Long-Range High Power Rifle Matches are entirely slow fire from the prone position. Courses of fire are usually 20 rounds for record with sighting shots. Each string of fire allows the use of sighters before shots are recorded for score. Sighters are shot one at a time (shoot, wait for the target to be scored, shoot again) but are not included in the score.
From the prone position, 15 or 20 shots with sighters. Shooters are allowed 1 minute per shot and must complete all record shots and sighters within the allotted time for each stage of fire. Stages of fire may be at 300, 500, or 600 yards.
