An individual’s class is determined by their known ability or by what they shoot at
the shoot if they're not already classified. We also have two methods of
moving shooter’s class either up, based upon their winning, placing or
average, or down, based upon average. We review all shooter’s averages
after our June and December shoots.

Course of Fire: Each squad shoots 25 pair (50 Targets). 20 minutes is allotted for each squad. Each squad consists of no more than 5. Shot at the 16 yard line.

Event usually completed around noon, with 7 or 8 squads shooting.
