HUNTING RIFLE SHOOTING
This is a sport for hunters. It is the closest thing that one can compare to real hunting. The true purpose of this shooting discipline is to test and support the following elements and abilities on the part of the hunter: the ability to estimate distance, knowledge of bullet ballistics, and the ability to shoot from various positions and “under pressure” within a time limit, in order to achieve a good grouping at an appropriate (hunting) distance with his/her firearm.
Competitions must be structured in such a way so that all of the points mentioned below are fulfilled in the course of the competition. This means a varying, non-standard form of competitions, which tests practical shooting skills applied during actual hunting.
Competitions must be prepared and laid out in such a way so that special one-shot benchrest rifles or game silhouette rifles are not at an advantage in comparison to a standard hunting rifle. This sport is intended exclusively as a test for hunters with hunting rifles. The competition is a simulation of field and forest hunting conditions in such a way so that the hunter’s capabilities are tested, rather than just the capabilities of the firearm.
The promoters of this shooting discipline in the Czech Republic are: Jan Velík, Antonín Čech and Martin Šlechta.
