Excellent time! Well planned and executed by the folks at AFS.
A quick description of the course (distances are approximate):
At the signal, shooter pushed (kicked) open swinging door, and neutralized one target at 7 yards with 2 rounds. Turning to the right and proceeding towards cover (vertical barrier), shooter neutralized a second target. Once behind the cover, the shooter neutralized two targets from one side of the cover, and two from the other. A swinging, soft-cover panel swung across line-of-sight on both sides, adding to the difficulty.
Since the first mag was limited to 10 rounds, there was a required mag change from behind cover.
Shooter then proceeded to the right, stopped, and shot at four bullseye-style targets at about 20 yards down the range. One shot each for accuracy.
Shooter then proceeded to a restricted vision position where he had to hit six (seven?) clay targets at 7 yards distance, through a 12" diameter tunnel (bottomless plastic bucket), in a crouched or kneeling position.
Finally, the shooter moved 3 to 5 yards to the left toward the four final targets, neutralizing each with 2 shots.
When the first round was complete (we shot a second time for record), we proceeded to a computer aided shoot program that timed our abilities to quickly target a series of plates that appeared on the projector screen. This was only the most basic of several different "scenario" programs. Ain't technology wonderful?
When we returned to the shooting lane, everyone's time dropped significantly. Most shooters completed the course in between 60 and 70 seconds.
I REALLY hope this can become a regular event - it was great! More folks would make it all that much more fun. And the indoor range (what a great facility!) makes matches possible all year long.
Nice meeting you guys at the match - hope to see you again soon!
