The shooting discipline consists of sighting shots and competition shooting. The competition shooting consists of:

• Precision fire: 10 rounds in 10 minutes.

If electronic scoring systems are not used, the time available is 12 minutes. After the announcement of "15 seconds remain" the signals "start" and "stop" are given by short whistle blasts. The precision fire is started at the same time for all shooters participating in the same heat.

• Rapid fire: 10 rounds in one minute. The competitors do not get information on the result of their individual shots during the rapid fire series. Therefore, the monitors are turned away or off.

The rapid fire is started in two rounds (every second shooter, first the uneven numbers followed by the even numbers) in the same heat. Competitors in the non-shooting round must remain absolutely still.

• Distance is 200 m, 300 m or 50 m.
• Weapons & ammunition: 300-m Standard Rifle. All types of ammunition can be used that may be fired without danger to competitors and range personnel.

Tracer, armour-piercing and incendiary ammunition are prohibited. Weapons and ammunition must be provided by the team.

• Target: Electronic targets or paper targets may be used. The 300-metre rifle target will be used. Separate targets will be used for precision and rapid fire.
