Traditional High Power Rifle shooting is most commonly done using a rifle with a military web or a Model 1903 leather sling, although custom slings for match rifle are available.
 A sling is required to be affixed to the rifle for all stages for service rifles.
 Shooters use a shooting mat, shooting jacket, and wear a specialized glove that is worn on the support hand do dampen pulse, felt recoil, and protect the support hand from the sling which can be very tight during use.
 The shooting is done at known distances of 100 to 1000 yards from the firing line depending on the format of the match.
 

Some High Power Rifle matches are shot only at 200 yards, such as sometimes seen during specific M1 Garand matches, and Axis and Allies matches, although they are still shot from various positions (standing, sitting/kneeling, prone).
