FLIR COMPETITION AT OWNING THE NIGHT – NOVEMBER 10TH
Competition Format
* Teams will consist of 2 Personnel.
* Each team member is to fire 6 rounds each. The first 2 rounds each will not count as they are ‘practice rounds’.

* Each shot is to be fired with the team member in the prone position (laying down).
* While one team member shoots, the other lays alongside with a RECON (on small tripod – need to acquire). He acts as a spotter/guide.
