Jim Norman 5 Posted February 16, 2014 Where can we get the targets and the exact COF that will be used at Old Bridge? THe videos show roll over prone and all sorts of odd postions. The written COF that is in the NRA booklet does not mention roll over prone or any other odd positions except sitting on a chair for 200 yard shots. Will we use IPSC, IDPS or NRA Tombstone targets? In lieu of the special target will we use the mini USPSA targets? Inquiring minds want to know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSGM 0 Posted June 2, 2014 The Course of Fire table did not translate well into the blog. Attached is a Word doc with the Course of Fire. Well, the file upload did not work on this post either. Course of Fire will be shot at 100 down to 10 yards using various positions, including shooting from your weak side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
