We will start setting up at around 8 A.M. for what should be a heck of a morning.
Here is the "Two Minute Drill":
The match will be held on the Rimfire Range.
When called to the line, the shooter will bring three rimfires to the line; a .22 semi-automatic pistol, a .22 semi-automatic rifle, and a bi-podded .22 bolt action rifle.
Under RO supervision, the pistol will be loaded with 10 rounds and then placed down on bench #2 with the muzzle pointed downrange, and the chamber empty. The same drill will be performed for the semi-auto rifle at bench #3 and the bolt gun at bench #4. A shooter may employ two fivers for the bolt gun if he/she lacks a 10 shot mag.
The shooter will move back to bench # 1 and stand behind it with both hands resting on the bench.
Upon a "start" command from the RO, the shooter will move to bench #2, chamber a round, and engage ten rams from 50 feet.
When all rounds are expired, the shooter will safely place the handgun back down on bench #2 with the muzzle pointed down range and proceed to bench #3. The clock will continue to run.
The shooter will repeat this drill at #3 and #4 with the targets being 10 pigs from 25 yards at #3 and 10 little chickens from 50 yards at #4 respectively.
The firing from #2 and #3 will be unsupported and offhand. However, the firing from #4 will be conducted in any safe manner that the shooter deems best for his physique, prowess, and equipment i.e. lean on the bench, shoot offhand using the roof support post, whatever. If the shooter decides to go prone, he/she is prohibited from using a shooting mat. I simply don't want the handling of these mats disrupting the flow of the match or creating a safety hazard to be tripped over.
The shooter will be finished when the bolt action rifle at bench #4 is empty or when the RO calls "stop" at the two minute mark, whichever comes first.
The shooter's score will be the number of critters left standing.
After all three firearms are cleared and flagged, the shooter will rest a moment off the line while the other shooters move down range quickly and reset his/her downed targets.
Upon the safe return of the reset crew, the shooter will come to the line and repeat the entire string again.
The shooter's final score will be the aggregate number of critters left standing. The low score wins. The low score wins. The little chickens will be the tie breaker in that if tie scores exist at the end of the match, the shooter with the least number of birds standing wins.
Tubular magazines will be given special safety compliance attention by ROs.
Optics, aperture, or open sights - it's your choice - combine them if you wish.
