- The Hunting Muzzleloader Challenge will be conducted with the participants taking shots at NRA life-sized targets with scoring areas directly over the vital areas of the game and varying distance from 20 up to 75 yards. Participants will shoot from three shooting stations.
- Station number one will have a shooting distance between 20 yards and 35 yards. Participants may use any shooting position and utilize any of the available props.
- Station number two will have a shooting distance between 36 and 55 yards. Participants may use any shooting position (excluding prone) with a vertical prop as the only aide.
- Station number three will have a shooting distance between 51 and 75 yards. Participants will only shoot from a standing position with no props permitted at these distances.
- Each participant will shoot a total of six shots, two at each station. Each shot is worth 50 points if touching the vital area, and zero points for body hits outside the vital area. All shots breaking or touching the vital area will be counted as a vital hit. The Hunting Muzzleloader Challenge has a possible 300 points.
- The following equipment will be used:
- 50 caliber muzzleloading cap locks with open sites;
- Black powder ammunition;
- Firearms will be sighted in prior to the event by the range master.
- One coach will be allowed to talk to the participant at each station before and after shooting. The coach must remain in the coach's box, established by the range master, at each shooting station. Each coach may use binoculars or a spotting scope to locate the shot on the target and relay this information to the participant, when advised by the range master.
