COURSE
OF FIRE:
The
all-outdoor course of fire includes 4 separate timed 20 shot,
200-point phases that, together give an aggregate possible score
of 800 points and is shot from 200, 300 and 600 yards. The
circular ringed bullseye style targets vary in size and have
anywhere from 13 to 36 inches of aiming black, depending on
overall yardage from the firing line. The first phase is the
unsupported 200-yard"offhand" or "standing slow-fire" (22 minutes,
individually loaded, fired & scored), followed by the 200-yard
supported "sitting rapid fire" (2 60-second phases of 10 shots,
each with a magazine change), the 300-yard supported "prone
rapid-fire" (2 70 second phases of 10 shots, each with a magazine
change) and the 600- yard supported "prone slow-fire" (22 minutes,
individually loaded, fired & scored). Before each phase,
every shooter is also allowed 2 "sighters", or practice shots,
which may be taken from any position. Every round afterwards
at each phase is then counted for score, the maximum being for
10-points each and on down to 5-points. Misses count as 0
and any X's count as 10-points and are used for tiebreakers and
bragging rights.
