RULES: (20 CAL) 223 / 5,56 CALIBRE SEMI-AUTO RIFLE EXERCISE
It is compulsory that a video of the exercise being shot shall be made for ratification if need arises. The video must be taken from behind the shooter in such a manner that the shooting position of the shooter is visible in relationship to target A and target B. The video must also capture the shooting time used for both targets of this exercise.
FIREARMS ALLOWED: Only Centre-fire Semi-auto Rifle/Carbines below so-called .30 calibres – (i.e. 5.45 x 39mm, .223 Rem. = 5.56, .243 Win., .270 Win., .270 WSM, 6.8mm Rem. SPC, 7mm WSM) (7mm = 0.275591 inch)
Exercise shot on two Targets against time
A-Target - Rapid fire: 10 shots at 25 metres - timed string (no time limits)
B-Target - Rapid fire: 10 shots at 50 metres - timed string (no time limits)
SCORING:
Participants must shoot 10 shots at each target
Shots count according to the number of the scoring ring they are fired into. Cut shots counts the higher number - a cut shot is a shot of which the hole of the shot (not its leaded edge) cuts the outside line of any scoring ring.
TIME PENALTIES: All shots outside of scoring rings but still on the edge of the paper the target is printed upon, or which are totally off the target (A or B), represents a time penalty of + 3,00 seconds / per shot for that specific target.
Scoring the A-Target: Score is calculated as the number of points scored with the 10 shot string - that total is then divided by the number of seconds (two decimals) it took to shoot the 10 shots (Original time plus time penalties) = the Mark for the A-Target (i.e. 70 points divided by 30,00 seconds = a Mark of 2,33)
Scoring the B-Target: Score is calculated as the number of points scored with the 10 shot string - that total is then divided by the number of seconds (two decimals) it took to shoot the 10 shots (Original time plus time penalties) = the Mark for the B-Target (i.e. 70 points divided by 22,00 seconds = a Mark of 3,18)
Example of scoring: Mark for A-Target is 2,33 + Mark for B-Target is 3,18 - add Mark for A-Target and Mark for B-Target = Exercise Mark of 5,52
The score achieved for each Target is entered onto the Score Sheet, which must accompany the Targets at submission of scores on the participant`s Personal Natshoot Profile Page.
