Course of Fire Examples
This match is designed to make the shooter a more proficient and confident shooter with the various COF’s (Course of Fire). We typically shoot at steel targets and score by Impact only. If you miss, no call is provided, and no help is provided. The competitor is responsible for spotting their own shots and correcting their misses. Typical Courses Of Fire include 15-20 steel targets multiple shooting positions, shooting on the move, and you can expect to see a Texas star at each match.
