Brother.. if you haven't tried this yet... it is a must!
As this was one of the hardest kind of shooting I've ever done... and when I mean hard.. I don't mean physically challenging. What was hard for me was adjusting for a lot of things in that 3 minute time limit like, shooting positions, how to deal with winds blowing not just on flat ground but up or down a hill or ridge, trees, beside that fricken house... and then trying to adjust that hit or miss as you go out to further targets. I've never shot like that before... and I'm not certain I learned anything out there to improve my shooting as far as where the rounds will end up, but i learned a hell of a lot with unconventional shooting positions (that I need to practice), and how to watch out for changing environment. The guys on the squad I was in are all a bunch of AWESOME guys!!!! I'm pretty sure all the shooters are the same way one way or the other.. all in all... Yes! You need to do this match!
