NISC – FAQ
Are we allowed to take the Colt Trophy home if we win it?
No, the Colt Trophy has been donated to the NISC by Colt Canada and is one of only three in the world. Winning teams will get their name engraved on it and a memorabilia about winning it to take home.
Are the drinks included at the gala dinner?
Included as in “it’s available at the gala dinner”, yes. Included as in “it’s included in the participation fee”, no.
Am I allowed to give a speech at the gala dinner?
Yes, you certainly are! Please state your intention to speech at L-Col Gijs van Eijk and he will make sure that you will get the opportunity.
What’s the dresscode for the gala dinner?
The dress code is mess dress, or any local equivalent. Ceremonial dresses are very welcome because they express the rich tradition of the armed forces they represent.
What can you tell me about the barrage program?
After we have counted all the scores and there appears to be a draw, we will call the cell phone number of the team captain (only once) to meet us with the shooter at the SAT building where we will have a barrage. If one of the team captains can’t be reached and/or the shooter is not present within 15 minutes, the win goes to the other shooter. If both shooters don’t show up, a flip of the coin will decide their fate.
When will lunch be served during the competition?
Lunch will be brought to the shooting ranges, so please make sure that you catch a shuttle bus to the ranges around lunch time.
What happens if the visibility on the ranges is poor due to fog?
We have a bad visibility (fog) program that we can invoke. Before the first team shoots, the necessity of invoking the fog program is evaluated by the range commander. Once invoked, it remains in place for the rest of the teams as well.
How do we know when we have to shoot?
During the registration the team captain will receive a timetable which holds all the teams and the time and location of the exercises.
How do we move around Harskamp in the day of the competition?
Busses will shuttle between the barracks and the ranges to transport the teams. Right after the opening on Saturday morning the busses will start from the square to bring the teams that have to shoot first to the ranges. Afterwards the busses will stop in front of building 128 (SAT) building.
