Join Us at MBMI: Stage 1—100 Yard Standing

The 9th Annual Marty Brown Memorial Invitational™ is set for the weekend of Nov. 1-2, 2025 at Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, IN. This is an informal 3-position rifle match shot at distances of 100 to 400 yards on targets measuring approximately 18×24 inches.

For those who haven’t yet joined us at the Marty Brown Memorial Invitational™, this post is the second of a 4-part series showing each of the 4 stages of the Revere’s Riders Rifle Qualification Test (R3QT) that comprise the course of fire (the first part of the series is Join Us at MBMI: Stage 4—400 Yard Prone). This week we are highlighting Stage 1. This stage is a “slow fire” stage shot standing at 100 yards.

Stage 1—100 Yard Standing

Initially, shooters are put into their “preparation period” where they can establish their position, adjust sights, adjust their sling, dry-fire, etc. (anything except load their rifle). On the “FIRE!” command, shooters have 2:00 minutes to fire 10 rounds at the target. Shooters will often pause after 2-3 shots to relax their stance and rest before returning to their firing stance for another 2-3 shots.

Those that have attended our Basic Rifle course will have practiced this stage but at a reduced distance of 25 yards. To simulate 100 yards, our 25-yard qualification targets have reduced target sizes so the precision required of the rifleman to hit the target is the same as being at 100 yards actual distance. The standing position is much less stable than the prone position that was featured in last week’s installment.

Note here that Hernando shows excellent trigger control. After firing a shot, he “traps” the trigger to the rear before easing it forward for the reset and an audible “click”.
