Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key rules for the Jungle Ambush stage?

The Jungle Ambush stage requires engaging paper targets while moving and then neutralizing a steel target with two hits. Reloads are only permitted when the rifle is empty, and transitioning to a pistol is allowed if the rifle runs dry.

What is height over bore and why is it important in this stage?

Height over bore refers to the distance between the firearm's barrel and the optic's sight line. In close-quarters stages like the Jungle Ambush, failing to account for it can cause shots to hit low, especially with red dot sights, leading to misses on paper targets.

When can a shooter reload their rifle during the Jungle Ambush stage?

Reloading the rifle is strictly limited to when the rifle runs dry. Proactive reloads before the rifle is empty are not allowed and will result in penalties. This rule encourages efficient magazine management and tactical decision-making.

Is a pistol required for the Jungle Ambush stage?

A pistol is optional for the Jungle Ambush stage. Shooters may choose to load and holster a pistol if they anticipate needing it, particularly if their rifle runs dry and they decide to transition to their sidearm to finish the stage.
