Rules and basic info for all precision rifle and sniper/spotter team events

Sniper/spotter events

There will be be 3 different shooting areas including the woods courses. While this will be timed event, there will not be a par time or max round count. We will however have the right to call/stop any team that is just taking way to much time. The winners will be the shooters that used the least amount of time and rounds used to complete the combined courses. On the trail there will only be one team at a time, this is so everyone has to deal with the obstacles I'm putting place on their own and not see how the previous teams deal with them. Every station will have a set of instructions that will designate the targets and order of engagement. The range to targets will be included on a few of these but not all so we can keep things moving a a fast pace. It will be the spotter responsibility to relay this info to the sniper and confirm hit/miss. The spotter will be engaging targets from 10 yards out to 200 yards with their weapon. Both will be using their handguns. At the end of the trail there will be a buddy drag where the team will have to retrieve a simulated wounded buddy  and drag him back to safety while at the same time engaging targets.

The standard  round count is as follows (this may vary)-- Sniper- 64 rnds minimum, -- Spotter- 64 rnds minimum,-- handgun 60 (30 each) total for both team members. The entry fee will be $50.00 for each team and we will try to start shooting around 8:30 am with registration/safety meeting at 8:00 am.

  These events will require a pre-registration, go to BSF website to their event page, find the date of the event and there will be a link to register. It will be $20.00 per team member (the total per 2 man team is $50.00) and the balance of $5.00 for each member will need to be paid the day of the event. Also we have limited this to 12 teams/24 shooters so you may want to go ahead and register for this if plan to shoot.

Shooters will be divided into at least 2 squads. so that we can keep the wait time to a minimum.

------Scoring :

• Base time = actual time to complete the stage.

-----Penalties :

-- FTN = ( failure to neutralize ) +10 seconds per target not hit. Shooter must make a minimum of 3 shots at any target before the shooter can decline a target and continue the stage.

-- FTE = ( failure to engage ) +30 seconds per target not engaged. i.e. shooter passed by a target, ran out of ammo, or weapon failure. NOTE if the sniper/spotter has a failure the other team member can try to engage but only at one station  and not to be continued thru the course. This is so they may have a chance to correct the issue.

-- Hostage or friendly targets on a stage that are hit will incur a +60 second penalty.

--Stage score will be the shooters base time & penalties / bonuses  combined.

--Tie scores will be awarded to the shooter who expended the least amount of rounds.

There will be a break time between the woods courses and the trail so shooters can gather ammo, equipment, hydrate, food.

Special note: IF anyone who wants to shoot in this event but does not have a team member email me.
