Shooting Trophies and Criteria

Shooting Trophies and Criteria

Many of the criteria for these trophies were set by the original donors. We try to honour their intent.

As well as National rules and our Branch variations of them, we also use the rules of some international organisations.

The National Shooting Rules and Instruction Manual (NSR&IM) pdf file is located here https://www.deerstalkers.org.nz/about-us/structure/rules-and-information/

The Lever Action Silhouette rules are located here  https://competitions.nra.org/competition-resources/rule-books/  NRA Silhouette Rifle Rule Book. The match/es will NOT be shot until the Taupo Pistol Club Range 6 reinstatement is completed.

The nuances of Running Target Shooting can be found here  https://www.issf-sports.org/theissf/rules_and_regulations/running_target_rules.ashx
