Comments/Notes/Tips:
– You can fail to meet the standard by either running out of time, or out of ammo. Understand you can’t advance to until you get a, “Hit.”
– You start with 16 bullets, so can miss 10 times and still meet the minimum standard, but …. every missed shot is about 3 seconds. Accuracy before speed ….
– Tip. Trigger control is everything! – Also, as your coming back from the sprints to the rifle, take 1 or 2 deep breaths and you come in and pick up the rifle.
