CaPRC Marksmanship Clinic "A" - March 29, 2014

[johnlee]

Come on out and join us at Angeles for our new precision rifle shooter orientation on Saturday March 29th.

We will teach how to get behind the gun/scope, attaining proper eye relief, using the features of the scope and natural point of aim.
Then we will check your zero at 100yds and get the knobs set to zero and work on the basics of marksmanship.
The course curriculum was written by a former USMC scout sniper instructor.
This is a beginning precision rifle shooter clinic so we will concentrate on basic marksmanship as it is the basis of all future learning.
This will be shot at 100yds.

Fees are $75 for non members or $50 for club members.
The entry fee covers the classroom session, cold drinks and BBQ lunch.
We will limit this to 24 shooters.

Plan on a full day as the schedule has us shooting until at least 4pm.
You may attend the classroom portion as a non-shooter and then observe the shooting portion of the day for a reduced $25 non-shooter fee.



Tentative schedule as follows:
8:30 Sign-in at hunters education classroom
9:00 Classroom session at hunters education clasroom
11:45 move to the rifle line and safety briefing
12:00 verify, correct and zero knobs at 100yds (10 rds)
12:30 BBQ lunch break
1:00 open shooting time with instruction

Some things to bring:
Precision rifle wearing a scope with target knobs, eye/ear protection, sunscreen, chamber flag, 80 rounds of match quality ammo, shooting mat or blanket, bipod, some kind of rear bag or sand sock, small notepad and a pencil or pen to take notes.
Bring what you have, don't worry too much about what you don't have.
We always make do with what we have.

This is a Precision Rifle event so if the gun/scope/ammo is not capable of shooting tight groups, it will detract from your overall experience at the shoot.
If possible, please have your rifle zeroed at 100yds and your knobs set to zero.
We will verify a correct zero at the shoot, but it takes time that is better spent putting rounds on targets.

RSVP's for CaPRC club members will be accepted after 12 noon on Friday 3/7/14.
RSVP's for non club members will be accepted after 12 noon on Friday 3/14/14.

Here is your 9 month warning:
We will have another set of clinics next year around the same times.
Gather your stuff between now and then and plan to have some free sundays...

These clinics are awesome. I've never had personal instruction/coaching and I learned more in one day to improve my shooting than I have in the last 10 years of shooting. Randall, Charlie and crew were generous in sharing their years of knowledge and helpful answering my stupid questions without laughing hysterically. It's worth waiting 9 months for.
