This is a team "hike-and-shoot" rifle match for long-range rifle, semi-auto "carbine," and pistols. It will test
a 2-man team's ability to locate, range, and engage practical targetry spread in
the terrain using both weapons systems. Some of the skills involved
include target recognition, ranging, wind doping, ballistic data
management, marksmanship under field conditions, non-standard shooting
positions, rudimentary trail skills. You can think of the Team Safari as a Team version of
the Steel Safari
This match is much easier physically than the TBTC and
is more on-par with the Steel Safari.
