Davenport, IA – According to the statement, squads comprise three team members from the same age group, school, and discipline. The competition unfolds in two rounds:
In Round One, participants tackle one pair of targets at each station, shooting from stations 1-7. Then, they receive another pair of targets while shooting in reverse order, starting from station 2, totaling 24 birds.
Round Two mirrors the structure of Round One but adds an extra challenge. Competitors again engage in shooting from stations 1-7, followed by the reverse order, this time culminating at station 1, totaling 26 birds.
An important distinction is the absence of an option target, and a specific protocol is mandated for station four.
Here, competitors must shoot the high house bird first on the outward trajectory and the low house bird first on the return.
