Long Range – Save The Calf

Targets:

10 total, set as 2 long range rifle caliber (longest range), 2 rifle caliber repeater, 2 pistol caliber, gallery .22 (if weather permits), 2 pistol and 2 shotgun.

Ammo:

10 Rifle per stage, caliber(s) of shooters’ choice (5 for pistol, 10 for shotgun).

Props: Chair, two rifle racks, shooting sticks, shooting mat if desired.


Staging: Shooter seated in chair, standing, prone or other safe position. Loaded rifle in shooter’s hands, in port arms position, prone position, or other position of choice when shooting begins.

POSSE MEMBERS: you will keep your same work assignments on this stage!

POSSE LEADERS: Keep the action moving- run this stage like any other. Try to accommodate two shooters at once, shooting different banks of targets. Position shooters so brass falls on mat.

PLEASE NOTE that there is a SEPARATE scoring sheet for this stage! Do NOT put scores for Long Range on the regular sheets.

Start: At the sound of the buzzer, shooter will engage targets for the caliber chosen in any sequence as long as the targets are not double-tapped (i.e. targets must be shot one then another, not repeatedly for two or more consecutive shots).

Scoring: Time is not the primary scoring method, hits are. For this stage, the shooter must announce his/her caliber choice to the scorer before the stage begins. .22 rifle shooters are scored in repeating or single shot rifle OPEN category, depending on action type. Shotgun Stampede is also scored separately.

Counters count Hits only, last shot stops the clock. Time breaks ties in number of hits only.

IF time allows, shooters may shot a second gun of a different caliber, but must wait until all shooters have completed their first gun.

***THIS STAGE IS OPTIONAL!***
