The day will start with a safety training session at the 100yd firing point where shooter will have the chance to fire their rifles with the spike bayonet from the standing position on a fig 12 target on a screen. This will enable people to determine their aiming point for the competition later. The fig 12 will be done by covering the bottom half of the Fig11.
The first 5 shots will use the bottom of the fig 12 as the aiming point to determine the drop. The 5 shots will be marked.
The competition will have three practices, shot at 300, 200 and 100 firing points. HPS for each practice is 50, competition HPS is 150.
There will be rotating details:
