NRANZ Council has adopted two amendments to the ICFRA Rules and Regulations for F-Class Rifle Shooting as follows:

A standard system of scoring, with ring dimensions and score values consistent across the classes of shooting currently within NRANZ. All central bullseyes, regardless of shooting class, to score 5.1.

F Open; V-Bull to score 6.0.
F-TR; V-Bull to score 5.1.

Amendment 1 Rescinded June 2014 - In F Class Rifle Shooting within New Zealand the central bullseye will score as follow:

F Open; V-Bull to score 6.0
F TR; V- Bull to score 6.0
F Open; Super V Bull to score 6.1

Amendment 2 (Adopted July 2011)

12 Months Dispensation - In order to clarify the issue re the introduction of the ICFRA F-TR rifle and bipod maximum weight rule, it was agreed that the introduction and enforcement of these particular rules be delayed until the start of 2012/13 season. This will provide F-TR competitors a dispensation for a period of 12 months, within New Zealand, in order that they adjust rifle and bipods to fit within the max rifle weight rule.
