Open toolWhat is Civilian Service Rifle?
Civilian Service Rifle, almost always shortened to CSR, is target shooting with a service-pattern centrefire rifle, run under NRA rules. The courses of fire borrow from military service-rifle matches: you shoot from a mix of positions, prone, sitting, kneeling and standing, usually against the clock, moving and reloading as you go. It rewards the shooter who can build a good position quickly, work the rifle smoothly, and keep a clear head when the exposure is only a few seconds long.
In Great Britain, self-loading centrefire rifles are off the table, so CSR is shot with a manually operated rifle that holds at least ten rounds. Straight-pull AR-pattern rifles are the common choice. The targets are the classic service figures: the Figure 11, the charging figure the discipline takes its name from, and the Figure 12 head and shoulders. Distances typically run from 100 out to 500 or 600 yards.
Practise smarter between matches
You do not need a full-distance range to work on CSR. Because the sight picture is all about the angle the target takes up, you can shrink a service figure down and drill the same hold in a garden or a garage. The scaled target generator prints a Figure 12 at the exact size to match the range you want to simulate, and the zeroing target generator gets your rifle on the money before you spend money on ammunition.
