Course of Fire: This practice requires you to shoot up to 20 consecutive rounds to score at each distance

rounds for score. The only restriction is that you have 30 minutes to complete this in total. Once you are
satisfied with your sighting and wish to start to shoot for score it is your responsibility to ensure that the
scorer is aware of this and is ready to mark your score card. Each shot, sighter and competition, will be
scored and fall of shot indicated. At the end of your 20 scoring shots or 30 minute squad, whichever comes
first, you will be asked to countersign your score card. If you complete your string within the 30 minutes
make sure that the scorer is aware that you have finished. Your time for completion (from the beginning of
your squading time) will also be recorded and may be used in the event of a tie.
