What does ELR mean, and is it a single discipline?
ELR stands for Extreme Long Range. The term is used for particularly long shooting distances. It does not identify a single worldwide rulebook, nor does the name establish one distance threshold for all events and cartridges.
ELR stands for Extreme Long Range. The term is used for particularly long shooting distances. It does not identify a single worldwide rulebook, nor does the name establish one distance threshold for all events and cartridges.
An ELR competition therefore needs to be described through its own event rules. Differences can include target type, number of scored attempts, shooting order, team rules and equipment classes. The longest distance alone does not explain the difficulty or scoring.
A single documented hit and a repeatable competition performance are also different claims. A meaningful report therefore needs the distance, scoring rules and a traceable results source. On Weitschuss, ELR helps readers navigate the sport. Assessing the actual achievement requires details of the particular event.
