Long Range Precision

Long Range Precision Shooting aims to develop and encourage long-range competition shooting; achieve extreme accuracy in firearms, ammunition, equipment and shooting methods; and promote experimentation to achieve these goals.

The rifle events cover rifles chambered in everything from the .22 Long Rifle up to the massive .50 BMG calibre; however, .50BMG ownership is restricted under Queensland weapons licensing rules.

Likewise, the handgun events vary from rimfire to centrefire and can be shot out to 500m.

The core matches for Long Range Precision Shooting require the shooter to be able to deliver five shots from a cold barrel, as they would in a normal in-the-field situation. Also, it must be shot without the use of benches, wind flags, etc.

To be successful, the competitor will need to learn to read the wind and other conditions and understand their firearm and its ballistics completely.
