Target shooting: technique, competition and equipment for rifle shooters

Target shooting rewards precision above everything else – and whether you’re chasing tighter groups at your local range, competing in practical rifle competitions or pursuing a national classification, the margin between good and exceptional comes down to knowledge, technique and equipment.

Rifle Shooter’s target shooting section covers every discipline on the UK competitive rifle scene – from bench rest and F-Class to practical rifle, PRS, NRL and .22 rimfire competition. Our contributors include experienced competitors and coaches who understand what it takes to perform under pressure and improve consistently over time.

We cover technique, mental approach, trigger control, positional shooting and the equipment choices that give competitive shooters an edge – alongside results, event coverage and profiles of the shooters making their mark on the UK and international circuit.

Brands covered include Anschütz, Tikka, Accuracy International, Manners and Triggertech.
