Description:
This is a “training” match that consists of 8 to 9 shooting stages and firing between 8 to16 rounds at each stage under time limits ranging between 60 and 120 seconds. The match is shot under Green Mill’s covered small-bore range at ¼ scale steel targets placed a random distances between 35 yards out to 250 yards.
This competition stresses long-distance shooting in field conditions and closely mimics shooting a .308 at 4x the distance in terms of bullet drop and wind drift. In other words, hitting a ¼ scale IPSC target at 250 yards closely matches hitting a full-size IPSC at 1,000 yards with a .308. The match includes shooting from supported and unsupported positions (e.g. standing, sitting, kneeling, 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.
