– You must complete all components of this competition in one shooting session.
– Shooting must be done on a 50m outdoor shooting range, except air rifle which is 10m.
– Each shot must be single loaded.
– Novice Air Rifle will use the cadet target, while all other categories will use model 151CP.
– One target will be used for every shot on the cadet targets and one for every 10 shots on the 151 CP target.
– Please score your targets and write it on the edge beside your name, along with the signature of a witness and the date to confirm that you have followed all the rules of the competition. Please indicate whether each target is prone or standing
– Scores will be reviewed by Biathlon Canada to ensure accuracy in the scoring process. If you require targets please contact Biathlon Canada.
– You will be placed in the competition category that corresponds to the target submissions if there is a discrepancy between targets and category selected
– You can shoot up a category. Thus, if you are of Senior age, but submit 4 targets, you will be placed in the Youth category
– If you do not submit enough targets for your age category, you will be given a score of 0 for missing targets
– If there is a crossfire on a target, please indicate which shot is a cross fire, otherwise there are to be 10 shots per target only.
– Targets received with more than 10 shots will have the highest valued shots discarded, as it is not fair to the person marking them to chose which shots count and which do not.
– In the event that there is a tie, the most number of 10s will be awarded the higher ranking
– You must be registered with Biathlon Canada for the 2015-2016 year
