[QUOTE="Toddxusmc, post: 2033924, member: 108726"] Interesting read. These “games” really help a shooter know where they are with their skillset ad where to improve . There was a competition in the early 90s called “The Mad Minute”. There were 10 bowling pins @200M that were to be shot open sights(most used AR15)”. Then between 20-50 yds there were 50 more bowling pins, with no shoots mixed in. A pistol along with a shotgun and buckshot were used at the close range pins, the rifleman could help only after he cleared his 10 pins. You started in the standing position, guns on the ground. When the whistle blew, you had one minute to clear all but the no shoots. It was a challenge, a lot of pressure and intense focus not to check how the rest of your team was progressing. It was a lot of fun and you used a bit of ammunition. As a bonus at the end of the day, they brought a car that was headed for salvage and placed it at 200M. I believe it cost $3, but everyone that went in was allowed one 30rd magazine. Almost everyone there took part. Typically you would have about 50 people. When the “fire” command was given, everyone cut loose. It was nothing but dust and parts flying, glass, plastic etc. About the only thing not destroyed were the wheels an tires, those had brick and steel in front of them (as they needed to tow it off the range. Whatever the game or competition, you can bet that any lack of skill you have will become apparent to you. You do the games long enough you overcome shortcomings and become a more proficient shooter.
