Stuff we plan to cover:
Trajectory - comeups, battle-sight-zero, when to hold over vs dial, and the impact of sight offset. Verified practical trajectory at ranges from 3 yards to 200 yards.
Sighting options - discuss and demonstrate both the advantages of magnification and fancy reticles for precision shooting, and the ability of iron sights to hit an 8" piece of steel at 250 yards.
Target detection & range estimation - Including practical exercise, count, identify, and range ~20" targets at various ranges from ~25 to ~200 yards.
Supported positions - using what you find to get a little extra stability.
Pushing the limits - post QDAQTs at 100 yards (simulating 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 yards). Engage from supported prone, with ~40 minute time limit.
Care & feeding of the AR pattern rifle - demo & explain the effects of various types and qualities of ammo, and various design choices and the associate mechanical issues, e.g. moving zero caused by sling pressure on the barrel.

Last event, in 2016, went pretty well

Despite what the 2nd link states, there *is* camping on-site.

The forecast for this weekend (it's this weekend!) is partly cloudy, in the 60s, with nights in the 40s. Perfect fall weather, for a perfect location for such things, for the perfect rifle.

Too much? Well, perhaps not *perfect*-perfect, but people *do* have fun, and spots are still available.
 
sounds like a great time. To those that can see a 8" target at 250.....god bless. I can hardly see the 13" black bull of a SR target if it was not surrounded by 36" of white!
