The shooter will move between shooting points during the stage. The shooter has the option to sprint, run or walk based upon their individual physical limitations and training objectives. The stage may include the use of carrying items between shooting points to increase the duress of the shooter. The shooter has the option not to include this activity 

The shooter will use various shooting positions during the stage to include standing, kneeling and prone with both pistol and rifle. The shooter has the option to modify these positions based upon their individual physical limitations and training objectives.  The shooter will use free-style, strong hand and weak hand grips for both pistol and rifle.

In most cases the shooter will be transitioning between shooting points with unloaded weapons. On occasion, stages may incorporate moving forward or laterally with loaded weapons. In this case, the weapons are placed on “Safe” – verified by the shooter saying “Safe” and witnessed by the Range Safety Officer (RSO) AND observing the 180 Rule. In the event the shooter fails to move in a safe manner (ie, moving with an unsafe weapon or breaking the 180 Rule), the shooter will be disqualified (DQ’d) will not be allowed to continue the training event. IN NO CASE will a stage require a shooter to move back toward the shooting line with a loaded weapon.
