Range 2 - Precision Mid Range Fire (600yd Steel, Birds, Paper / NO KD targets)
We shoot only from the 600 yard line. Read notes carefully, we have specific instructions necessary to make this day successful. You must be standing here at 0700 for briefing ..non negotiable.
Assembly Plan-- Come to Range 2, report to RSO's , be briefed on range occupation plan. This means you are standing here at 0700, get the briefing and we are moving to install targets at 0715. Installing targets will take more time today due to geography. Do not be late, we do not have flexibility on this.
Be prepared for a quick target set up as we intend to have our safety brief at 0750 at the 600yd line and first shots out at about 0800.
Report to the Range Safety Officers as soon as you enter the Range 2 for instructions.
Known Distance (KD) Target Frame are NOT available at the R2 pits. We will shoot steel today, clay birds on bank, and you can install paper targets on a target stand on berm. KD's are not available today for our use.
Please ensure you have an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) available. ECI mandatory on all ranges. Don't have one, go get one at club house at 0800 after 0750 safety briefing.
We may close the range early if the line completes firing or if they run out of ammo. Do NOT assume the ending range time is good and show up late, always best to get here early.
