Jim is an awesome teacher.

Instruction, demonstrations and drills by the students.

Lessons learned

#1 buy a 16" gas gun (preferably KAC) for all those bolt gunners.

As far as accuracy went, it was clear that the 16" gas gun was as accurate as the bolt gun to the 636yd max we could fire on the range.

#2 buy a Leupold scope with Horus reticle

On some timed drills - my partner and I shot a drill in 1/4 of the time (including movement) on a multi distance range scenario as the bolt gun teams
I left my scope at 100 and simply held on the mil marks for windage and range.
My partner had to dial his mils, but that was cause he did not have a Leupold with Horus reticle

#3 Communication and familiarity with your partner.
The LE teams that came out as a sniper team had way better commication than those of us who showed up as singles and tried to get into a groove with a partner we just met.

#4 QD Bipod - is a must

#5 Bullet Flight rocks
I had the advantage of have a scope set to the gun and ammo combo (KAC SR-25 EMC, Leupold CQBSS w/ H58 and M118LR), but we shot in yards not meters, so I did ended up using BulletFLight dope to do my holds

More to follow."

wow, that looks like you guys had fun. i always say if you get behind a good gas gun enough, it is hard to beat shooting and moving. off a bipod, prone, on a shooting mat they might be close but off of diferent surfaces, diferent positions its next to impossible to be as fast.
