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.
