Rec Fire - Range 4, 100, 300 , 600 yard Day. Report to Range safety officers as soon as you enter the range for other instructions. We may have changes, Marines have a marathon crossing Range 4....we may have a delay so be flexible and we'll have a great shooting day. KD Target Frame: New Change. Available to members on the range now. Just come to pits and RSO will issue you a target frame to use.
Questions on shooting plan as detailed below ?? : call Skip at 703 987 7520.
Range Opens: This is a shorter than normal range day, pay attention to these instructions please: Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0815. Gate closes 0845. Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 100 yard line at 0850. We will go Hot immediately following. 0900 to1000 (max), we confirm zero at 100 yds, 1000 we move to 300 yd line, 1100 we move to 600 yd line. We will close range at 1230 hours. If you have a 100 yd zero , we can get you grouped at 300 and 600 yds easily if your rifle and ammo is correct. Call Skip if you have questions on this.
Course of Fire: This is a 100, 300, 600 yard shooting day only. Range 3 may be occupied and Marine Marathon delays......be flexible & expect delays as we coordinate firing with their shooting schedule. We will begin at 100 yard line for zero fire...not stay there for Range 1 type Recreation Firing. We will stay at 100 yd line no more than 1 hour and promptly move to 300 yd line. If your objective is more than zero'ing your rifle at 100 yds, that is a Range 1 or Range 305 activity. Todays shooting is a logical progression to Sundays 1000 yd day. This is an opportunity to get your dope set for 100, 300 and 600 and set conditions for success to move back to 800 /1000 yds. Rg 4 is the 1000 yd range, the long distance range, if shooting distance is not your objective, there are other ranges to satisfy your end state.
Steel & all target frames: Set up time is 0815 to 0845 ONLY . Tear down as time permits and further subject to Range 3 schedule. Don't come expect us to stop the range so you can set up, we come on time so you come on time at 0815 . Big Boy Rules here. Steel Targets set at target points 25-50 only. Steel Targets: have your frame perfected before coming to range.
Shooters: All Shooters come prepared for quick target set up; come late and we will not stop to set up your targets whenever you show up. This is not Range 1. No vehicles on any grass, keep on roads. Targets, hydration and food - bring yours-- none provided. We do have KD frames for you to attach your paper targets...ask RSO in pits for a frame. YOU MUST Wear ear plugs and ear muffs and have eye protection per USMC base regulations.
