What to bring?
• Binos- bring them if you got them, as you can see in the pics below, you will want to look over that beautiful country.
• Lasers- are allowed to check our provided distances, but are not necessary.
• Bipod- If you have a extra longer one for more angled shots it could come in handy, if not use your bag.
• Bag and Kit- bring a pack with any kit you may need to carry tools, clothing, shooting bags, ammo etc.
• AMMO- there are 5 targets at each stage, there is 18 stages =90 targets, you will have up to 180 rounds max to complete the COF.
• We will have water and food on site.
• Good hiking shoes or boots along with gloves, elbow pads and knee pads may help keep cactus out of you. (there will be some light hiking, enough to make you pant for a few minutes.) We will definitely have plenty of water for folks to get hydrated because of the heat and elevation.
Targets are mostly all hangers averaging 1-1/2 to 2 moa in size.
ranges are from 300-1400 yards, the longer targets will have flashers on them to back up spotters.
We may ask squad members to help spot some targets and if the spotter elects to use your help he will ask.

We have made just one format change with regards to scoring, but will explain that when you get here, it's a strategic 2-1 point system with only first round impacts counting for 2 points.
Look forward to seeing you all at the match!
