COURSE OF FIRE

Shooters will be divided into flights and squads. Each squad will consist of 3 or 4 shooters. Each shooter will have 2 mins to fire 5 shots at the assigned steel target in a given stage.

First shooter of each squad will engage the 1MOA target at a given distance, followed by shooter 2 and shooter 3. Then shooter 1 will engage the 1/2MOA target at the same distance, followed by shooter 2 and 3.

If a shooter does not make any impacts on the 1 MOA target they may chose to repeat the 1 MOA target instead of engaging the 1/2 MOA target.

Flight 1 will engage the first distance followed by flight 2 and 3, then flight 1 will return to the line to engage second distance, etc until all flights have completed all 5 distances.
