Rifle events are competitive shooting sports where participants aim to hit targets using rifles. These events can take place in various formats, including individual and team competitions, and are often held at local, national, and international levels. Common types of rifle events include Olympic shooting, NRA competitions, and 3-position matches, where shooters fire from standing, kneeling, and prone positions. In rifle events, accuracy and precision are crucial. Competitors typically use specialized equipment, such as match-grade rifles and optical sights, to enhance their performance. Scoring is based on the number of hits and the proximity of shots to the target's center, with higher scores indicating better performance.
