• Stage 3: A combination of an AR-15
maintenance task in limited visibility
conditions with dynamic short-range
shooting.
• Stage 4: A CQB/CWS course where
one can test their target identification
skills under time pressure.
Competition is a great exercise in buil-
ding strategies for navigating shooting
courses and provides invaluable expe-
rience that cannot be gained in any
other way. Within the teams, we exchan-
ge impressions from the stages, poin-
ting out details that could buy us a few
precious seconds or accurate hits on
target. This is exactly how a team sho-
uld work—we learn from the instructors,
but also from each other. Camps are
also an important element of building
the shooting community and practicing
shooting sports responsibly.
Who won? Everyone who participated
in CAMP WELLER 16. Absolutely and
undeniably.
Day 3
– Sport-Tactical
(SportTac)
Competition
At the morning briefing, Matka satisfies
our curiosity. Day three is, after all, a day
of competition—a team rivalry between
the city teams, in a dynamic and bud-
dy-team format. It is the culmination
of two days of training and theoretical
instruction, with stages thematically
related to the topics covered during the
camp. At stake is the Targets Creators
Perpetual Trophy for the best city, and
every shooter in the team contributes
to the result. There is no room for cal-
culation or individualism here—what
matters is that everyone gives their all,
because every single point and ranking
position counts.
• Stage 1: A kayak course starting with
a several-dozen-meter carry, followed
by launching and—in a limited method
(with a restriction on the number of
loaded rounds)—performing shooting
from within and outside the kayak.
• Stage 2: A course incorporating two-
-man teamwork and various shooting
positions with rigorous accuracy criteria.
