properly applying immediate action, you will be given an alibi string to fore the remaining

blast.

Scoring – Any hit on silhouette is a hit. Line hits are scored so that the majority of the bullet
must make contact with the silhouette (51%). All shots score 1 point, all 40 points needed to
qualify. An additional 2 points are given to each of the 4 designated head shots that land in the
kill zone of the head. This only applies if all 40 rounds were hits. Total Maximum score 48
points.
XII.
Adverse Light Course (Optional)
The purpose of this course is to qualify with the patrol rifle in the conditions most likely
to occur in the real world. Up to 80% of the law enforcement involved shootings occur during
the hours of darkness. Light conditions vary with dominate light illuminating the threat,
backlighting the threat, and the need to be able for you to illuminate the threat.
Dedicated weapon mounted lights and lasers are an asset, and their use encouraged to
increase your chances of winning on the street. Absent a dedicated weapon mounted light you
must utilize what you have… your flashlight. The course of fire is as follows:
25 yard line
 Front Lit target – one round 4 seconds (repeat 4 times)
5 rds
 Back Lit target – one round 6 seconds (repeat 4 times)
5 rds
 Flashlight technique – 2 rounds each command (repeat 4 times)
10 rds
15 yard line
 Front lit target – one round in 3 seconds (repeat 4 times)
5 rds
 Back lit target – one round in 4 seconds (repeat 4 times)
5 rds
 Flashlight technique – 2 rounds each command (repeat 4 times)
10 rds
Total
40 rds
Every shot must be on target to qualify.
XIII. Long Gun Tactical Course: Long gun to be used with rifles/shotguns/and duty handguns.
Course begins with narrative – You are going on a search and arrest warrant at a residence. There
are multiple suspects known to possess firearms with non-combatant friends and family in the
area. There are several agencies involved and you are several cars back in this rural area raid.
Load your weapons appropriately.
Course begins at 60 yards where your vehicle is parked. You will draw one of 4 numbers.
Number 1 – You exit the vehicle and at the 50 yard line take a shooting position and engage two
head size metal targets with non-combatants in the area. After scoring a hit on each you move to
the building/wall and engage all shoot targets.
Number 2 – You exit the vehicle and proceed to the 35 yard line, take a shooting position and
engage two head size metal targets with non combatants in the area. After scoring a hit on each
target you move the building/wall and engage all shoot targets.
Number 3 – You exit the vehicle and proceed to the 18 yard line and engage the two head size
metal targets with non-combatants in the area. After scoring hits on each you move to the
building/wall and engage all shoot targets.
Number 4 – You exit the vehicle and proceed to the building/wall where you 10 yards from
head size targets, engage them, and enter engaging all shoot targets.
If you run out of ammo with your long gun you must either reload or proceed using your duty
handgun. You must engage all shoot targets successfully, and can not strike any non-combatants.
There is no time limit but you will be timed and compared to other shooters.
