We shot 9 stages & were completed by 1:15... Thank you guys for helping to keep things running along, we had a few steel targets fail but with backups on hand we delt with it & kept trucking.
Stage 1 was a 6" shoot n see @ 300m ( cold bore ) 1 round triple ring value 10 sec par time starting standing with rifle on the ground. Eddy (new guy), Henry, James all nailed the 10 ring... Good job guys!
Stage 2 was the same target with 5 rnds in 40 sec. Danny scored the highest with an impressive 59 pts.. Way to go Danny
Stage 3 was roof top hold overs, 6 rnds in 70 sec we had 70yd paper, 200m 6" steel,300m 8" steel. James had the highest score with 40 pts showing us how it's done.
Stage 4 was the hostage targets 6 rnd in 90 sec, 1 round at each hostage taker flapper L&R at 150yd, 200m, & 12" plate @ 300m shot from the airbag... Rifle had to be supported by the bag & you were allowed rear support but getting a solid position was almost impossible as your reticle bounced around as if you were on a boat! -10 pts for hitting the white hostage. Henry,Ben & myself scored 5 hits.
Stage 5 was Tresslers light box... A very cool box that had 5 lights A-E that corresponded to targets at different locations & was at random. 5 rnds with the box giving you commands for random targets. You had to be quick & keep up with the commands because if it got ahead of you ..you easily got lost searching for the targets....very fun & challenging... Mr Tressler is a genius!! The highest was 2 hits by Henry, myself,Danny,James,Oscar & Nate showing you it was very difficult.
Stage 6 was the Vertigo stage... Shooters had to place the bat on the ground with forehead touching & complete 4 rotations around the bat causing you to become extemely dizzy, rifle was already on the ground with bolt back engaging the pink 200m then 300m steel back & forth with 6 rnds... Sounds easy but with your head spinning easier said than done! Henry, James & Rich C all scored 6 hits cleaning the stage... Well done gents!!
Stage 7 was Nates House...9 rnds with a mandatory mag change & no more that 5 rnds in each mag @ 6" orange steel set at 200m with 3 shots from each port in the house, we were given a 20 sec heads up before the 100sec were up saving you from a -30 pts for not exiting on time. Most didn't shoot all 3 ports due to not having enough time. Oscar had the highest score of 30pts (3 hits) nice job brother!!
Stage 8 was Race to the middle where 2 shooters went against each other shooting the diamond rack @ 150 yds from the outside in & hitting the stop plate @ 200m with the winner getting extra 20pts. Henry,Julian,Danny & James all scored 80 pts (all five 2" diamond hits & getting to the stop plates first against their competitors) awesome shooting guys.
Stage 9 was Mil it & drill it 5 rnds where the shooters all had 2 min to mil the position of 5 circles at 70 yds after the prep time shooters had 90 sec to shoot the circles that were now covered except for a reference point where measurements were taken during the prep time. In other words you couldn't see the actual circles plus we had a few no hit circles in between getting you neg points for hitting those. James & Nate both had 4 hits (40 pts)in the circles & no hits to the negative pt targets. You guys are awesome ;)
