PPRA sanctions competition across three disciplines — from entry-level club matches to the national series. Every sanctioned match runs under internationally aligned rules and the association’s written safety procedures.
Centerfire
Long-range precision with centerfire rifles — positional shooting, barricades and demanding field courses of fire at extended distances. Centerfire is the premier national-series discipline and the pathway to IPRF international competition.
Rimfire
The most accessible entry into precision rifle — lower cost, shorter distances, identical skills and match discipline. Rimfire is both an ideal proving ground before moving to centerfire and a competitive discipline in its own right, with its own series and rankings.
Air Rifle
Precision rifle skills in the most range-flexible format — ideal for juniors, urban training and new shooters. Air rifle events can run at indoor and short outdoor ranges, bringing the sport to places a firearm range cannot reach.
The national series
Each discipline runs a season of regional series legs leading to the National Series Finals. Standings are computed on PPRA Nexus from verified match results after Match Director sign-off.
