Basically this is a rifle marksmanship clinic with American History sprinkled in.
The distance for this shoot is 25 yards. Centerfire rifles are welcome, though most people use a .22. Round count can vary, but figure about 500 to 600 rounds for the weekend.
Any type of rifle is welcome (semi auto, bolt, lever or pump), any type of sighting system is allowed (scope, red dot, iron sites) and any type of feeding system (detachable mag, box mag, tube mag, even single shot rifle). As they say, "Bring what you've got".
You will learn how to shoot from the standing, sitting, and prone positions. The instructors will teach you the six steps of firing the shot, how to use a sling (hasty hasty, hasty and loop) and how to "read" your targets.
You'll be shooting at AQT's (Army Qualifaction Targets). They are ment to be shot at 25 yards and simulate shooting out to 400 yards. If you can do it at 25 yards, than you can do it at 400 yards.
I'd recomend it if you can make it. You'll learn an awful lot.
