Yes, it is shot prone at 60 yards with your rifle resting "over the log" or on a "chunk" of wood. Targets are X-center cards. It's a black powder, patched round ball, non adjustable sights match.
Shoot the center of the X out and you have what is known as a spider shot. The matches are scored by string measure from the center of the X to the center of where your ball struck.
Prizes are awarded for each round and also for the shortest strings or total of the 10 rounds shot.

Usually you can bring your own spotter target and put the "scoring target" where your balls hit.
You can't see the fine X-line at 60 yards. If you know how your rifle shoots in relation to a spotter you can design as you like to get the tightest group, you should be fine. Depending on the specific shoot, shaders are allowed. Depending on how good the competition is, a 1" group of five shots is almost mandatory to get any early trip to the price table.
Often there are several "prices", like "closest to the X" and best "aggregate string" etc.

Here's one of the most popular chunk shoots of the year.
