Starting Time: 2:00 pm.

Course of Fire: Each team will start at 300 yard. All firing will be done from the prone position either off the sand bags provided or with the use of a sling, but not utilizing both. The team will be allowed 5 minutes for unlimited sighters. One team member will spot while the other team member fires 10 shots for record. The range officer will announce when the tenth target is to come up. The team will then be allowed 2 minutes to change positions. The second team member will then fire 10 shots for record. The targets will be exposed for 20 seconds and down for 20 seconds. The team will then rotate with the team in the pits. This process will be repeated at 600 yards. The standard 300 yard and 600 yard high power rifle targets will be used.
