WY-SHOT is a combination of a Steel Match and prairie dog shoot (Multiple handgun classes for the pd's).
For day 1 (Short Course) I have posted this years target.
On stage 4 there was a pd target at 731 yards too.
Day 2 (Long Course), the longest target was 988 yards (16" and the pd target). For day 2 we back up at a different landing.
2016 WY-SHOT Shooting Time Formula
With 6 stages/shooting points we will have from 5-9 targets per stage
I have ten 5" square targets, and ten 10" square targets, plus other various sized steel.
Here is the scheme we use to incorporate a time element into the match.
Each shooting position will have 5 to 9 targets downrange.
Our formula is to allow a total time ("par time") for the shooter to set up and engage all targets that is equal to six (6) seconds per 100 yards per target, totaled for all targets from that position, plus 60 seconds of time.
For example, if a target is at 1,000 yards, that will add 60 seconds of shooting time; a target at 500 yards would add 30 seconds of shooting time.
If, for example, a shooting position had four targets at 1,000 yards (240 seconds) and five targets at 500 yards (150 seconds), plus the 60 seconds, that would allow a total of 450 seconds (7 minutes, 30 seconds) for a shooter to engage all targets from that shooting position.
Thus, when a shooter is given the start command for that shooting position, the clock will start, and the last shot must be fired before 450 seconds have elapsed.
Any shots fired (or not fired) after the time ends will count as missed targets.
No other penalty will be assessed for late shots, such as failure to engage.
The shooting time for each shooting position will be rounded up to the nearest half-minute and marked on the score sheets.
If the times seems long, I will give a little perspective. It takes a lot longer to reload a specialty pistol, since it is a single shot, the recoil knocks you off your target in recoil typically, so you have to find it all over again, plus on stage one/day one all of the shots were taken from the sitting/kneeling position using Bog Gear.
Everything else was done from the prone position.
