The Competition in G.B. is held at Bisley and when in America at Camp Perry
Medal size 2in and made by W.Miller Birmingham
Web Site info.
In Canada the only match that I know of that’s shot at 100 yards is the Dewar match shot at the nationals. The Dewar is a long-running international postal competition between the U.S., Britain, Canada and (I think) Australia and New Zealand.

The Dewar is special because it has two stages: 20 shots at 50 yards (not metres) and 20 shots at 100 yards, for a total score out of 400. The trick is moving quickly from 50 to 100 yards because you don’t get extra time in between.
