SUPPORTED REST

Supported rest shooting is a category designed specifically for senior age group competitors.

Supported rest shooting provides the opportunity for senior age group individuals to take part in the
sport of shooting when the conventional, unsupported disciplines become less attractive than having a
means of supporting the weight of the rifle during a shoot.

Rifle competitions are organised on 10m indoor ranges using air rifles, or on 50m outdoor ranges using
small-bore rifles and the same targets as in the unsupported competitions.

Existing equipment and ranges can be used for this event with a supporting rest the only additional
equipment required.

PRONE SILHOUETTE

Many country-based clubs in Australia participate in metallic silhouette shooting. This is a 40 or 80 shot
competition shot in the prone position over distances up to 90m. The goal is to hit and knock down metal
targets in the shape of animals over varying distances.

This fun competition is conducted with small-bore sporting type rifles with telescopic sights. This
competition is very popular with shooters of all ages and a satisfying “clunk’ is heard when a shot is
accurate!

Competitions are held regularly and often result in a tense “shoot off” to decide the overall winner!
