I Live in San Diego, Where does the Caravan Meet up? How far from there? What GENERAL area is the site located?

Draining squares and banging steel

I'm somewhat of a newbie here and have a few questions.
1) isn't there some sort of law against discharging firearms on public property?
2) Would I need a hunting liscence or some other kind of liscence to have loaded firearms on public land?
3) is shooting at this location 100% clear cut legal and if so can you point in the direction of any relevant laws pertaining to shooting on public land?
4) at angeles range I'm able to hit 3 to 5" in groups at 100 yards with turkish nato ammo. I installed the scope myself and I could use some help getting it zeroed. (the gun is more accurate than i am) I can also hit the targets at 600 yards most of the time at angeles range. Should I come to course fire A or course fire B?

I hate to be a sceptic, but I try to be careful.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks that was very helpful. Will someone be willing during course fire C to help me zero my rifle better than i have been able to?

Remington 700 pss .308 win with harris bipod, tally rings, and 4.5-14x50 zeiss conquest with the rapid z 1000 ballistic reticle

i kinda installed the scope myself with a bubble level to the best of my ability, But i look forward to having someone check it who is more accurate than i am. I'm hitting the targets though.

New shoot descriptions and schedule including 2011 shoot dates is posted in the first post.

I agree it makes more sense for the club. I just love banging steel at the spot. Its always just a fun relaxing day to look forward to. Oh well.... i might have to make a solo trip soon to get my fix.

Btw, love the blue gun idea!!

Maybe I missed it in the original post, but around what times do the meet-ups start and end? I'd like to try and make it out to Sac Valley this weekend, if I can, to see what it's like to shoot past 100 yards with my new R700.

im a new and want to learn precision shooting i have a rem 700 sps tac in .223. my question is, is that worth coming with or should i wait intil i get a .308? i shoot at angeles range 2 or 3 times a week but need some sort of real practice where i could learn a thing or two.

I posted this question on thread about practice last weekend but I think it should have been posted here. I am new to rifle shooting and would really like to get training to zero out my rifle, etc. It appears if everyone is shooting larger calibers (.308) whereas I have a .223. Would that be an issue? Also would I need a real scope or is something similar to an ACOG okay? Thanks again

I am excited to have found this. Come Jan 2011, I will be ready to start off with course "A." I might even be able to convince my wife to give it a shot.... [no pun intended]

I'm looking forward to the "A" course as well in Jan.

Please sign me up for the Nov 27 Course "C" . Dont want to miss out on it. The shoots seem to fill up quick, so Im just getting a jump on it. Thanks.

I will be starting on a build shortly but was wondering if it's not complete could I come and check things out as a spectator on Jan 23rd?

If it helps I have a Remington 700 and drive a chevy lol no glock yet though

All jokes aside...Thank you for putting me on stand by, I appreciate it.

I'm hoping to make it out to Course A in January. I'm getting my rifle together so hopefully I can get a good load worked up before them.

Looking forward to meeting up in LA/SB counties!

Is there any advantage to shooting prone with a big belly?

Ahh with the 700 yard thing, yea that was good!

I have a new 700 sps tac aac sd comin on the 19th. Never been to the A course. I went the cheap route on my scope and mounts just to get something on there so I could shoot. Leupold rifleman 2 piece base and med rings. BSA 6-24x40 with mil dot reticle. Hopefully I'll have enough saved up for a better optic before January... I have been to burrow alot shooting 100 and 200 with a 100 yard zero and some holdover @ 200 on 3x. Haven't shot past 200. I used to shoot a savage 111 in 30.06. I sold it to force myself to buy a 700. Sign me up for the "A course" please. Are shooting bags allowed? Should I get a bipod instead?

I already reload. Now I just need a neck sizing die for .308 since this caliber was only for my semi before. So you think I should be able to get out to 600 with that cheap scope? I have alot of RL-15 but I only have 155 grain A-Max. I was reading that alot of people like 168+ for longer range shooting. I don't have alot of money for optics. I was looking into the Leupold rifleman 3-9X40 mostly because of the price. Is there anything else that even comes close to this price/quality? http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/store ... erralID=NA

K_labs, check out this scope instead, Bushnell 3200 10x mil/mil scope. Its only $20 more and has more features that are better suited for LR shooting and its clearer/brighter too, ime.

From what I've been reading the Fixed power is going to be better than the variable power especially for a noob like myself. Thanks for the heads up Ironhiide.

i am looking fwd to makeing a few of the shoots having just found this forum.
i will only be able to make the sat. shoots though.

I am a new shooter to the sport with a 700P, I would like to become a member and take the Course of Fire "A" class on Jan 23. Your web page is fantastic! How do I sign up for the class? If everyone is as friendly and knowledgeable as Ben, I am in!

Welcome, Randell will post a thread about the train ups usually a week before to sign up as it is first come first serve. Stick around and soak up some knowledge and come out to the match and just hang out and meet a bunch of great guys.
