RIFLE INFORMATION

The Stopping Rifle will be 40-caliber or larger, shooting a bullet of 400 grains or more at 2000 fps or greater.

Stalking Rifles will be any caliber from 22 centerfire to .399 (or larger, if it does not meet the power requirements of the Stopping Rifle category).

The Stopping Rifle Championship is shot offhand, with open sights and full use of rifle required. It will consist of a standing elephant at about 40 yds.; a crossing rhino at about 30 yds.; Pop-Up lions and an in-your-face buffalo. There will also be a timed event with 6 shots at as many targets.

NOTA BENE: There will be a chronograph and scale at the range. All rifle and ammunition combos are subject to verification as to their authority. Stopping rifle competitors to have available four extra rounds of ammunition.

The Stalking Rifle will be similar except that the targets will be of rather benign critters and the distances a bit greater. (Fear not, no attacking tommys.)

So as not to dominate, single shot Stalking Rifles will compete for the Alex Henry Cup Shooting to take place over two days.

16 shots/day for a total of 32 shots for the match. There will be enough time to shoot both matches, if you wish. If time permits both may be shot on same day.
