Description:
This is a “1 quarter scale” match that consists of nine shooting stages firing between 8 to 20 rounds at each stage at targets ranging between 35 yards out to 234 yards. This match includes shooting from supported and unsupported positions (e.g. standing, sitting, kneeling, w/tripods, barricades etc.) under time pressure. The course of fire is fun but challenging and will help each shooter to hone their marksmanship skills. A detailed knowledge of your ballistics as well as good wind reading skills is required to make first rounds hits.

This competition is designed to develop and hone marksmanship skills and stresses long-distance shooting in field situations and closely mimics the ballistics and wind drift of long-range steel matches at one quarter the distance. In other words, if you manage to hit the ¼ scale IPSC target at 250 yards with your .22 the elevation and wind call closely mimics what you need to hit a full-size IPSC at 1,000 yards with a .308.
