5@550, 5@700 and 5@900: How long would it take?

[ReligiousShooter]

Hopefully some of you guys have been training and can tell me how long this would take you (in terms of seconds).

The start position is prone behind one rifle. The beeper goes off and you transition to your bolt gun. The bolt gun is right beside you. The bolt gun is empty and you have ten round magazines.

So you load the bolt gun and engage a target at 550 yards. 1/2 IPSC sized target. You can get credit for five hits. Unlimited rounds.

You then transition to a 700 yard target. Full sized IPSC+. The target transition angle (from the 550 yard to the 750 yard target) is fairly wide. Say lane one in Angeles (near the bathrooms) there is a target directly in front of you and the 750 yard target is where the big pig at 600 yards is. You again can get credit for five hits. Unlimited rounds.

After the 700 yard target there is a 900 yard target. About 2/3 IPSC. You again can get credit for five hits. Unlimited rounds. The angle of the transition is say where the bathroom in Angeles would be. So you go from the 600 yard pig to a target at the same angle as the bathroom.

Since you have only ten rounders, you will have to reload.

How long would this scenario take you?

I don't really have time to see what this would take me. So your educated guess would be helpful.

Thanks.

My best swag:

30 seconds and 5 shots to make the 5 hits on the 2/3 ipsc at 550
30 seconds and 5-6 shots to make the 5 hits on a fullsize ipsc at 700
A minute and 10-12 rounds to make 5 hits on the 1/2 ipsc at 900yds

Bear in mind that Randall is a faster shot than average. I'd probably take 1.5 times the amount of time with the same amount of rounds, or 1.5 times the number of rounds in the same amount of time. (rough guesstimates) Although I'd be more confident going with the extra time and same amount of rounds rather than extra rounds and same amount of time.

Thanks for the ayuda.

I was able to test it out on a 350 yard target before I went to the match. Moving from behind my AR to my bolt gun I was able to put five shots on the 350 yard target in about 20-25 seconds. So 30 seconds give or take is a good estimate for the scenario for 550-700 yard targets.

Unfortunately they changed the stage a little bit. The precision rifle portion was now at the end of the stage and the rifle wasn't pre staged. You had to unload your pistol, pick up the precision rifle, run up the berm and set-up your rifle to engage the targets.

Knowing the 30 second+ likely time and the fact that I am not in shape and it was at the end of the stage... I opted out and didn't engage the targets (the 15 targets were bonus targets).

But one of my shooting buds went ahead and did it...
