Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "The final range is five hundred yards, rapid fire, using the “D” target, peep sights and your position is prone when the targets come up. The time allowed one minute and twenty seconds.

Well the targets came up. After my first shot I realized my error. I had my sling so damn tight I couldn’t work my bolt unless I took my rifle from my shoulder. The targets stayed up their full minute and twenty seconds, but when they went down I had two shells left and nothing"
