Course of fire
B3 The course of fire is detailed in the table below. It is a continuous Defence shoot with targets at 300m, 200m and 100m, using various positions on an electronic target range (ETR). There will be a Fig.11 at 300m and 200 and a Fig 12 at 100m in each ETR lane. Be careful to identify your lane, as it is easy to cross shoot. A hit on the target will score 4, 40 rounds total, HPS 160.
There will be rotating details:
1 FIRING, 1 PREPARING TO SHOOT, 1 RESTING (assisting as safety supervisors)
MAKE SAFE – Load with 10 rounds, close the bolt ensuring there is no round in the chamber, apply safety catch
