My question is if you have only 200 yards range to work with what drills and how many round would you shoot in a day. What specific drills or positions would you shoot for sniper type competitions.

Re: Range drills
how many rounds would be determined by how much 'practice' you need to get the drills you are working on, correct
with regards to drills, there are many
cold bore shots
rapid bolt manipulation;
groups,
one shot only at small target (like the Sniper Hide .10 moa targets)
, positions
, mechanical offset at distances closer than 100 yds ( or what does your rifle/optic do at 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 yds )
, dry fire practice,
natural point of aim,
trigger work,
leave the gun at the firing line and then move back to the 150 or 200 run to the 100 yd line and shoot the same drills alredy mentioned,
practice getting down behind the gun the same way every time,
target recognition games,
spotter/sniper dialog,
roll over drills (spotter then sniper takes turns being the trigger monkey),
data book entry,
any and all marksmanship fundamentals,
if you are shooting a variable power scope , shoot a group on the low power setting, dial up in power to the next setting, shoot at the same target, is the set of rounds in the same group ? do this all the way up to the max power setting
low crawl with your rifle from the 150 yard line to the 100 yard line, shoot your cold bore
and the list goes on . . . ad nauseum
its limited only by your imagination sir

Re: Range drills
The competitions I've done all required physical exertion prior to the course of fire. 100 yard run/sprint, dummy drag for a distance, obstacles etc. then small targets that have to be engaged in a rapid succession. Also clays, miniclays, steel of various sizes/shapes, poker chips, awkward positional shots...
What competition?

Re: Range drills
Ive also been a fan of the timed color dot drills. it helps with target recognition, rapid bolt manipulation, and reloading.
