Ruger american rifle uses the same as the 10/22 correct? In which case: 4 10-round magazines. A full AQT target is 40 rounds.
So far as time, the way Harvard runs it you do the whole target in 4 minutes. Thats 20 shots prone, 10 kneeling/sitting and 10 standing. For me, if I got really crunched for time I probably ended up doing the last 10 rounds standing in about 20-30 seconds.
Be aware also, the target size is related to position for the AQT..
Prone positon targets are smallest as they simulate 300yd and 400yd targets respectively. Both represent 20" targets at those distances .. and are roughly 1.75" and 1.25" respectively
Sitting position targets simulate a 20" target at 200yd ..thats at 2.5" target.
Standing positoin targets simulate a 20 in target at 100 yds...thats about a 5" target..
Most folks have little trouble hitting the standing targets consistently.. even when attempting their best impression of firing a belt-fed when they get into the time crunch.
Add time constraints and things start to get interesting.
Time constraints add artificial stress.. which helps to show what you DONT know..
Like any sport, repetition helps to develop speed..
Do anyting enough times and you WILL learn how to do it
better and faster..
Like I said .. you WILL learn your equipment..
I have yet to meet a shooter who has completed a weekend long Appleseed who said
it wasn't worth the time, or the experience.. There MAY be some, but I have yet to meet one.
At the end of the Harvard 8/2- 8/3 event, I made it a point of asking every shooter if they
felt it was worth the experience..All were sun-burnt, or wind-burn and tired. Some had sore muscles..
Some missed qualifying by only a few more solid hits on their targets.. but ALL said that
they were definitely glad that they came.. Why, because each one improved their ability..
some only by a little..one by a HUGE amount..and that wasn't the one who shot the 239..
We knew that she was an awesome shooter when she started..and we helped her improve in a couple of areas..
time management mostly.. but even she had a great time.
