The packing list is pretty complete.
Like I said, it is a solid basic rifle class. Day 1 is lecture and then basic tasks... marksmship fundimentals, load, unload, firing position, zeroing your rifle, etc. Day 2 is shooting on the move, shooting moving targets, low-light, etc.
You shoot from 7 yards to 275 yards.
Hmmm... tips and tricks...
Stop and get lunch on your way in, there isn't time to get food in town. I stayed in town and stopped at subway on the way in and it worked good to have a sammmich ready to go. If you guys stay at the campground it will be close to the range but make morning logistics difficult for getting food from town - just plan to make your own and you'll be good to go.
You move to several different ranges through out the day so keep your stuff portable. chair, rifle case, ammo can, water... keep everything else in your vehicle and drive from range to range. You'll save yourself tons of time.
Don't forget to do weapons maintenance at night... You'll be busy the whole time, standing on the line with a bolt action AR-15 won't win you any new friends.
Bring a back-up rifle - if your rifle breaks
put it away and grab your back-up... figure out what is wrong with it later. fucking ass holes trying to diagnose their fucked up piece of shit bang sticks on the line.
'more trigger, less talk.'
bring some tape for your fingers. I always get 'colt finger' whenever I go to a rifle class.
The rest is pretty much like a 2 day long practical rifle match.
3+ mags, something to carry the mags in.
Rain gear & sun screen.
A folding camp chair!!! We ran 2 relays and it was nice to sit down and load mags between strings.
that is all I can think of right now... I'll try to remember more.
