It will consist of 16-18 stages, so prepare accordingly. Round count will be ~72-144 rounds, depending on your skill level completing each stage with either 1st round impacts, vs misses/2nd round impacts, but bring extra for getting velocity/PF for your tiebreaker, and zero’ing your rifle. The COF will consist of vital sized steel plates and animal shaped steel plates with the added realism of animal placards to assist in finding vital steel targets. Some targets will be full sized animals with a vital sized “score” plate. No targets will exceed 800 yards and most will be between 200-600.
