Winter 2-gun Match at Galt Sportmen's Club

Just sighted in my new AR and my backup. Not to make excuses, well OK making an excuse. :D These are my first three shots at 50m with my backup. LOL 20 clicks up and several to the right got me back on target. Lmao

Looks like a great club you folks have down there. Just curious if you could explain some of the courses of fire for me?
What's the procedure when shooting at the board with the cutouts? Do you have to move after each shot? Use all of the cutouts?
We have one of these boards now and just wondering how other clubs use theirs.

We like to mix it up with the barricade. Most times we just say you have to engage the target 4 times from 4 different ports. There are 2 "easy ports" so those are no-brainer for shooters to use but the other two require either going prone (costs you time, gets you dirty ;) ) or trying your luck in an angled slot.
In that winter match, prone wasn't an option (snow was too deep so you couldn't see the target) so we modified the cof accordingly.

The barricades are pretty versatile pieces of equipment and I'm sure once you use yours, you will come up with various devious ways to incorporate it into a course if fire.
 
Below are the stages with the cof notes
Some vids I took of Sly Mantis
Set-up: 3 Zombie Eskimo and 3 zombie sled dog targets placed at the 25m bunker. Table placed at approximately 20m from targets.
Scenario: You are heading north to escape the zombie hordes of the south. Unfortunately you discover that the far north has not been spared when you run into a family of zombie eskimos and their zombie sled dogs.
Starting Position: Pistol is loaded and made ready, safeties engaged, holstered. Rifle is loaded and made ready, safety engaged, held at low ready, standing behind the table.
On Timer: From one side of the table engage the zombie dogs with your rifle. Unload rifle and place on the table. From other side of table, engage zombie eskimos with your pistol. ALL SHOTS MUST BE MADE FROM THE SIDES OF THE TABLE AND WHILE KNEELING.
Scoring: Targets are considered neutralized if there is at least 1 shot in the white target area.

Set-up: Polar Bear Target placed in 50m bunker. Barrel placed 20m from target and set off to left side. Toboggan placed facing downrange approximately 45m from target. Dump stand placed beside the toboggan.
Scenario: Your shooting has disturbed a hungry polar bear. You have no choice but to defend yourself from this crazed beast!
Starting Position: Pistol will have magazine inserted, chamber empty, and holstered. Rifle has magazine inserted on a closed bolt and chamber is empty. Shooter is positioned on the toboggan with rifle pointing at target.
On Timer: From the prone position on the toboggan, engage all 4 steel plates on the polar bear target. Dump empty rifle in dump stand next to the toboggan MAINTAINING MUZZLE CONTROL AT ALL TIMES. Move forward to barrel and engage the 4 steel polar bear targets with your handgun. BONUS TARGET: Wiarton WIllie
Scoring: Standard scoring, missed plates incur 10 second penalty. 5 seconds deducted from overall time if centre-mass hit on Willie (max of one bonus hit).
 
Set-up: Spartan target painted white and set inside 100m bunker. Abominable head and shoulders cutout stapled to bunker wood so that it covers the head of the Spartan target. 5 Evil Penguin bowling pins hung inside small 50m bunker. Barrel 1 placed 80m from Spartan Target. Barrel 2 placed 20m from evil penguins.
Scenario: Abominable Snowman isn't a zombie (yet) but he still wants to eat your brains. He has an army of Evil Penguins with MP5s that just have to go.
Starting position: Pistol magazine inserted, chamber empty, holstered. Rifle loaded and made ready, safety engaged, low ready position behind barrel 1.
On Timer: Open and close chest piece of Abominable/Spartan. Leave empty rifle in dump bin. Move to the barrel 2 and engage all 5 penguins with your handgun.
Scoring: Standard scoring, each miss incurs a 10- second penalty. Abominable target counts as two targets; one to open and one to close.

Set up: Gong set in 200m bunker with painted happy face. Viking Tactics Barricade set at 175m from gong with dump stand placed next to it. Barrel and penguins placed as per stage 3 (barrel 20m from penguins)
Scenario: Last stage, have a nice day!
Starting Position: Pistol loaded and made ready, safeties engaged, and holstered. Rifle loaded and made ready, safety engaged, held at low ready from behind the barricade.
On Timer: Shooting from your strong side, engage gong 4 times through the ports changing ports after each shot. Then engage gong 4 times from the steps, changing steps after each shot. Switch to weak side and repeat above. Dump empty rifle and move to barrel. Engage 5 penguins with your handgun.
Scoring: Standard scoring, each miss incurs a 10 second penalty. Multiple hits on the gong from the same port or step count as hits but will incur a 3 second procedural penalty for each hit (not each shot).
 
Thanks for those cof's, they look like a lot of fun and add some twists to your everyday shooting. I see on a lot of your stages that the steel targets are not freestanding and that the RO is calling hits on the targets instead. I reckon you do this to allow more shooting and not having to set up nearly as often. Our club has also done this with gongs having to be hit before starting a stage and at the end of a stage before moving on to the next stage. Makes for more shooting and everybody wants more shooting. lol

Stages that don't require target resetting are always nice but especially when it is 23 deg below! Plus, patches don't stick as well in winter so we try to minimize cardboard use.
