Prone Versions

[S4NTO]

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Conventional, Metric and F-Class prone for a small bore competition?

There are other differences in equipment and positions allowed for Prone Only, but the biggest difference is between targets.

Conventional 50 yard NRA is shot at 50 yards on a target with a 10 ring of 1.70 MOA. It is shot prone, with sling support only.

Metric 50 meter Prone is shot on at 54.8 yards on a target with a 10 ring of only 0.715 MOA. It is also shot prone, with sling support only. HUGE difference.

I don't pay a lot of attention to F-Class. I think they shoot the same targets, but off of bipods, bags, one-piece rests constructed within the rules, etc. I suppose it could be good for hammering out a shooter's ability to call wind.
