Rifle and pistol shooting competitions are divided into nine types for men and six types for women depending on the types of gun, shooting position standing, kneeling and prone position and firing distance.
Shooters in this sport compete to get high scores using a rifle and shoot 40 shots from each of 3 positions; standing, kneeling and prone positions respectively for a total of shots at a target 50 meters distant.
