Range 4 - 700 / 1000yd Rifle Rec Fire

Range 4 - 700yd / 1000yds Rifle Rec Fire

This is a special circumstance day so pay attention to these notes.  We are doing things different so we adjust around US Navy pistol match on Comp Pistol range. 

1000 yd steel must be on firing points 35 to 50. 

0700: Report to Gate 7, Clear pits No Later Than 0745. All shooters assemble at 1000 yd line for safety brief and instructions.

1000 yard shooters: set up steel, KD and birds as usual.  Steel at firing points 35 to 50.   End of day we may have delays getting into pits as USN has a match on going and we need to get them to cease fire.  I am certain we can coordinate this and any delays pulling targets out of 1000 yd line will be minimum but WARNING ..we could get delayed a bit so be flexible.  

700 yard shooters will place targets on 300 yard line. If you simply must clear range at mid day with No Delays,  shoot your steel at 700 yds today.  Targets on 300 yd line are outside surface danger area of pistol ranges so access to targets on 300 yd line is not a issue on Sunday. 

Access to 300 yd line :  As you enter thru Gate 7, there is a parking lot 100 yards down the road on your right. Park there, dismount and move your steel target up the stairs which go thru the wood line and you enter upon (hold the applause) the 300 yd line. Set steel there aligned to firing points 22 to 34.  Make sure your steel is not masking another shooters target on 1000 yard line.  

Important  all shooters are flexible and adapt to conditions as briefed by RSO's at Gate 7 at 0700.  You do not have the luxury of coming later and setting up...plan to be at Gate 7 at 0700.  Snooze Ya Lose.  We will make this a great shooting day but there is no slack in our time available for setting up.  

Admin notes : First time shooters get here at 0645 so you can get instructions and more time to set up.    All shooters may park on high ground behind 1000 yd line.  Leave left side clear for RSO vehicles which must be on the range by regulation. 

Come prepared ,bring your club card, have targets ready for fast set up, bring ear plugs, insect repellant for ticks, water for hydration and sun screen. Dress to the weather conditions.

Due to ammunition shortages we will close at 1300, earlier or later as the ammo runs out!!!   In reality, we shoot until "completion".

  

 Get here early when we open,  you will not set up targets after we close pits.  

Questions:  Call Skip at 703 987 7520.  

New Long Range Shooters:  If you have a solid 100 yd zero, a scope with enough elevation, we can get you onto targets at 1000 yds quickly and you will have a successful day shooting.  You do need match grade ammo.  Surplus or hunting ammo is a waste of time.   18 inch or 16 inch barrel rifles  total bust at 1000 yds, save you ammo and time. 

RSOs:  Booth / Jardines / Anderson / Roark
