Combined Services Competition

| Combined Services rulebook |
The Combined Services discipline initially commenced
in the 1980s in Victoria and Queensland, but is now proudly shot in all
Australian states and territories. Although formerly called Military
Rifle, the discipline has in recent years adopted Pistol competition.
Pistols must be of ‘service origin’ conforming to the specifications
and class as contained in the rule book.
The aim of the Combined Services discipline is to encourage
organised competitive shooting with a view towards a better knowledge
of the safe handling and the proper care of service firearms. The objective
is to allow anyone to get into the sport quite cheaply and have everyone
on an equal footing.
