CAPRC Marksmanship Clinic A 3-29-14

Post by **AR15barrels** » Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:54 am

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.
RSVP by posting "I will be there" in this thread to get on the shooters list.
Any shooter RSVP's posted before those times will be ignored or deleted.

We are also looking for experienced club members to show up and help instruct.
If you are able to help on the line, please RSVP anytime.

I think we have a loaner rifle. You just need to buy ammo

pklin1297 wrote:That would be great. Let's see if I can get into the clinic first. I reload so if a working recipe for that rifle is available I can always reload. That is unless factory ammo is preferred for the loaner; either way is fine.

Factory ammo only in the loaner.
Specifically, the ammo should be 175gr Federal Gold Medal Match.

Any chance we will have a chronograph available on the clinic day?

Post by **Capnjon** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 6:49 pm

I was wondering if a chrono would be available myself.

Just use your ballistic App.

A chrono is not needed for Clinic A.

This clinic focuses on the fundamentals and will be shot @ 100 Yards

A chrono may have some use in Clinic B as we continue to work on the fundamentals and gather dope from 200 to 600 Yards. However we have approximate dope for the .308 the 6.5 and the 6mm bullets that can be used as a starting point for this clinic.

Its always best to get hard dope and input that into your ballistics software and have the software calculate your speed.

Thank you Henry and Keith for the info, my bad got mixed up.

Which ballistic software do you guys recommend I download onto my android? Thanks.

Ballistic AE and Shooter are probably the top ballistic apps.
They don't have Ballistic for Android so you are left with Shooter.

xMAC1x · Post by **xMAC1x** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 5:25 pm

Looking at the ballistic app's it looks like there is two for android.
Shooter. $9.99
Applied ballistic. $29.99
What's the best option? For .308.

Short Action Precision · Thu Mar 13, 2014 5:41 pm

Im a fan of shooter.

DirtRacer151 · Post by **DirtRacer151** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:37 pm

Applied ballistics IS shooter. It's the same thing with like 2-3 extra features and a much bigger price tag. Get shooter!

Hi CAPRC,

I will be attending this clinic as a non member. I look forward to learning the skills.

Where and when do I pay the $75 dollars and to whom?

Thanks,
