Training Under Physical Stress

[noone]

There was a really interesting cardio/stress exercise at a close quarters rifle match recently. Three targets placed 50 yards down range. There are three barricades, each one having an eight by eight inch port ten inches off the ground. Shooters fire one round (ONLY ONE) through each port at the single target downrange. There is one target for each barricade, move to the next port, fire only one round, and repeat at each port for two minutes. Your score is however many hits you get in the target during that 120 seconds. The first 45-75 seconds aren't too bad...the last minute or so can be a real gasser though.

There simply isn't any denying the lack of cardio in this exercise. The port is too low for kneeling or seated, and too high for prone...it is designed to be awkward as hell, and it works great.
