6 of the 7 stages will have rifle shots 50yds or less.
Stage 1, the longest shots fired stage, will have rifle shots to 100yds,200yds and 320 yds. The 100 and 200yd shot will be on BC-C steel and the 320yd shots will be on full size IPSC steel targets.
The 100yd and 200yd steel will be shot from a simulated roof peak and the 320yd shots will be fired from a raised platform, 8ft off the ground.
So, that being said, it's step on the gas hard on 90% of the rifle shots as they're pretty close and magnification on those is not an advantage.
Personally, I'm running an 18" intermediate length rifle with a Vortex 1-6x in Tac Ops.
