CMP Rimfire Sporter target
This is the CMP Rimfire Sporter target, for a 60-shot match with the plinking and small-game .22 rifles most gun enthusiasts own: prone, sitting or kneeling, then standing, half slow fire and half rapid. Its 10 and X are white for scope aiming, and the CMP says only one person has fired a perfect 600×600.
