course.
The course will be approximately 5.5 miles. This distance includes over 300 feet in elevation gain thru steep rocky terrain. There will be 8 stations.
70% of points will be based on your shooting and 30% on how fast you run the course. The shooting score will be determined by the elapsed time to hit all targets. The time limit per station is 3 minutes.
The Range Officer will explain the course of fire at each station and solicit questions. On the command "make ready" you will insert magazine, chamber a round and put the firearm on safety. You should already have your hearing protection on and your gear adjusted when you arrive on station. The clock starts on the command "go". Time waiting to begin a station along with your shoot time will be recorded by one of the Range Officers. You are encouraged to take your own stop watch to compare wait times with Range Officers. While traveling between stations the rifle must have an empty chamber and no magazine inserted. This will be checked on arrival and departure at each station. Participants found carrying a loaded rifle will be disqualified. Pistols may be loaded, but remain holstered.
