a large focus on gear, please do not be distracted by this. Many experienced shooters will be the first to lend you gear to try and help you find what fits you the best.

You will typically need no more than 100 rounds for a one day match. 100 rounds will give you enough to confirm zero, shoot 8 stages in a match and have enough rounds to re-shoot a stage if required.

This is a good estimate for 15-20 shooters at a 1 day match. Depending on the number of shooters, we may run 2 squads or 3 squads. Being ready to go when it is your turn to shoot will make the match flow smoothly.

A grading system provides a fair representation of where shooters stand against their peers. It’s clear a new shooter will not compete well against a seasoned national match competitor. While the experience of shooting against top tier shooters is invaluable, we want shooters to be able to compete against shooters at their own level.
