This Saturday will opportunity to gather data and practice if you plan on shooting at the 1,000y line on Sunday.
Gate 7 will be open at 7:15a for initial target set up and close promptly at 7:45a.
Meet at the 100y line at 7:50a for the safety briefing, then once the EMT’s presence is confirmed we’ll got hot.
We’ll allow at least 1hr for zeroing and shooting at 100y. Plan is to then move to 600y but if the majority wants we can shoot 1-2hr at an intermediate distance.
DUE TO THE CURRENT GROUND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT PARK OR DRIVE ON THE UNPAVED AREAS (DIRT ROAD/GRASS)
When setting up targets at the pits - do not park on the curve leading into the pits or in the area immediately adjacent the container where the Range 4 equipment is kept.
Shooters are advised that the concrete area near the targets has a tendency to ice up this time of year. A fall from that height down to the pit poses significant risk of injury. As such, shooters should walk on the grassy area in order to minimize risks of injury.
Targets:
Steel is allowed on Range 4 but only from 200y+. Steel CAN NOT be shot from the 100y line. Additionally, steel shooting with .300WM and up is limited to 300y+. We ask that steel is kept between points 25-50.
Paper targets can be set up on the berm or you can use a KD frame in the carriers in the pits.
Clay pigeons can be placed on the impact berm. NO STEEL TARGETS ON THE IMPACT BERM.
Parking and Driving:
The dirt road and grass areas are saturated this time of year.
DO NOT drive or park on the grass when setting up targets on the berm.
For the 100y line park ONLY IN THE CONCRETE LOT JUST EAST OF THE 200y LINE OR ON THE ROAD. NO VEHICLES ON THE GRASS OR DIRT ROAD.
For the 600y line park in the lot to the west of the 600y line.
Target repair and take-down:
Initial set up is noted above
Take-down/End of training is at approximately 13:00 noon.
We’ll have periodic ~10min cease fires to check and repair targets.
