Geocache Description:


CACHE is NOT at the posted coodrinates.

 

Think you've got what it takes to crack this mystery cache? Well, before you go running off into the wild like an action hero in an 80s movie, you'll need to prove your knowledge of firearms and ammunition.

Your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to answer the multiple-choice questions below. Each question will test your knowledge on calibers, cartridges, and other ballistic brain-teasers. Once you have your answers, march on over to the solution checker to validate your final coordinates. Remember: enter them in all caps with no spaces—because apparently, spaces are for amateurs.

Once you’ve successfully unlocked the coordinates, it’s time to embark on your adventure. Whether you’re trekking through forests or sneaking around urban landscapes, this cache will reward sharp minds and sharper wits.

So, lock, load, and let’s see if you hit the mark—or if you’re just shooting blanks.
