    To the competitors - do not be overly concerned with being slow (unless you significantly hold up another competitor - then I need to get involved) because if the absolute slowest competitor last year had hit all their targets they would have finished up in the top 5 competitors (i.e. most people could shoot better). The last couple of years the top competitors have picked up their game and to win it means you need a damn near perfect shooting score and also a reasonably fast time. Comparatively the fastest competitor who doesn't shoot well will need to be fastest on every course (and by a reasonable margin) and if they are lucky will come in the top ten.

    Our swinging target will be back again. I'm bringing our newer spinning target and I have been toying with the idea of putting a bonus target behind the spinner for those competitors shooting a larger caliber. Also expect one "hostage" target set up and then a longer range set of targets getting progressively smaller to add a good precision stage. We try and make sure not all the shooting is prone and so expect a reasonable portion of the shooting to be some sort of positional. Most of the shooting is supported somehow though (tree stump, barricade, bipod/day pack, etc.).

    Spectators are fine on the day but they can't help competitors and they will be subject to the same safety requirements (ear protection and sticking to the course) - also competitors should get priority at the BBQ!

    Only a week away now!
