Cy,
what's the course of fire for string 5?
Thanks, Kevin
Hey Kevin,
String 5 is the only one that is not timed but it is probably the most challenging one for most of us. Shooters start with a magazine loaded with 10 rounds and they have to engaged a target at 75 yards (which we call "Know Your Limits), 175 yards and 200 yards. The targets at 175 & 200 yards need to be hit only once and you get full-point value (175 pts & 200 pts respectively) once you have hit them.
The target at 75 yards is a 3-part target: One 3" round target, another one that is 2" and a 1" target. If you hit the 3" one you get 25 pts, if you hit the 3" & the 2" consecutively, you get 50 points. If you hit all 3 targets in succession, you get 100 points. If you miss the 2nd or 3rd targets, your points get reset to zero and you have to start fresh (or you can choose to stop at target #1 or #2).
If you shoot this string clean you only need 5 rounds but, since you can make up misses, you have up to 10 rounds to get the maximum point value. Most shooters start by shooting at the 200yd target and, if they haven't hit it with their third shot, they go for the closer ones.
So when did you add the 5th string Cy?
I need to get back out there, its been to long, maybe the next one. When is August's?

I think it was 3 matches ago. The originally thought of it as a bonus round but everyone liked it so we decided to keep it. The 200yd shot is challenging but, very doable. I have a hard time with it but CStone makes this shot on command (and with open sight nonetheless)!
The August one is happening next weekend. I hope you can join us!
Yeah Chuck is super human though!!....
