1. Left side of range: 12 rounds, 120 seconds, 1 point per hit
Begin with empty rifle. Rifles with removable magazine will have magazine out, rifles without removable magazine will remove the bolt. After start signal, move from start area to shoot position, and place empty rifle on the ground. Return to start area and retrieve either 6 rounds of ammo in a magazine, the bolt, or 6 loose rounds of ammo. Return to shoot area and engage T1-4 with one round each, and re-engage T1-2 a second time (6 shots total). Leave empty rifle at shoot area, and return to start area. Retrieve 6 LOOSE rounds of ammo, return to rifle, and engage T4,5, then T1-4 with one round each (6 rounds total).
2. Standards: Right side of range. 12 rounds/120 seconds/1 point per hit. There will be a gently balanced 1x2 above shooter's muzzle at both shoot areas. Shooter's muzzle must protrude below the 1x2 during shooting and preparation, but if the 1x2 is dislodged by the rifle (poor muzzle control), the shooter will receive a zero on the stage.
After the start signal shooter will engage T5-8 with one round each from offhand, then with a completely empty rifle (chamber and magazine), move to shoot area 2, and fire one round on T5-8 from kneeling, then transition to seated position and repeat.
3. Rooftop/barricade. Left side of range. 12 rounds/120 seconds/1 point per hit. This will use the small roof top placed onto it's side with the point of the "V" toward the targets. Begin @ low ready with empty chamber. After start signal, engage T1-4 with one round each from either right, or left side of barricade, but with muzzle below the top line of the barricade. Then engage T1-4 with one round each from over the top of the barricade, and finally, engage T1-4 again from the other end of the barricade, again below the top line of the barricade. Must use cover and remain inside side fault lines.
4. Pistol stage. 16 rounds/ 60 seconds/16 points possible
Shooter will begin with pistol at low ready position on the left side of the range,
about 15 yards from the left bank of targets. Pistol will be loaded with no more
than 8 rounds. After the start signal, shooter will fire one round only on T1-4,
and repeat. Shooter cannot leave shoot area 1 until his pistol has it's slide
locked to the rear, or the cylinder open. After pistol has it's slide locked to the
rear, or cylinder open, shooter will move to shoot area two, located in front of
targets #5-8. Shooter may reload their pistol only AFTER stopping at shoot
area two. Shooter will then fire one round only at targets #5-8, and repeat.
Shooter must engage targets as designated 1-4, then 1-4 again, then engage
targets 5-8, then 5-8 again.

Stage 4. In the cards. 9 rounds/90 seconds/1 point per hit. There will be three cards, with each card indicating the various banks of 3 targets at 100 yards. The deck will be shuffled and placed at random in front of the shoot area. Shooter begins with empty rifle on ground next to the deck of 3 cards. After the start signal, shooter will turn over ONE card, load rifle, and engage the bank of targets indicated on the card they turned over. If the incorrect bank is engaged, there will be a zero score for that bank of targets. All banks of targets shall be engaged from RIGHT TO LEFT ONLY. Shooter will repeat this process with the other two banks of targets.
Stage 5. Parapet. 10 rounds, 120 seconds/1 point per hit. Using rifle, sling and bipod only...no bags, packs or other support. Begin at low ready, chamber empty. After start signal, from the uppermost level of the parapet, engage T3 with one round, and T4 with one round only, and repeat. Then from the lowest level of the parapet, engage T1, and T2 (200 yards) with one round only. From the middle height level of the parapet, engage T5 with one round, and T6 (375 yards) with one round, and repeat.
Stage 6. Horizontal Barricade. 9 rounds/120 seconds/1 point per hit
Shooting around the ends of the barricade will be done from a full left handed position around the left side, and a full right handed position around the right side...hybrid positions are not allowed. Shooter must pull the trigger with the hand matching the side of the barricade they are shooting from (i.e., left hand side of barricade=left trigger finger). Start position is low ready, empty chamber. After start signal, move to either end of the barricade, and engage T7, T8, and T9 (435 yards) with one round only from that end of the barricade, using the barricade as cover. Repeat over the top of the barricade, and repeat from the remaining end of the barricade.
Stage 7. Parapet and barricade. 12 rounds/120 seconds/1 point per hit. Shooter will begin in overwatch position from either end of the barricade, or any level on the parapet. Shooter will have 30 seconds to acquire their overwatch position prior to start of the stage.
Shooting positions will be from either end of the horizontal barricade, and from one level (shooter's choice) at the parapet. Shooter must use cover at the horizontal barricade.
After the start signal, shooter will engage T10, T11,(500 yards) T12, and T13 (535 yards) with one round only. Move to next position and repeat, move to final position and repeat. IF THE MUZZLE OF A LOADED FIREARM GOES ABOVE THE BACK STOP AREA, SHOOTER WILL ZERO THIS STAGE. THERE WILL BE NO WARNING FOR FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONTROL YOUR MUZZLE.
