Encore........You will be on a 4 man squad. As 45-70 stated, there will be 2 shooters and one scorer. One man in the pits. Everybody takes their turn in the pits. The 2 shooters will be "pair firing" with a 1 hour time limit. You shoot then get up to reload while shooter #2 gets in position and shoots. he gets up to reload and you get in position and shoot etc. etc. Neither of you should take up more than 30 minutes of the hour for your sighter shots and 10 shots for score. When 60 minutes are up, the relay is over. Then, depending on the "pit schedule", you will either remain on the line and spot/score, or head for the pits to pull targets.
All 4 people on your squad fire at your assigned target which will be identified with a big number. As you can see from the picture, targets are side by side......each squad on a different target.
Where I shoot, there are 2 different discs used for scoring. Both are 6 inches in diameter. The "shot marking disc" is inserted in the bullet hole in the target. Ours are black on one side and white on the other. The black side goes on the white area of the target, the white side goes in the black area of the target. This makes the shot location visible to the shooter and spotter. The other disc is a "scoring disc". Ours are either red or fluorescent orange. The target will have places to put the scoring disc to let the shooter and scorer the value of the shot.
The pit person will hear a shot hit the target. He will then pull the target down and locate the bullet hole. He then inserts the shot marking disc in the bullet hole and places the shot scoring disc in the correct place to mark the value of the shot. He then runs the target back up. The next shooter fires. The target puller pulls the target down. He pulls the shot marking disc out of the last shot fired and uses a paster to cover up the old bullet hole. He then inserts the shot marking disc in the new bullet hole and places the shot scoring disc in the correct place on the target to mark the value of the shot. He the pulls the target up and awaits the next shot. Repeat. Repeat. It takes longer to read this than it does to do it. There may be slight variations at this match and I'm sure 45-70 will correct me if needed. I have only fired on the standard NRA LR target and not the ones with the square bullseye.
When the one hour relay is up you MAY spend another hour in the pits pulling targets or go back to the firing line to score or shoot.
Bring snacks, drinks, and rain gear if necessary.
Hope this helps X
