Shot it standard for a baseline, got 18. Didn't take the last shot in the prone, I had a misfeed in the medley that left me without enough time. 17-18 is probably about right though as an average, though I haven't kept close track.

Started the biathlon, decided to call it after the untimed round. I dressed for being static @ 10F and exercising at 30F was not going well. Took tops off but wasn't committed enough to take my pants off. Based on how it went, I think best case I could get 50% on the timed portion had I continued. I could break OKAY shots (not great) but it took a fair amount more patience to do so.

Nice work. Thanks for trying it.

I’m hoping to do it in the next week. I’ll post my results.

@Carl Ross , you did that with your regular hunting weight rifle? Not that it would matter, but I assume your comp guns are really heavy and wonder if that has any influence on ability with hunting weight gun.

I was thinking I need to try the drill with my 45lb pack, as that's about what it starts at on my annual backpack hunt.

RSS pattern 223.

I’ve never tried the drill with a PRS rig, their balance kinda sucks for things that aren’t PRS but I can still shoot them offhand if pressed. I should try sometime for kicks.

Most of my practice is discipline specific; PRS positions with a PRS gun, NRL positions with an NRL gun, hunting positions with a hunting gun. There’s obviously lots of crossover value, but I usually focus on what I’m about to actually go do.
