Lets just rule this sport to death.

Precision Shooting
In precision shooting, the sampler’s ability to shoot two tight match pictures of four shots
each is examined. The first shooting series the sampler will shoot from a shooting bench
with good support and the other series is shot knee standing or sitting down. Shooting
distance should be 80 meters.
To pass requires the bullet holes in each series are fully covered by a circular result image
templates.
Series shot from shooting bench may have up to 12 cm spread.
Series shot knee standing or sitting down may have at most 17 cm spread.
If only one series is approved, the test is failed.
Practical big game rifle test
The practical big game rifle includes -
1. Shooting at a stationary moosefigure/target
2.Shooting at running moosefigure/target
Shooting distance is 80 meters.
At the time of the test the sampler may shoot a maximum of 9 series. One series consist of
4 shots, 2 shots at stationary and 2 shots at running target. For series to be approved, all 4
shots should be placed in the result field on the moosefigure/target.
Of these 9 series, at least 3 series must be approved for the test to be approved.
