On Wednesday, we spent most of the day on Langley Range, practicing the Moving Target match. Here, a pair of Figure 20s are mounted on a rail system and moves across a 30-foot gap. The shooter fires at the leading figure, alternating targets as they move from right to left and then left to right. The match includes mixed runs of slow and fast speeds. The shooter has to identify which speed and therefore which point of aim to use and then he has to fire his shot before the Figure 20 disappears behind a barricade. During a fast run, the target is exposed for 2.5 seconds.
The team enjoyed the practice very much and even though we were sharing the range with two other teams, we still had more training time on the movers than any of the experienced shooters could remember.
Late in the afternoon, we moved to Nelson (the next range over) to run through a few practices of the FIBUA match. The range was full and it was outstanding training for our team.
