Championships

At the World Championship, Light Rifle and Heavy Rifle air rifle are mandatory events, three cards each, shot before any rimfire class; the day-by-day order, which depends on entries, is only a suggestion.WRABF rule D.2

Course

A card is one match: 25 record bulls, one shot each, in 20 minutes, with any number of sighting shots into the sighter bulls; a class is three cards shot the same day, with bench rotation.WRABF rules B.4, B.5, D.3 and Appendix E

Sighters

If the first shot on the paper hits a record box by mistake, the shooter must tell the Range Officer before firing again; the shot is then not counted and costs no penalty. This is allowed once per match.WRABF rule C.8f and Appendix E

Gauging

Shots too close to call by eye are plugged with a certified .224 in plug, for air rifle as for rimfire. A plug touching the 10 dot scores 10; a 10X needs the whole dot obliterated. Championship cards are scored electronically.WRABF rule C.8 (8a and 8c)

Misses and extras

A shot in a bull’s box that misses its largest ring scores 4. If a box holds more than one shot, only the lowest score counts, less 1 point. A perfect card is 250 with 25 X.WRABF rules C.8a and C.8d

Ties

Tied cards are broken by the X count, then by the first miss: counting from bull 1, the first bull that is not a 10; if all are 10s, the first that is not an X.WRABF rules C.8g and C.9a

Card 420 × 297 mm · 5.69 mm scoring gauge

Under the WRABF rules, a shot counts as an inner ten only when the hole covers the whole 10 ring.
