COURSE OF FIRE: This match is designed specifically for some of those great vintage firearms of the Cold War era such as SKS, M14, M1 Garand , SVT 40 etc. This will be a demanding 2-stage event where upon the start signal 2 teams will advance to their firing position simultaneously with all the equipment they intend to use and with the firearms unloaded. As soon as all team members have reached the firing point, they may load and commence firing at the designated targets. Once all the targets in this stage have been eliminated, firearms will be unloaded and cleared by their Range Officer. Once the firearms have been cleared, the members may advance through the obstacles to the second stage. Once all team members have entered the second firing point they may load and commence firing until all the targets are down. The team that eliminates all their targets and knocks down the stop plate first will be declared the winner. There will be a 10 Min time limit. No equipment may be discarded along the way, except for empty magazines, clips, belts and empty ammo cans. A detailed range briefing will be given before the match.
