At 10 yards or 30 feet, the target will be very small visually. You will have to shoot 10 total rounds with a mandatory reload. Marksmanship and safety will be essential. You will start out at 3 yards. Both 3 & 7 yards with mandatory reloads. 7 yards is the second phase and again you will shoot 10 rounds with mandatory reload. You must score 80%, 24 of the 30 total shots fired must be in the silhouette portion of the target.
