The statement 'No portion of the targets may be placed below 5 inches or above 3 feet for prone, sitting and kneeling positions' is:

• A. True
• B. Not specified
• C. It depends on division
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Target placement is about keeping targets in a fair and visible range for all shooting positions. The statement frames the rule as a blanket ban on any part of the target being below 5 inches or above 3 feet for prone, sitting, and kneeling. In practice, the rules are written in terms of where a reference point on the target (often the center) must lie within a vertical range, and that range can vary by division or event. Because it isn’t a single fixed limit applying to every part of the target for all three positions, the blanket claim isn’t accurate. So the statement is false.
