Run course
It will be the standard run course WITHOUT the out and back for men that we've done in years past. The penalty loop is an out and back totaling 100 yards. Lap length is just around .7 miles. I will have GPS and video up later.
- Match Class, will shoot 2 stages prone and 2 stages offhand. Each stage to be followed by 1 lap.
- Youth and Novice class will shoot all 4 stages prone. Each stage to be followed by 1 lap.
Bike Course
New this year we will have a bike course. Please note that there is 2 way traffic on the road and going out to the Tree Farm. There will be at least 2 barriers set up on the course as well. Cyclocross bikes can be ridden on the course. Coming into the range, we will have one of the Action Pits for you to transition off your bike. We are still trying to work out logistics for the penalty loop. There may or may not be a penalty loop. If there is one, it will be an abbreviated lap in the Tree Farm. Otherwise time will be added to your finish time.
- Match Class, will shoot 2 stages prone and 2 stages offhand. Each stage to be followed by 2 laps.
- Youth and Novice class will shoot all 4 stages prone. Each stage to be followed by 2 laps.
