CAPRC Marksmanship Clinic A 3-22-15

Post by **AR15barrels** » Mon Jan 05, 2015 10:15 pm

Come on out and join us at Angeles for our new precision rifle shooter orientation on Sunday March 22nd.
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 bolt-action 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 Thursday 3/5/15.
RSVP's for non club members will be accepted after 12 noon on Thursday 3/12/15.
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 have been a paramedic for 24 years, but for just about as long I've been a nerd. I have built websites, done networking and IT support, etc. Pretty much if it's technology I'm in. So 20 years ago when I started to need a username for all of the websites I was joining I decided to combine my two loves

It's proven to be a good choice, as I can only think of a couple times where that username has been taken.

Any ideas on when the B class will be scheduled? I see that last year it was about a month after the A class. I am trying to project forward into April for time off work, etc. Thanks.

I send in my application and check on 2/4/15 and I don't see my check being cashed. Just a bit concerned since the 3/5 registration date is right around the corner. My private messaging feature isn't active yet or I'd PM somebody. Please advise. Thanks.

Need to make 1 post to be able to PM. Now that you have made that post you can PM.

Also your name is green which means you app has been processed but the check may not have been deposited yet.

All applications received by Saturday February 28th have been processed and membership statuses are updated on the forum.
I will pull the mail again on Wednesday so that any last minute applications will be processed before the 5th when the club member RSVP's open up.
All the checks will get deposited this week.

So, hopefully I can get in.

Will there be any other "A" clinics this year or is this it?

I plan to sign up Monday as a non-member, but I have a couple of questions.
1. Will I be able to shoot from the bench? I'd rather not shoot prone.
2. Can I use a front rest instead of a bipod?
3. Can I load single shot instead of using the magazine?
Thx.

The entire clinic is shot prone... We have never had someone ask to shoot it otherwise.... I will not be there so I am not going to say one way or another but, you will be most accurate prone...

If we got your application, your name will turn green and your RSVP will be accepted before the general public.
Rsvp's posted by non club members before the general public RSVP opening will all get deleted before the public RSVP period opens.
