SANDHURST COMPETITION 2013 Marksmanship

The Sandhurst Marksmanship Competition is a comprehensive assessment of the Squad’s ability to fight with their rifles. The Competition incorporates multiple target arrays, combat relevant firing positions, and malfunction clearances. Each Team will be presented with multiple target exposures from various target locations. Each safety violation (after being warned once) will result in a DEDUCTION of 20 points. Inserting a magazine into the magazine well prior to arriving at the BP / Firing Line will result in automatic disqualification from the Sandhurst Marksmanship Competition. All Teams will turn in any unused rounds at the end of their iteration (will be used as a tie breaker if needed). Scoring results will be updated throughout the day as the Teams compete. Teams will be ranked upon the completion of the Sandhurst Marksmanship Competition. Each Team’s Marksmanship score will contribute to the overall Sandhurst Competition score. Overview (1 of 2)
