Students will begin at the start point and total running time will begin on the command of start.
The student will move to position one (1) and fire the above described requirements not to
surpass the number of rounds and cover and exposure times. The shooter will move to each
subsequent position and perform the appropriate action as described in the block.
The shooter must perform a reload prior to moving from position three.
At position 5 the shooter will fire 1 round and then transition to the back up firearm and fire 2
rounds with the back up. Hits with the back up firearm will not be used in determining the
shooters hit total. Once the shooter fires the last round from the back up firearm total running time
will stop.
Each shooter will load their first magazine with only 9 rounds. The second magazine will be
loaded with only 4 rounds.
