Standing position

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Standing position, also known as "Offhand", refers to shooting while standing. It is often regarded as the most difficult position. The rules vary depending on the shooting discipline. Generally, you must stand freely, without the aid of a rest or bench. Highpower rifle, smallbore rifle, and silhouette shooting do not permit the use of a sling. International Precision Air Rifle events are fired only in the Standing position. International Three Position Rifle includes Standing as the second stage of competition, as well as for finals. Running target is also shot in the standing position without the aid of slings.
