    The normal course of fire is 2 sighting shots + 10 counting shots per round of shooting.
    More if you are having trouble getting onto the target (which you shouldn't be if you have a known zero).

    Figure on 2 rounds of shooting, 20 -24, more if you want to stay for the afternoon's shooting at 500 & 600 yards.

    Those who are interested please email the club.
