Had a good turnout for our annual unofficial St. Patrick’s Day match, and great weather. Five stages, all ten rounds. Snipers shot the same course of fire unless otherwise stated.
- Stage One, The ‘Pint of Guinness’ target. From prone supported position, engage the 300yd. ‘Pint’ target (black for the beer, white for the foam). Two points for each hit on the foam.
- Sitting supported on Stage Two, alternating targets at 400 and 150yds. No sight adjustment after the first shot.
- A Nevada Sweep on Stage Three, with different shaped targets at 300, 200 and 250yds. From sitting unsupported position.
- A single 225yd. target on Stage Four, engaged from standing position. Snipers engaged a single 300yd. target from any unsupported position.
- The famous ‘Kill the Leprechaun… Or Not’ scenario on Stage Five. Throw the grenade, if it goes in the barrel, kill the leprechaun. If it doesn’t , don’t. With six pistol rounds. The from sitting supported position, alternate targets at 160 and 220yds.
Possible high score of 68.
