CFCA V2 Shooting System

800 m / 1000 m – Wiechlice

The CFCA V2 system is based on ICFRA F-Class rules, experience gained from international competitions, and the practical requirements of organizing competitions using electronic ShotMarker target systems. Its purpose is to ensure equal conditions for all competitors while making efficient use of the available equipment and shooting range infrastructure.

Two competitors shoot alternately on one electronic target.

Both competitors shoot on the same electronic target and share one ShotMarker display tablet.

One tablet running the ShotMarker system is used for each target and is positioned between the two shooters so that it is easily accessible and visible to both competitors.

Shooter Identification

Each competitor is assigned a unique identification number (ID).

ID numbers are assigned by the organizer before the start of the competition.

In the ShotMarker system and on the display tablets, shooters are identified only by their ID numbers.

Competitors' names are not displayed in the ShotMarker system or on the display tablets during the competition.

Practice Session

At each distance, a separate practice session takes place before the scoring round.

The practice session for each shooter consists of:

2 sighters + 5 practice shots

The time limit for the practice session is 7 minutes.

During the practice session, shooters may use chronographs and other permitted measuring devices, provided that their use does not interfere with the course of fire or range safety.

After completion of the practice session, there will be a 15–20 minute break before the scoring round begins.

Scoring Round

One scoring round is fired at each distance.

The scoring round for each shooter consists of:

2 sighters + 20 shots to count

The time limit for the pair of shooters is 30 minutes.

800 m

The competitor on the right-hand firing point starts.

After their shot, the competitor on the left-hand firing point shoots.

The competitors alternate throughout the entire scoring round, firing one shot at a time.

Shooting sequence:

R – L – R – L – R – L ...

1000 m

The competitor on the left-hand firing point starts.

After their shot, the competitor on the right-hand firing point shoots.

The competitors alternate throughout the entire scoring round, firing one shot at a time.

Shooting sequence:

L – R – L – R – L – R ...

This ensures equal conditions for both competitors during the competition.

Starting the scoring rounds at 800 m and 1000 m from opposite firing points eliminates any potential advantage or disadvantage resulting from the shooting order.

Communication Between Shooters and Recording of Hits

The two competitors sharing a target during the scoring round communicate with each other and record each other's individual hits.

After one competitor fires, both competitors wait for the hit to appear in the ShotMarker system.

Once the hit is displayed, the shooter who has just fired calls out the value of the hit to the other shooter. The other shooter records the value on the score record.

Only after the hit has been recorded may the other shooter fire their shot.

The procedure is therefore:

shot → hit displayed on ShotMarker → hit value called out → hit recorded → other shooter fires

This system also provides the shooter who has just fired with sufficient time to safely open the bolt, check the firearm and prepare for the next shot.

Communication and mutual recording of hits also provide a clear signal for handing over the shooting sequence and reduce the risk of confusion regarding whose turn it is to fire.

A shooter must not fire the next shot until the previous hit has been displayed by the ShotMarker system, called out and recorded.

Time Limit

The time limit for the pair of shooters during the scoring round is 30 minutes.

The time limit begins on the command of the Range Officer (RO).

During the scoring round, the competitors alternate regularly, firing one shot at a time.

The maximum recommended time for firing a single shot is 45 seconds from the moment it becomes the shooter's turn.

If a competitor intentionally or repeatedly causes unreasonable delays to the course of fire and thereby jeopardizes compliance with the overall time limit, the Range Officer may issue a warning, declare the relevant shot lost (0 points), or, in the case of repeated or demonstrably intentional delaying, disqualify the competitor (DQ) and exclude them from the competition.

Compliance with the time limit is monitored by the Range Officer.

In the event of a protest or doubt regarding compliance with the time limit, the ShotMarker system record may be used.

Sighters

Both the practice session and each scoring round begin with two sighters.

The sighters are used to verify the rifle's zero and point of impact before proceeding with the subsequent shooting, both during the practice session and before the scoring round.

Sighters do not count towards the score and cannot be converted into practice shots or shots to count.
