Range Opening: Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0715. The gate closes at 0745. Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 1000-yard line at 0800. Upon confirmation that the QSC EMT is present, we will go HOT. Reminder: Get here Early. There will likely be a brief cease-fire, no more than 20 minutes, around 0945. This will be the only opportunity for new shooters who are prepared and can set their target up in this time frame to participate. It is strongly suggested that anyone wishing to take this opportunity be on location and ready to go no later than 0930. Weather is a factor and may result in changes to this schedule. This is the RSO cadre's call. Rain, extreme heat, and so on can result in a shortened range day.
Course of Fire: This is a 1000-yard shooting day only. If firing a 338 caliber, understand you may be refused if the airspace or distance X (6400yds) cannot be cleared. We ONLY know if 338 calibers can be approved on the morning of the event. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber/rifle if possible.
Steel & All Target Frames: Set up time is 0715-0745. UPON ARRIVAL SEE AN RSO FOR GUIDANCE AS TO WHERE TO SET UP. GATE 7 WILL CLOSE AT 0745. Don't come mid-morning and expect us to stop the range so you can set up, we come on time so you come on time. Big Boy Rules here. Lanes 20-29 are reserved for special targets and RSOs who spot for those challenges. Steel Targets are set at target points 30-50 only. Steel Targets: Have your frame perfected before coming to the range. You do not have time to fool around and build the Taj Mahal, have your steel target sorted out for quick install / take down. Don't be that guy...come ready.
Shooters: All Shooters come prepared for quick target setup. No vehicles on any grass, keep on the roads. Targets, hydration, sunscreen, bug spray, and food - bring yours-- none provided. YOU MUST wear hearing protection and have eye protection per USMC base regulations.
