The International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA) is the international association for the fullbore rifle shooting sports of target rifle ('TR') (called 'Palma' rifle in the US) and F-Class, which are long range competitions shot at distances between 300 and 900 meters or 300 to 1,000 yards depending on the range.

The Wimbledon Cup is awarded for the winner of a 1000-yard shooting match — in which the rules permit use of "any sight", including telescopes. Concurrent with the Wimbledon, service rifle shooters compete for the Farr Trophy, and Palma rifle shooters vie for the "Doc" Aiken Trophy.
Tourist destinations in gun-friendly U.S. states often have rental ranges catering to domestic and international tourists. Target shooting is generally allowed on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management; a great deal of target shooting is done unsupervised, outside purpose-built (or organised) ranges.

It is widely accepted within interdisciplinary circles that for a standard rifle firing full-powered cartridges (e.g. .308 Winchester), "long range" means the target is more than 600 m (660 yd) away, [citation needed], while "extreme long range" is generally accepted as when the target distance is more than 1,000 m (1,100 yd) away from the shooter.
In 2018, Mike Wilson shot a record setting 5-shot group measuring 1.068 in (27.1 mm) at 1,000 yd (910 m), which corresponds to an angular size of 0.102 moa or 0.029 mrad. The record was set shooting the 6mmBR Ackley Improved cartridge in good weather conditions, and the group was even centered in the X-ring.
For example, a rifle capable of firing a ½ or 0.5 MOA (approximately 0.5 inch center to center of the two holes furthest apart) 5-round group (often referred to as "grouping") at 100 yards will theoretically fire a 12.5 inch group at 2,500 yards (0.5 × 2,500/100 = 12.5). Unless the group is centered perfectly on the target at 100 yards, the ...
Fullbore target rifle (TR) is a precision rifle shooting-sport discipline governed by the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA). [1] TR uses single-shot rifles, usually chambered in .308 calibre, with circular "bullseye" targets at distances of 300–1000 yards.
