Saturday evening stage had many exercises, all with the potential for scoring:
Stage 1)
Start at the Superior Bar and Grill. Brush briefly against the divorced women packing the entranceway. Avoid the inevitable cold bore shot at point blank range, as this is primarily a spotting exercise and there are no points available.
Stage 2)
Be seated at the long table with the other shooters in your squad, immediately next to the live band. Chat with the girl at the next table who is asking 'the guy who looks like Tom Hanks' to grab a volleyball and shout "Wilson!!!"'. Confirm the identity of the shooter by taking a digital photo of Rich. 100 points.
Stage 3)
Starting with two rounds in your pocket, and a five dollar bill, walk from the host stand to the bar in the back, about 45 yards, an order multiple drinks on someone else's tab. Have them delivered to your table. 20 points per drink, for a total of 100 points.
Stage 4)
This is the KIMS part: On the way back, dance with the tall, skinny girl with the crazy eyes who can't keep from pulling up her shirt while rubbing against her blonde friend. 50 points if she whispers in your ear. 50 more points if the next morning you can write down what she said to your spotter and promise never to repeat it to his girfriend. Total: 100 points.
Stage 5)
Mil range the bottle blonde, determine the size of the rack, take an average of the readings for length and width, then interrupt the guy she is dancing with. Survive the encounter without assistance from the rest of the team, for a total of 100 points.
Stage 6)
This one was, I believe, a former military exercise: Stalk the crowd and establish an FFP at the entrance from the bar to the patio. Engage multiple targets at multiple distances, using at least one hold-under
. Run back to the start position, gather your equipment, and follow four movers in two teams of two men each. Cutting the center scoring ring on each target is 100 points per team member. No in-person verification of the other person's score will be permitted on this exercise.
Stage 7)
Not many formal matches have a nav exercise, but this one, apparently, did: find your way back to the range for an 8am start time the next morning.
That's all I can remember of the most challenging courses of fire. The rest was a lot of work with rifles and stuff.</div></div>
Absolutely Brilliant, Graham!
I lost some of and picked some points up on this stage, and some points are yet to be determined.
You Sir, are a word smith.
Edited to add: You forgot the know your limits drill....
