Wow, getting to day 2 was tough. Is there a caliber list used?

 

[gpoldblue]

And the Canadian sniper is still the King of Two Miles!

Actually....2.2 miles!

What's going on with the people who have no recorded shots at 2 miles?

I believe it is "Hit to Advance"

I believe it is "Hit to Advance"

So a hit on target 5 lets you shoot target 7 even if you missed all of your shots on target 6? Is that how it works?

 

[davidjoe]

Yes, you need a hit per target to advance, or you’re done. More hits equal more points and earlier hits are valued higher.

So you can prepare for a year, travel and be done 5 shots.

At least day one is sudden death. I agree the sheet appears sketchy on day two.

What's the reasoning behind this - is it a time constraint? Seems like if everyone gets to shoot day one, everyone should have time to shoot day two.

I’ve only watched the YouTube episodes and read up on blogs, but I glean that with only one shooter at a time, they really are time pressed. This second reason is just my opinion, but I suspect they also aren’t going to give guys a “practice match” zeroing in all the targets to get serious the next year, while everyone waits.

Lots of people timed out (or ran out if ammo) in the final. So they had no shots at 2m.

Hoping to go next year. Ensemble of rifles made for this since it began without making trip, yet. From out here in the bleachers, seemed tough this year. I saw you mention guys running out of ammo but there’s no pre-match sighter opportunity, is there? I totally believe you but it’s not exactly a high round count event; I’d be muttering the whole return drive. Were impacts especially hard to see this year? (Considering a light 50 over a .416 or .375 choice). Are the distances repeated yearly?

There are full 2 days of qualifying before the final.

Having the final with a smaller group keeps the playing field a little more level with conditions.

It's not a build participation by making it fun event. It's more you get to be famous for a year. They have people crawling over the top of each other to enter. I think they take about 1/3 the applicants.

Pretty sure you’re only allowed 15 shots on the last 3 targets total in the allotted amount of time.
