Which statement about targets used in registered and approved matches is true?

• A. Only targets bearing the words Official National Rifle Association and the eagle and shield insignia will be used.
• B. Targets bearing other insignias are allowed as long as NRA is included.
• C. Targets without any insignia are allowed in some matches.
• D. The insignia requirement applies only to regional matches.

Answer: (A)

In registered and approved matches, targets must be official NRA targets. This is about standardization and ensuring fairness across events. Official targets carry the words Official National Rifle Association and the eagle and shield insignia, which certifies their design, size, and scoring layout. Using nonofficial targets or targets without the proper insignia would introduce variability and potential confusion in scoring, so the rule is that only targets bearing that official designation are used. This universal requirement isn’t limited to regional events; it applies to all registered and approved matches.
