Equipment normally found in other types of High Power Rifle Competition such as Match Rifle, Palma Rifle, and F-Class Rifle, will not be permitted. To understand the spirit of this new shooting program, think of this as "prone Service Rifle with a bipod and a scope."
Since we will be single feeding each round as we shoot alongside F-Class, we will allow a sled such as the "Bob's Sled" to accommodate single round feeding.See Section 23 in the NRA 2020 High Power Rifle Rule Book for details regarding Tactical Rifle competitions.
