For all matches, the rifle used must be in the configuration of an unmodified service rifle.
The CMP course of fire is designed to test the shooter's skill and concentration when shooting at a series of targets set up 100 yards away.
STRING #1 - 10 rounds in 10 minutes
The first string has each shooter starting off with ten rounds, loading each round singly.
This is shot "off hand"; that is, standing up to shoot at the target.
No slings may be used.
STRING #2 - 10 rounds in 60 seconds
Next, the shooter fires from either a kneeling or sitting position, using two magazines: one loaded with two rounds, the other with eight.
Rifles with a magazine round limit of five may use two 5-round magazines.
STRING #3 - 10 rounds in 70 seconds
The third target is shot from a prone position.
Again, there must be a magazine reload.
STRING #4 - 20 rounds in 20 minutes
The last string is also fired from the prone position, loading a single round each time.
For bolt-action matches, the course of fire is the same, except that the sitting/kneeling rapid fire string has a time limit of 70 seconds and the prone rapid fire string is 80 seconds.
