What does the Speed Challenge look like?
There will be a number of different stages set up at the range. Each stage will have a different course of fire, target layout, scoring format, etc. You will randomly draw at each stage to go up against a shooter in your squad (one-on-one). You will then complete the course of fire side-by-side and try to complete the stage faster than the other shooter.
Before RMAC, we will randomly draw and assign you each to a squad the morning of each event. You will compete in the squads in many of the events including Precision Marksman and Speed Challenge. Shooting in squads makes it easier logistically for us to run shooters through.
