Come on out and join us for our new longrange shooter orientation on Sunday June 27th.
If you want to try out longrange shooting, this is the shoot you need to go to.
We will start out with a clinic on proper position behind the gun, eye relief and natural point of aim as well as how to manage your data and your gear at a match.
Then we will check your zero at 100yds and get the knobs set to zero.
From there we will work all the way out to 1000yds.
Experienced club members will be on hand to help new shooters.
We will limit this to 10 actual shooters so that those shooters can get maximum range time.
Cold water, Gatorades, BBQ lunch and all the fixins will be provided as part of the $40 entry fee for the day.

We meet-up at a park-and-ride in Newhall and carpool out to the range.
The address is 23628 Newhall Ave.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 16&iwloc=A
Please note that Newhall Ave used to be called San Fernando Road.
Outdated online mapping and in-car navigation systems still show San Fernando Road, but the sign on the freeway now says Newhall Ave.
There are multiple park-and-rides on Newhall Ave so make sure you arrive at the correct one which is just over 1/2 a mile west of the 14fwy on the north side of the street.

If you plan to attend and you are coming from the south, please arrive at the Newhall park & ride between 7:30am and 7:45am on the morning of the shoot.
We will work out the carpool situation at that time.
We roll out as a caravan at 8:00 sharp and don't wait for late people.
It's about an hour's drive to the shooting location.

Trucks and SUV's are preferred for navigating the 1000yds or so of dirt roads once we arrive at the shooting location.
In the past, passenger cars have made it up the road, but many people are not comfortable on the dirt roads in a car due to the conditions of the dirt roads.
In this case, cars can park just off the asphalt and we will shuttle you up to the shooting position as required.

If you live north of the greater LA area, please PM me for directions on where to meet up with us on the way to the shooting spot.
We should be arriving at the shooting spot right around 9am.

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, laser rangefinder, food & water for 6 hours, backpack or bag to carry everything.
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.
Please have your rifle zeroed at 100yds and your knobs set to zero.
If you need help with this, we can do it at the shoot, but it takes time that is better spent putting rounds on targets much further away than 100yds.

Due to the tight space on the line, this will be a bolt action rifle ONLY event.


A view of the targets from the firing line:


We will be out in the high desert so dress accordingly including a hat and hiking boots as we will sometimes be moving around on steep terrain.
Weather should be somewhere between 30 and 110 degrees.

Some cell phones will work at the shooting spot and we have had 3g service in the past.

Please RSVP in this thread by the Friday 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.

The following people are on the schedule as shooters:
khw9mm
smapd
Veritas
gunsmithcats
linkpimp
DJDace
sbmunshi
Shamrock
jawcn
Iloveguns
bozochu
Bajaracer

The following people will coach and run the line:
AR15barrels
rksimple
DirtRacer151
Gnzrme
ColdSteel

Non-shooters are welcome of course and you will still learn a bunch even if you are not shooting.
When you RSVP, please make a note to whether you need a ride or if you can give someone a ride that does not have a truck or SUV to make it up the dirt roads.

I'll definitely be there this time. As always, thanks Randall and Ryan for putting this together!!

I'll be there!

Hey guys, just came over from calguns.
I'm definitely in (short of a family emergency).
SMAPD, may I carpool with you? Im in North Irvine and can meet at you're place at the asscrack of dawn if necessary.

Thanks

yeah, that leaves me with 2 spots left in the truck, 3 if people feel like getting friendly

Can't make this one.

I'm in....With as bad as I did today, maybe I should start over.....

I’m In.. I’ve got a suburban if anyone wants to carpol?. I’m coming from Orange County..

Thanks..

I'll be there. I need the trigger time and a lot of help building a foundation of solid fundamentals. Practice, Practice, Practice while burying money in the backyard to buy reloading gear and rifle improvements.

Gnzrme wrote:I'm in....With as bad as I did today, maybe I should start over.....

I'll put you to work on the line, but I'm reserving the shooting spots to 12 new guys with almost no longrange experience.
After the newbs are done at 1000yds, everyone can shoot as much as they want.

No problem...But if they end up shooting 2" high and to the right, don't blame me... ;) JK, I will be happy to help out in anyway....

Im going to be at a Trade Show from the 27th till the 1st.

Charlie. Which one are you working?

Is anyone coming from the Palmdale area? I need a favor if possible.

I bought some gunpowder from Bill (Timberwolf) and of course we can't ship it, so if you could pick it up from Bill there in Palmdale and bring it up to "The Spot" on the 27th, I sure would appreciate it.

Are you going to come out and help coach the newbs?
It's looking like we will be able to put on a decent BBQ for the day of the shoot.

I'll be glad to help out.

I'll be there. Maybe I can also pass off my bolt to you Randall for a new knob.
Looking forward to it.

Family stuff just came up. I'm out.

Guys, i won't be able to make it up Saturday night but i will still be there Sunday. I'm planning on shooting after the shoot is over just in case any one wants to load up a few extra and hang out a little longer.

James, I will probably be sticking around a little longer...(depends on how many people I have in my truck) so I will shoot with you...I have some IMR 4895 and VV140 loads that I want to try out....

Sounds good Steven. I'll see you sunday!

I need help organizing a BBQ for sunday.
We can afford to have steaks and all the fixins for both the attendees and the line help.
I'm going to be in NY through friday night.
I need someone to make a list of everything we should plan to get and then to gather it all up.
I can re-inburse you on sunday, just save the reciepts.
Who's game?

I can help.. what are we needing besides Steaks, A1, paper plates, eating utensils, and S&P?

Whos bringing a BBQ?

How many steaks?

Good steaks don't need A1!
I'm not a good food planner, I just like to eat it...

Figure on 12 steaks, then some chicken and some brats.
Potato salad, baked beans and corn if you can find it in the husks.
A pot and a ladle for baked beans
Maybe someone can whip up a bunch of cornbread saturday night so we can just wrap in aluminum foil and warm on the BBQ.
Paper towels, butter for the corn
Gatorade, water and maybe some sodas
a good sized cooler and 2 big bags of ice

We should plan on 2 BBQ's.
Ryan has a small one, but a bigger gas grill would help too.
One of the line helpers will probably spend half half the time prepping and cooking lunch.

We have two 10x10 ez-ups but two more would be good so we can use three on the line and one for the cooking area.

I have a full-sized Weber I can bring. I have charcoal as well. I'm not a very good food planner either. And I'm going to be out of town till late Saturday night.

I'll be busy all day saturday but i'll just go get the stuff friday night

I'd like to go if you guys will allow me. It's time I break in my 700.

Ok, just twisted the Wife's arm into making potato salad...Will pick up a 10# bag of potato's and now I need to know if you guys like miracle whip or best foods for the mayo?

James, since you're busy Saturday, I can grab the ice bags and drinks (Gatorade, water, sodas, beers...oops, I'll skip that one) I'll just dump everything in my cooler the night before and we'll be gtg. Just let me know.

Great. I'll be there.
