Come on out and join us at Angeles for our new precision rifle shooter orientation on Saturday September 25th.
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.
From there we will take you through gathering dope and shooting targets out to 600yds.
Experienced club members will be on hand to help new shooters.
We will limit this to 12 actual shooters so that those shooters can get maximum range time.
Cold drinks and BBQ will be provided as part of the $30 entry/range fee for the day.
The entry fee covers your use of the range for the rest of the day after the clinic is over too.
Plan on a full day as the schedule has us shooting until at least 2pm.



Tentative schedule as follows:
8:00 signups
8:15 prone position talk and demonstration
9:15 line goes hot. verify, correct and zero knobs at 100yds (5-10 rds)
10:30 data management talk - know where your zero is
11:00 data gathering from 200yds out to 600yds.
12:30 BBQ lunch break
1:00pm finish data gathering to 600yds as needed and shoot precision 100yd targets as time allows.

This shoot is held at Angeles Ranges.
Please show up before 8:00am to get signed in so we can start at 8:15.
We will be all the way to the left on the rifle range.
You can print-out an Angeles waiver and fill it out at home to save time during the sign-in process.

Some things to bring:
Precision rifle wearing a scope with target knobs, eye/ear protection, sunscreen, chamber flag, 60 rounds of match quality ammo, printout from a ballistics program showing your bullet drop in moa or mils as appropriate to your scope, shooting mat or blanket, bipod, some kind of rear bag or sand sock, small notepad to take notes, pencil or pen and food & water for 4-5 hours.
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.

Please RSVP in this thread by the Thursday before the shoot if you plan to attend.
When you RSVP please post something very definite in this thread such as "I will be there".
I will not accept "if...", "I would like" or "I might" responses as an RSVP.

I will definitely be there!

been waiting for this for months - can't wait to meet you guys

Way to man up all you new guys. You are going to have a lot of fun!!! Be ready for the addiction after your done for the day.

I do want to stress the importance of bringing some quality ammo that your rifle really likes. In months past shooters will bring out the cheapest stuff they can find at walmart. You will benefit greatly in spending the extra money on better ammo. If you don't have any then just ask and we will try to help you find some. So of us have some extra factory stuff we could sell you as well.

I have 9 boxes of federal gold medal match 308 ammo available at $25 per box to anyone shooting the clinic that needs it.

How many rounds am I going to need?

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to this clinic. And I also don't have my rifle yet.
I guess I was looking at an old calendar when I thought the next clinic was in October.

Do you think possibly because of the high response that you guys might hold another new shooter clinic next month in October. I know I would definitely be in, and have a buddy that would come with me as well.
