The competition later moved to the purpose-built Bisley Camp where it is still held today.
A "Queen's Prize" is used as the standard course of fire for fullbore rifle matches at the Commonwealth Games, although all competitors shoot all distances without elimination.
Stage one is an open elimination round consisting of three "2+7" matches (2 sighters with 7 shots to count) at 300, 500 and 600 yards.
The top three hundred competitors progress to the second stage, which typically includes scores of ~101 or better.
The top scorer in the second stage is awarded an NRA Silver Medal for winning the "short range" portion of the competition, regardless of how they perform in the final.

There are now six shooters who have won the Prize three times:[11] Also notable is PA Bennison's 1998 shoot, where he became the first person to score a "possible" with 300.40v.
