Positional Shooting is an Olympic and Commonwealth Games Sport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the name suggests competitors shoot in three different positions. \nThe first position of a match is the standard prone position (laying \ndown), then competitors will make adjustments to their rifle and \nequipment, then shoot in the standing position.
<\/p>

After completing the \nstanding section of a match, the competitor will again make adjustments \nto their rifle and equipment and then shoot the final section in the \nkneeling position.
<\/p>

Match sizes are either 60shots long, consisting of 20\n competition shots in each position, or 120shots long, consisting of 40 \nshots in each position.
<\/p>

The 60 shot match is referred to as a 3\u00d720 \nmatch, while the 120 shot match is referred to as a 3\u00d740 match.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEach competition shot fired can score a maximum of 10 points. Each \ntarget has a inner ten (or in old terminology a \u201cBulls Eye\u201d, to score a \n10 the bullet has to touch or clip this inner ten. But if a shooter has a\n perfect shot and eliminates the inner ten then they score extra, the \ntotal number of points and inner tens will decide the final score for \nthe shooter.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In Positional shooting only the 50m card is used. A competitor will fire\n only 20 competition shots onto this card, using the middle target for \nsighting in the rifle. If shooting a 3\u00d740 match then two cards are shot \nin each position.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
