Preparing to fire at the Nationals.
Teamwork is important.
There are usually four or five events, one event at a distance of 100 yards and three or four at a distance of 50 yards. Regional carbine matches are free to substitute other targets in place of the ones listed above. Other typical targets for the 50 yard events are 12 ounce drink cans or 8 ounce styrofoam cups filled with water. Another typical target for the 100 yard event would be 2 liter bottles filled with colored water. Events are timed, usually five minutes, and rapid fired.
