WOW!!! This was incredible!!! Learned SO much!!!
Day started off with everyone driving to the site. everyone is given a map, and then each team is given their destination grid coordinates.
everyone goes to the assigned grid to find their first shooting station (most cases it was over a mile from the starting point)
Once there, the RO gives you three azimuths to help locate the targets. Once you start looking thru any "glass" tha clock starts. They gave each team 10 minutes to locate, range and engauge all three targets. Both team members had to hit both targets with two rounds before the time was up.
Targets were anywhere from 250 to 1100 yards and mostly hidden in some manner.
Shooting positions had to be improvised on the spot, and most targets required re positioning to be able to get all three. Very little "prone" shooting. Lots of stuff like hanging 550 cord off a high tree branch to hold the rifle, using shooting sticks, your pack, or anything else you could make work.
Day two was more of the same, but the targets were harder to find.
Had two moving targets. One at 450 yards, and a walking pace...was able to get 6 of 10 on that one.
the other was at 650 yards, but the movement was intermittent, scored 2 of 10 on that one.
Overall score?? well, we got SMOKED!!! I got third from the bottom, and my buddy got 4th from the bottom.
