What do you need to do to qualify on the range and pass BCT? I have heard 23/40 targets. Is that correct. Is it just straight on or moving...?
Oh I have so much to learn!!!!

They are still targets. However, different bases may have them popup either from their back to the front. Or from their side to the front. (9 o clock to 12 o clock)

is this timed then?
You will get instruction on the range on what you need to do. Dont get yourself so overwhelmed before you start BCT.

Thank you sir. You are right, I need to relax a little bit! I have a few months...

I can't wait to go to osut for 31b and qualify. With the help of a reservist buddy of mine, I can usually get in the mid 30s and I'm pretty sure I'm shootin correctly. Hardest part is the breathing.

Timed? Technically yes. Each target stays up no longer than 5 seconds maybe. A little longer when 2 of them come up simultaneously. There is no break unless a cease fire would be called. The only downtime is in between each iteration (prone supported, unsupported, kneeling positions) where the assistant instructors (AIs) will give a GO or HOLD signal determining whether the firers in their lanes are ready or not.

Go ahead and pick up a good prone supported firing position
good on the left? right?
Go ahead and lock and load your first 20 round magazine, set you selector switch from safe to semi, and watch.....your......lane
The range is fun, you better get expert

I didn't like them either. Mainly because they felt like typical national guard secondhand leftovers. Batteries dead half the time, the red dot going out after every shot and the never ending confusion as to where you have to hit the target to ZERO it.
