NRA MR-65 500yd Rifle target

Course

Matches on it are 10 or 20 shots prone in slow fire, and the Mid-Range course fires 20 shots each at 300 yd (MR-63), 500 (MR-65) and 600 (MR-1).NRA rules 7.11 and 7.20

600 yd stage

The National Match Course’s 20-shot prone slow-fire stage may be fired at 500 yd on the MR-65 instead of at 600 yd on the MR-1.NRA rule 7.14

Championships

In the Mid-Range National Championship, days 1 and 3 each include a 20-shot prone slow-fire match on the MR-65, alongside matches at 300 and 600 yd.NRA rule 7.25

AR-Tactical

Mid-Range prone also has AR-Tactical classes for semi-automatic AR-style rifles, fired prone on the standard targets with iron sights or scopes of at most 16×, a Harris-style folding bipod being the only front rest allowed.NRA rule 3.3.2

Time

Slow fire allows one minute per shot, sighters included when specified; in the national-record courses on this card two sighters are fired and recorded in each stage, so a 20-shot stage runs 22 minutes.NRA rules 8.1, 8.2(a) and 17.5

Marking

In slow fire a value marker on the target frame signals each shot: X centre right, 10 bottom right, 9 bottom centre, 8 bottom left, 7 centre left; 6 and 5 repeat the X and 10 positions, and a miss shows in both bottom corners.NRA rule 14.18(a)

Card

The MR-65 is the “Target, Rifle, Competition, Mid-Range”; NRA uses it in 500 yd matches only, and it is the only target for 500 yd classification scores.NRA rules 4.5(a) and 19.5

F-Class centre

For all F-Class shooting the MR-65FC centre is pasted over this card: its new X ring counts 10 and an X, the old X ring becomes the 10, the old 10 the 9, and so on.NRA F-Class Rules, Sec. 4 note and rule 4.5
