Email sent. Hoping to make it out there but will let you know if I have to cancel.

 

[Ritten]

I can furnish a rifle in .308 for anyone wanting to learn. You'll just need to bring your own ammo.

Looks like my .308's are all spoken for now! This is going to be a great class!!

Well I just asked permission from the boss and apparently we're going to take my son to the Circus saturday as part of a function with my wife's firm, so I'm out.

I'm sure we'll be doing another in the future.

Awesome! Weather looks to be good (not raining) and we should have a good turnout. I plan to get some pictures and Ritten and I do a writeup for the LSA Quaterly magazine.

 

[RyanW]

If there's a rifle I can borrow, I just found out I can go!!!! Apparently our seats weren't that great, so we aren't going to take the 1yr old to the nose bleed section.

 

[RStewart]

I'll check around for ya.

 

[RyanW]

Excellent!

How many rounds are we expected to use? I'm not going to buy 100rds for a rifle I don't own if we only plan to use around 30

Just sent my registration a few minutes ago as well!!

40 should be fine.

I really wanted to do some long range work with my AR and ACOG, but it does not meet minimum qualifications.

If anyone would be interested in loaning/renting a rifle, please PM me. I'm lacking a suitable scope but would love to make the class if there is still room.
Thanks
Jim

Thanks to everyone for putting on a fine introduction to 600 yard shooting. Special thanks to Lanny, Rick, Ted and Peter for generously sharing your knowledge and equipment. The pit discussion was very informative as well. The entire event was well presented and smoothly run.
Rifle marksmanship is an essential part of American culture and every man (and woman who so is inclined) needs to develop this skill. To anyone thinking of attending future instructional opportunities with these guys, do not hesitate!
Best regards,
Hickman Family

Wow! We had 22 shooters attend the clinic today and we had as much fun putting it on as hopefully they had attending it. Several folks found out they can indeed shoot 600 yards. If you attended and have an opinion on the class, please let us know.
thanks to everyone who came out.
Here are a couple of pictures.

Shooters on the line (the other 11 are in the pits)-
