The rappel rope may be carried to the top of the tower by any of the five man team. The team members may tie off their rappel lines when they desire, however, no rappelling will take place nor will any ropes be thown over the side until the Snipers have completed their shooting and their weapons are rendered safe. The top of the tower is divided into a rappel deck and the designated shooting positions. Only the Snipers may enter the designated shooting positions. The Snipers will engage one target each.
Successful engagement is defined as striking and knocking down the selected target.
All five team members must descend the tower, via the rappel line, however, only the Assault Team must ring the bell in the bottom window when they descend from the tower. Failure to successfully engage a target will result in a target penalty. Both rifles will be cleared as verified by the Range Official and slung before the Snipers will be permitted to exit the shooting position. Successful engagement requires that each target fall from its stand. Team members may assist one another during the engagement sequence provided this is accomplished from their own shooting box and that any shooter who re-enters their box is fully and completely within that box prior to any weapon handling.
