Offhand Slowfire
On the offhand or standing poisition, a sling must be attached to the rifle but cannot be used other then in the grasp of the rifle. On this stage 10 rounds are fired with a time limit of ten minutes. There will be a three minute preperation period prior to starting. The rounds are loaded one at a time on this stage. This course of fire is fired on or simulates 200 yards.
The tip here is not to hold longer then 10 seconds. If you cannot get the shot off, take the rifle down from your shoulder, look away, take a few breaths and try again. There will be plenty of time to get your 10 shots off. You do not want to "rush" this stage.
Sitting Rapid Fire
On sitting rapid, the sling is used and we start from the standing position. You will have one minute to sit down, get into position, fire 2 rounds, change mags and fire 8 more. There will be a 3 minute preperation prior. This stage is fired on or simulates 200 yards. A tip here would be to slow down. There is plenty of time to get off all your shots. Almost all new competitors rush there shots and finish with way too much time left. make your shots count!
