Courses of Fire for BSRC Disciplines
Moving targets such as Running Deer, Running Boar, and Running Target are disciplines commonly shot from the standing position without support in BSRC competitions. Each discipline has specific courses of fire, including the number of runs, direction, shot count, and allowed shooting aids. Additionally, static disciplines like Buck, Fox, and Stalkers Test involve different shooting aids and specific courses of fire at 100m with a center-fire rifle. Each discipline offers unique challenges and skill requirements for competitors.

Summary of the Courses of Fire for BSRC Disciplines
Moving targets These essentially comprise the Running Deer, Running Boar and Running Target disciplines. All moving target disciplines are shot from the standing position without support - no sling or other aid is allowed. The following sections describe the disciplines most commonly shot

Running Boar (Electronically scored) - shot at 50 m in either Slow, Fast or Mixed runs using a .22 rifle. Equal numbers of sighting runs and competition runs are taken in both target directions. The normal Club courses of fire are: Form Competition Runs Sighting Runs 4 slow Slow runs Fast runs Mixed runs Can be shot as 20 or 30 runs, half in each direction, one shot per run. As above As above 5 slow runs and 5 fast runs in each direction in random order, one shot per run 2 slow + 2 fast
Running Target (Electronically scored) shot indoors at 10 m using a .177 Cal. 6ft lb. air rifle. The course of fire for competition comprises 30 slow runs, 15 in each direction, followed by 30 fast runs. Slow and fast sighting runs are allowed prior to the competition runs.
Statics (Electronically scored) shot at 100 m using a center fire rifle; these comprise the Buck, the Fox and the Stalkers Test. The corresponding courses of fire and shooting aids allowed are as follows:
Buck Buck The Roebuck event is a snap shooting competition comprising two series of five shots. A time of 4 seconds is allowed for each shot, with between 6 and 15 seconds allowed between shots. The competition is shot on the command of a RO who will time the shooting. After completion of the first series, the RO will allow sufficient time to reload and then the second series will be shot.
Fox 2 series of 5 shots, 1 minute for each series, all taken from the standing position Open - Sling only B - Sling and single stick
Stalkers Test 10 shots, 2 in each of the prone, sitting, kneeling, standing and high seat positions Sling and/or bipod in any position except high seat , light rucksack in prone position
Time Limit Range. This is a 50m range which has a 2nd Running Boar layout but can also be set up with turning targets or mini-McQueen s These can also be used to replicate the static competitions shot on the main range, but using .22 LR, thus providing good cheap training and practice.
Summary of Main Events in the BSRC Shooting Calendar The Club normally meets twice a month - once for a Club Match Day when the above disciplines are shot, and once for a Range Day which is intended for practice and zeroing and is less formal. In addition to the monthly matches, there are several special matches, the more significant of which are described briefly below (in calendar order):
1.Stalkers Match - usually shot in March, this match is intended to provide a format more representative of field shooting than other BSRC matches. 2.Historic Match - this event usually takes place in March and is usually timed to coincide with the Bisley Classic Arms Fair. The event is open to deerrifles , rookrifles and lever action rifles pistol calibers' which pre-date 1st January 1946. 3.British Running Target Championships this is the main annual event for Running Target shooters. Only one discipline is shot at this event which is the Running Target Normal Runs.
