Sporting Rifle shooters use ordinary .22 calibre rifles with little additional equipment. Most North Americans easily qualify, as do several European ones. Bulls-eye targets are shot at 20 yards indoors and 50 metres outdoors. There are prone (lying down) and 3-position (prone, standing, kneeling) matches.
Sporting Rifles are the most popular form of smallbore rifle shooting in Canada. Activities range from recreational shooting at local clubs to inter-club leagues, regional matches, and Provincial and Canadian Championships.
