Long range shooting is a demanding discipline where precision, rigor, and mastery of equipment are essential. In France, several long range shooting competitions are distinguished by their formats, distances, and authorized calibers.
Below are the main long range shooting competitions in France and their specific characteristics.
The King of 1 Mile France is one of the most prestigious and well-known long range shooting competitions in the world.
During the qualifying rounds, teams have 5 minutes to get into position and 9 minutes to shoot. Limited to 13 shots, shooters must engage targets in ascending order of distance and achieve a hit before moving on to the next target.
During the final, teams have 5 minutes to set up, 10 minutes to shoot, and are limited to 15 shots. Teams must engage targets in ascending order of distance, with each shooter firing a minimum of 5 rounds per target and achieving at least one hit before moving on to the next target. Any hits made after the first 5 shots on a target do not count toward the score and only allow the team to move on to the next target.
Qualifications: 600–1,200 meters
Finals: 1,400–1,800 meters.
Calibers smaller than or equal to .338 LM.
