Cloudy with slight breezes means clear target silhouettes and no mirage resulting in high scores.
A small mishap on range five (Ask Mud Duck) forced a set up on range seven. I think it worked better. The varied terrain with the vegetation gave the match a more realistic look. Maybe we can use this a limited walk around.
There were five stages this month with a total of Fifty rounds of rifle and six rounds of pistol. The April Vmbar incorporated the second Axis powers match which shot the full course of fire allowing the single rifle shooters the opportunity to compete in both the standard match and the Axis match.
Stage 1 was the standard sitting or kneeling position with two targets, one at 200 yards and the other at 300 yards. Shoot till you hit, shoot till you miss.
Stage 2 was prone supported at targets 200, 300 and 400 yards. Shot sequence was 4-3-3 for a total of 10.
Stage 3 was shooters choice, standing or kneeling unsupported at a target 225 yards away. Kneeling = 1 point, standing = 2 points. I think all shooters chose standing. Stage 4 was pistol and rifle from concealment, supported sitting or kneeling. Six shots at a torso sized target 35 yards with the pistol. The rifle stage was timed with 80 seconds for 10 shots at 300 yards.
The tie breaker stage had a grenade toss for 1 point. A twist allowed a missed grenade to be retrieved and a second try with more elapsed time. The shooter then shot from cover alternating between two targets at 200 yards.
Small rule changes: Grenade = 1 point, Bayonet = 1 point.
