Here is the updated shooting formula for this year's steel shoot. You will have as much time as you want when shooting pd's. :0

With 5 stages/shooting points we will have from 5-8 targets per stage.
I have ten 5" square targets, and ten 10" square targets, plus other various sized steel.


WY-SHOT Shooting Time Formula
Here is the scheme we use to incorporate a time element into the match.
Each shooting position will have 5 to 7 targets downrange.

Our current 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 preparation (setup) 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 of prep time, 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.

Starting position
The shooter can begin from the prone position.
The shooter may begin with eye and ear protection already in place.
The shooter's handgun must be empty of ammunition, action open.
The shooter may pre-set any required extension on the bipod.
The shooter may pre-position any gear at the shooting position.
Upon start signal, the shooter may load and engage appropriate targets downrange.
If there is time left after you have engaged every target one time and you missed a target(s) you can shoot at those missed target or targets until you hit them one time or the time expires.
You can hit a target more than one time, but you only get 1 point for that target.

Late shots. Shots fired after the par time expiration may not score as hits, and any targets not engaged during the par time score as misses.

Clear Specialty Pistol at line.
Upon completion of the firing from a shooting position, the shooter must, with SP muzzle downrange, demonstrate to the Range Officer that the handgun is free of ammunition, both magazine and chamber, and then close the bolt and snap the trigger on an empty chamber.
Detachable magazines must be removed.
