TR is the cornerstone of British shooting. It is also perhaps the 'purest' form of shooting as few 'aids' are allowed.
ptical sights are not permitted and shooters rely on micro-adjustable aperture-sights. Only two cartridges are allowed - the 308/7.62 or the 223/5.56mm - the current NATO calibres. Most shooters opt for the 308/7.62. The rifle may only be supported off the elbows but a sling is permitted. In addition, a good quality heavy canvas or leather jacket helps with 'hold' and a good shooting-mat and spotting-scope are essential. Targets are the 'Bisley' style and we usually shoot 2 sighters and 20 to count. Competitors shoot in pairs - or even three to a target and shoots take place at all distances from 200 to 1000 yards.
