Nice, new form!

I'm planning to go to an apex class on Sept 26, CQB, office environment. I hope to confirm with my work schedule this week. Anyone care to join this class with me?

Nope, NRA rules changed a few years back. The standard service rifle class now allows 4.5x optics. I believe there is also the 'Any Rifle' class for more X optics.

What you need for a match:

Rifle that meets the requirements, that is zeroed for 100 yards, ear and eye protection
50 rounds plus 10-20 extra for warm up/sighting shots (good quality ammo that shoots well in your rifle)
(2) 20 round mags ( 30s work, but may get in the way of prone shooting)
A shooting mat, or pad to keep your body and elbows off the concrete when prone
A plastic open action flag to keep your gun safe, they usually will sell you one if you don't have it.
A spotting scope on a mini tripod is nice to have, and necessary if you want to be competitive
be ready to shoot standing, sitting(or kneeling), and prone

The serious competitors will have a shooting jacket that aids supporting your rifle in the positions, and a heavy shooting glove.

Also worth noting that you can typically shoot just about anything as long as you make it clear you are shooting "out of competition". Most places will be happy to take your match fees to let you shoot without competing officially.

Why the 100 yard zero? I've been using the 50 for years on my AR's.

They shoot 100 yards. If you want to use a holdover, that's fine.

LATE NOTICE HIKE - Saturday, Nov 14th at Salem Lake. When we get there we'll decide of we're doing the whole lake (approx 7.5 miles) or just a 6 miler. Meet at 2:45pm at the marina at 815 Salem Lake Road Winston-Salem, NC 27107

We will be doing a full day event date TBD. Tentative schedule is 6 mile ruck (3 mile option for any new members) starting at 10:00am. After the ruck we will have lunch (bring your own - depending on location we may not have any cooking areas) and then continue into two blocks of training - intro to land nav, and intro into mountaineering. How in depth we go will depend on getting the proper members there to run the classes. I will post up a seperate thread and try and tag everyone in it. This is a perfect time to reach out to friends outside our normal circle and bring them into the fold!
