It consists of several divisions, with the most important being OPEN, PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION OPTICS and STANDARD. During the course of the competition, shooters must complete challenging stages, where he or she shoots at both static and moving targets from different positions or when on the move. The best way to approach each stage is not predefined. It is up to each shooter how they go through them. Only the score for each stage is important, which takes into account the speed and accuracy of the competitor‘s shooting.
