Pit Rotations and Sheep

[chuckw2]

Guys,
I have been shooting mr and lr prone matches for two years now and have not ever figured out the pit rotations. I just do what the person beside me does.

If the shooter beside starts running like hell toward his truck to go to the pits, I too run like hell for my truck.

If he starts pulling his equipment to the line, I start pulling mine to the line.

Sometimes we shoot three people on a point sometimes we shoot four.

Sometimes we shoot three relays, sometimes two.

Everyone else seems to know what is going on, please explain it to me...

Rule #1: Everyone pulls targets, or provides a puller.
Rule #2: Everyone pulls for a roughly equal # of shots.
Rule #3: Match directors should try to allow shooters coming out of the pit some form of break before shooting. Not possible in a 2 relay match, but highly possible with 3 or more.

The attachment below is for a 3 relay rotation for a match fired at 200/300/600 yards. This rotatation chart satisfies all 3 requrements listed above.
