Rifle competitions are organized events where participants use rifles to shoot at targets, testing their accuracy and precision. These competitions can take place in various formats, including prone shooting, standing shooting, and three-position shooting, where competitors shoot from different positions. Participants may compete individually or as part of a team, and events can vary in distance and target size. Common types of rifle competitions include Olympic shooting, NRA matches, and military marksmanship events. Safety is a top priority, with strict rules governing firearm handling and range conduct.
