Range 4 - Precision Rifle 1000 Yards

We shoot only from the 1000 yard line.  We will end shooting at 1044, clear pits NLT 1100. Weather may shorten the day.

The Willis Road Gate 7 (the gate to the target line pits) will open at approximately 0715.  DO NOT ARRIVE LATE. Shooters will need to place targets quickly as we will be coordinating with another unit for access to the pits. Please limit target set up to 10 minutes.  Be prepared for a quick target set up as we intend to have our safety brief at 0745 at the 1000yd line and first shots out at about 0700.  Mid morning we go into pits to mark / repair targets for 10 minutes only.  No...not enough time to put up targets so get here at 0700 like everyone else and set up targets for the day. Did we say get here at 0715?   

Report to the Range Safety Officers as soon as you enter the range for other instructions.  We may have changes so be flexible and we'll have a great shooting day. 

Known Distance (KD) Target Frame are available at the R4 pits. Contact the Pit RSO and they will issue you a frame for use (no target, you still must bring your own).

Please ensure you have an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) available.  If you don't have one, stop by the clubhouse and buy one for $1.00.  Using one aids the RSOs in the identification of firearm status and speeds up the unload and show clear safety process.

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, just  get here early.

Range Opens:  Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0715.  Gate closes 0745.  Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 1000 yard line at 0745.  Upon confirmation that the QSC EMT is present, we will go HOT.   Reminder: Get here Early. 

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 the morning of the event. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber / rifle if possible.  

Steel & All Target Frames: Set up time is 00715-0745.  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 reserved for special targets. Steel Targets set at target points 30-50 only.   Steel Targets:  Have your frame perfected before coming to 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 set up. No vehicles on any grass, keep on roads. Targets, hydration, sun screen, bug spray and food - bring yours-- none provided.  YOU MUST Wear ear plugs and ear muffs and have eye protection per USMC base regulations.
