Shots will be mostly from 300 to 600 yards...but it will vary. Yardages will not be posted, the shooter/spotter team must determine distance, wind, etc. All shots will count, there are no sighters. Electronics are welcome, Ballistic programs, wind meters, and laser rangefinders are allowed and encouraged. (On at least one target though, you will receive bonus points if you reticle range that target distance). We also suggest a field proven drop chart in 25 yard increments,(and a copy for your spotter) as well as a pack to carry your gear in. You will pair up into spotter/shooter teams, and a Range Officer (RO) will be with each group, to ensure safety, and record hits.

Lets say there is 5 targets on the 1st stage. The RO will say there are 5 targets, and between the two of you will need to find them and point them out to the RO. Then you need to communicate to the RO the order you will shoot them. Of course you and your spotter will be communicating to each other as well. The spotter will help call wind, spot your shots and call corrections if needed. It would be a good idea if your spotter had a copy of your drop chart that way he can call the dope to you. One of you would likely want a spotting scope and tripod to help spot better. Once the shooter has fired two shots at each target, the roles change and now the spotter becomes the shooter and the shooter takes his turn spotting. On the next stage, the one who spotted first, will shoot first, so there will be equal opportunities to shoot in new conditions. There may be one target that cannot be engaged from the prone position...Sort of like hunting. Unexpected shots can happen....!
