- The Light Hunting Rifle Challenge will be conducted with the participants walking through a rifle field course designed to simulate shooting situations encountered while hunting. Participants will fire at life-size game targets with scoring areas directly over vital areas. There will be a total of five stations. Participants will fire five shots at each station. Maximum time allowed is 5 minutes per station.
- Station number one will have participants shooting at 8-12 yards. Participants will shoot from the standing position. No supports will be allowed at this station.
- Station number two will have participants shooting at 14-18 yards. Participants may use any shooting position (except prone). No supports will be allowed at this station.
- Station number three will have participants shooting at 24-28 yards. Participants may use any shooting position (except prone) with a vertical prop available for use.
- Station number four will have participants shooting at 28-32 yards. Participants may use any shooting position with a vertical prop available for use.
- Station number five will have participants shooting at 34-38 yards. Participants may use any shooting position (except standing) with a vertical prop available for use.
- Each participant will fire a total of 25 shots for points, 5 at each shooting station worth 12 points each if inside or touching the vital area, or zero points if outside and not touching the vital area. The three shots at the range will not count to allow the participant to adjust to variation in the sights. No optical equipment will be allowed on the range. Coaches and parents may provide direction during the sighting-in shots, but will be excluded from the range for the remainder of the course.
- The following equipment will be used for the Light Hunting Rifle Challenge:
- Standard-type bolt action .22 caliber rifles with open sites;
- .22 rimfire long rifle standard velocity ammunition.
