2012-13 NAVY RIFLE Glossary of Rifle Terms • Air rifle: A weapon that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by compressed air or gas instead of a gunpowder charge. The rifles can weigh up to 12.12 pounds. • Bull: Short for bull’s-eye. There are 12 bulls per target, 10 for competition and two for sighting shots. The 10-ring is actually a dot in the center of the bull’s-eye. In smallbore, the 10-dot is slightly smaller than in the air rifle. • Center 10: When the shot hole is tangent to or completely takes out the 10-dot in the target. • Cleaned: A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 targets on the sheet for a perfect score of 100. Can also be used to refer to a perfect match. • Front sight: The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture. • Full course: In smallbore, a full course consists of 120-record shots, 40 in each position, fired in the following order: prone, standing, kneeling. In air rifle, a full course is 40 shots. • Half course: In smallbore, a half course consists of 60 shots, 20 in each position (offhand, kneeling and prone). There is no half course in air rifle. • Electronic Targets: A target system that uses microphones and sound waves from the bullet or pellet going through the paper to send to a monitor on each point.
• Iron sights: Sights that employ no magnification. • Kneeling: Shooting from a kneeling position with the offhand (non-trigger side) supported by the off knee. • Off hand: The unsupported standing position (shooting ‘off the hand’ rather than with the nontrigger arm supported on a knee or the floor). • Perfect match score: In air rifle and smallbore, 600 is perfect. • Plug: A metal device the same size as the shot hole, used to score targets. Variations include the ‘inner plug’ and ‘outer plug.’ With the inner plug, the scored is determined by the contact point of the outside edge of the plug with the inside of the next lowest scoring ring. With an outer plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outer edge of the plug with the inside of the scoring ring. • Prone: Shooting from a lying position. • Range officer: The person in charge of timing the match and ‘running the line,’ which includes assisting shooters who are having difficulties and enforcing rules governing the match. • Record shots: Also known as ‘for record shots,’ those shots that are counted toward the match score, with ‘sighters’ not included. • Relay: Shooters firing the match at once at a designated time.
• Shooting glove: A padded glove or mitt, with or without fingers, used to ensure the comfort of the non-dominant hand (i.e., a right-handed shooter wears a glove on the left hand) as the shooter supports the rifle. • Shooting jacket: The jacket is made of leather or canvas and provides support and pads the shooter to minimize the effect of pulse and recoil. There are strict guidelines regarding the thickness. • Shooting boots: Boots designed for rifle shooting. They have the toe end of the sole and heel cut flat for stability. • Shooting trousers: Snug canvas and/or leather pants usually worn over another pair of comfortable pants. They often have padded reinforcements sewn on both knees and the seat to prevent the slipping of elbows and knees when firing from the kneeling position. • Sighting shots: Practice shots taken before going ‘for record shots.’ Sighting shots are unlimited and may be fired before the beginning of each position. Once the first record shot in a position has been fired, no further sighting shots are permitted. • Sling: Adjustable straps with buckle adjustments and arm cuffs that provide stability. A sling is attached to the rifle and helps to support it.
• Smallbore: A .22 caliber weapon with a metallic sight used in competition. It can be customized with special accessories and/or alterations (barrel length and style, stock, design, etc.) to fit the shooter’s needs and comforts. • Spotting scope: A type of telescope used to locate shot holes. } Tie breaking: In NCAA competition, ties are broken as follows: 1) by the highest score in the last 10 shots; 2) by the higest number of 10s, 9s, and 8s; or 3) by the highest number of inner 10s. When shooting other smallbore and air rifle competitions, ties are addressed by the rulebook of either the National Rifle Association or USA Shooting.
Guide to Rifle Scoring Air Rifle
• Overview: Competitors stand and shoot lead pellets from .177 caliber guns at targets 10 meters away. The bull’s-eye, or 10-dot, is one-half millimeter wide (about the size of the period at the end of this sentence). • The rifles: Air rifles can be either air or gas-powered and weigh up to 12 pounds by NCAA regulations. The rifles have metallic sights. • Course of fire: Depending on the type of target changing system used, competitors have 65 or 80 minutes for 60 shots from the standing position. • Perfect match score: A perfect score of 600 is the maximum for air rifle.

Smallbore
• Overview: In smallbore or three-position rifle, athletes fire .22-caliber smallbore rifles from the prone, standing and kneeling positions at targets 50 feet downrange. The bull’s-eye is one-third of a millimete (slightly larger than the period at the end of this sentence). • The rifles: Athletes shoot free rifles (weight limit 17.6 pounds) that can be customized with special accessories and/or alterations that fit the shooter’s size and preferences. The rifles have metallic sights. • Course of fire: Athletes fire 20 rounds per position for a total of 60 shots. The total time limit is 135 minutes. • Perfect match score: A perfect score of 600 is the maximum for smallbore.
