shooting positions

For the 5.6 mm (.22-caliber rifle) weapons and the 4.5 mm air rifle, the disciplines vary according to distance, number of shots and the position.

prone position

Lying on the stomach, the shooter holds the weapon with two hands and one shoulder; the cheek can be held against the stock but the forearm cannot touch the ground.

kneeling position

Three points of contact with the ground are allowed: left foot, right knee and toe of the right foot (for a right-handed person); the rifle must be held in two hands, against the aiming shoulder.

standing position

The shooter stands with two feet on the ground and no other support; the rifle is held in both hands, against the shoulder and along the aiming cheek.
