A center fire rifle in either bolt action or semi-automatic. Calibers are limited from a minimum of .223 and up to maximum size of .30 calibers. Nothing larger than .30 calibers will be allowed. Common cartridges are .308 Wi******er, 6mm Creedmoor, etc.
It is recommended that your rifle be equipped with a bi-pod and a sling. However, you can use a pack or tripod if need be. All forms of rests are allowed. Benches and mechanical rests would not be recommended due to time constraints per stage and the requirement that you must be able to carry everything on your person just prior to engaging your targets.
A riflescope capable of adjusting for bullet drop at ranges well past 100 yards.
80 rounds of ammunition, although likely you will only need 50 rounds. Extra is always better.
Food and water to nourish yourself throughout the entire day, but emphasis on water given the warm temperatures and lack of shade at the range.
Accurate DOPE (Data Of Previous Engagement) for your rifle. You will need a PDA, cell phone or Kestrel with a computer generated ballistic solver to accurately engage the targets. First round hits are your goal towards success. Spotters will assist with bullet impacts if requested.
