SCHEDULE

• 0700 – Range opens / setup begins / meet at Gate 7 on Willis Rd
• 0745 – Gate 7 closes / range safety brief on the 1000-yard line.
• 0800 – Live-fire begins at 1000 yards only

Those only shooting 1000 yards, there is no mid morning break.  Expect to tear down targets and depart after 1100 hours.  The dedicated 1000 yard shooting block is 0800 to 1100 hours non stop. 

Those only shooting 200, 300 yards need to be at 1000 yard line no later than 1040 hours to coordinate with RSO's and be ready to move under their direction.  

Weather is a factor and may result in changes to this schedule. Rain, extreme heat, and so on can result in a shortened range day.

If firing a .338 caliber, understand you may be refused if the airspace cannot be cleared. We will only know if it is approved at the time we set up. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber/rifle if possible.
