When you are in the parking lot just behind the Angeles main rifle line, the Hunters Ed classroom is about 125yds to the left of the left end of the Angeles main rifle line.

As you go up the road to the range and you see the reloading store on the left, turn down that road on the left and it will be the trailer you see on the right... right across from the reloading store... if

We will be running 2 or 3 relays of shooters depending on how everyone fits on the line.

All shooters and line helpers should bring a folding chair as there is no seating on Range D for lunch time or when you are waiting around for your turn on the line.
Also, if anyone has EZ-UP's or other portable shade structures and folding banquet tables, please bring them along...

I should be able to bring a folding table and at least 2 chairs

When you enter the parking lot, head left towards the private ranges, it'll be on the right side of the road if I recall correctly.

edit: whoops, my bad, didn't know there was a 3rd page, posted way late.

How many tables do we need total ?

The more the better, both to prepare/serve food and for people to sit at to eat lunch.
10 tables would not be too many.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to reach him until next week if he is in AZ shooting the big match this weekend.

Don't have any portable pop-up shades.

Leave our rifles in the car or bring them with us to the classroom? Park by the reloading store or is there parking by the classroom?

evo · Post by **evo** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 11:39 am

It's the bungalow at parking level at the far left side of the main rifle line.

Non-member would like to attend as non-shooter for classroom portion and might stay to observe the line.

Deeooo · Post by **Deeooo** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:48 pm

Leave rifles in your car.
We will drive up to the private range as a group at the end of the classroom session.

I will bring an EZ Up & table & a couple of chairs.

Really looking forward to this.

Thanks for the great clinic today, hopefully next year I'll get my application sent in time to participate! Learned a great deal from the classroom discussion and have plenty to work on in the meantime.

To all the CaPRC chefs/instructors/spotters/helpers that were out today, thank you very much a for an awesome day.
The instruction was fantastic and that beef was delicious! See you all at the next.

+1 to the above.

Thanks to all who made this clinic possible. I learned a lot. The food was great, too!

+2 to the above! Thanx to Randall, and the other helpers/instructors for an awesome learning day! Also a big thanx for a delicious lunch/classroom instruction Brad! I gotta get the recipe for the meat and the chicken!!
Did much better on the 3/4" dots (7 out of 10 hits) than the large dots. Go figure!

Brian308 · Post by **Brian308** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:22 pm

Thank you to to Randall and everyone that put on the clinic, it was a great learning experience. Brad's lecture and lunch were great. Thank you to Henry and Evan for helping me get my rifle setup. The adjustments made the rifle much more comfortable to shoot. I am looking forward to the clinic next month.

Glad to see so many of you come out for some instruction, and take so well to it. There's a lot to take in, too much at once gets overwhelming. The time between the clinics is to allow you time to get the rifle to fit perfectly, get any critical gear you need, think about what you learned and build on it, and to practice.

For those of you that got better as the day wore on, good for you! Study the booklet and get some dry firing in, make some adjustments as necessary, and get some practice in before the next session.

For those that feel they could have done better, kudos to you for coming out. Put any negative feelings aside, negative thoughts and feelings are not conducive to improvement. Instead, study the booklet, make some more adjustments, dry fire a bit more, and go get some practice in before the next session.

I hope to see you all at one of the upcoming matches, and at the next clinic!

-Aaron

Thanks for an amazing time.

I am still digesting the info and maybe some of the BBQ from Chef Brad!

Note to self: don't eat too much because lying on full stomach causes indigestion!!

Thanks to the CAPRC crew for putting this on. Everyone was very helpful. I had a great time and got to practice some important things as well.

Oh, and that bbq - hats off to the chef. wow.. still full.

Best day ever! Great food, great people, great shooting and instruction. I appreciate all of you who took the time to volunteer and help us grow as shooters. Special thanks to Bruce for helping me diagnose and then re-zero my loose scope, and to Randall for consistently reminding me of my bad shooting position with his right foot.

By the end of the day I was automatically moving myself into that uncomfortable but so much more effective position. Already looking forward to April 26th. See you all there.

Thanks for putting on the clinic it was very helpful to get back to basics. Looking forward to the B clinic.

nevertipsy · Post by **nevertipsy** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:58 pm

It was great helping out, I'm glad to see so many new shooters interested in learning, always feel free to ask questions! Don't be timid, if you don't ask questions, then get frustrated, you might give up. Don't feel embarrassed, we all had to learn at one point! And many like myself are still learning! Brad, thanks for the awesome BBQ, too bad I missed out on the chicken, sounds like I missed out on a really good speech too!

Lornev · Post by **Lornev** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 5:59 pm

Thanks a million to all who help put the clinic on!! I Learned an incredible amount, and can't wait to get back to learn some more.

Also, I will be upgrading to a chassis system before the next clinic., so If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Fyi, Rem 700

Thanks again!!

One of the best things you can do is come to a match and ask people to get behind there stocks or chassis'. Most people will be more than willing to tell you what they like and don't like about there gear. Remember stocks are like underwear, sun glasses, or shoes, you have to find what's comfortable for you.

Post by **autoessentials** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 12:00 am

Reese is right. The best thing to do is to at least come out to visit a match at this point. Schedule a practice day at Angeles the next match day, and make sure to get there by noon or so at least, so you can catch the tail end of the match to check out some gear. Even better, get there early and just hang out for the whole thing as a helper.

Here's a 20 1" dot target I made.

92E2 · Post by **92E2** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:41 pm

What is the trigger weight range allowed for competition ?

Is there a URL list of rifle requirements that someone can post (weight, calibers, associated equipment, trigger weight, barrel length, mods, etc.) ?

TIA

There are no equipment rules for our matches other than a maximum velocity of 3100fps.

I ordered a ream of 110lb card stock from Amazon, and with prime it was on my doorstep in two days. It was right at $15 delivered.
