Precision Rifle is fast, fun, and exhilarating which is why it’s one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the world. Precision Rifle is where the competitors are trying to unite the three principles of precision, positions and speed to score as many points as possible during the given amount of time.

The courses are called stages and are shot individually by the competitors who must move and shoot from several challenging positions, fire under or over obstacles and in other situations. These stages are designed so that the competitor must be inventive, and therefore the solutions to challenges frequently vary between competitors.

There are no standard exercises or set arrangement of the steel targets which can have both known and unknown distances from 10 to over 1000 metres. However, the primary focus is on long range, therefore participants need to have a good knowledge of firearm ballistics.

Events operate under the SSAA Precision Rifle Rule Book 1, with various modifications to suit local Ranges. There is a calibre limit of .30 and a maximum muzzle velocity of 3200fps on the steel targets. These limits are intended to prolong target life.
