I did this clinic this last April, I thought these two were supposed to be follow-ups but it doesn't seem that way now. I have the equipment (well, can you ever have enough equipment?) but haven't shot in anything that would give me the classification. I shot at Braintree's CMP matches last year (not really interested in just shooting 100 yards anymore) and have done a couple NMC matches at Copicut, but nothing that would have been submitted to the NRA for classification.
Rogues ( real name ? )
Please fill out the registration sheet for the clinic @
http://www.nfga.org/highpower/pdfs/2014/2014_M_to_E_advanced_Prone_RIFLE CLINIC.pdf and email to Dave and I and we can talk to see if you can attend.
My email is GSmith223 at comcast dot net. i don't know your real name so make mention you are the guy from this website that is inquiring.
That is correct. The advanced clinics are follow - ups for people that took the initial clinic and/or have been participating in Highpower, have the nessessary gear and are looking to improve their classification.
Sounds like you may be a good candidate for this clinic You will need a suitable rifle and ammo at the bare minimum. Suitable rifle would be an A2 or A4 AR15 with a 1-8 or faster barrel and a free float tube, 69 grain or heavier ammo and a decent web or leather sling.
(not saying you would but if you or anyone were to show up with an M4 with a pc of rope for a sling you will not be allowed to participate)
People in this clinic should not have to be instructed on how to pull and mark targets in the pits.
If you took the clinic in April you should be all set with performing pit duties.

(You would be surprised at how many people with M4's or AK47's want to shoot 600 yards)
Other than the rifle and ammo listed above it is nice to have a shooting jacket and a usable spotting scope. We loan out mats and scopes to people that have bought gear and are participating in matches if we feel they are sincere and serious about progressing in the sport.
As coaches and shooters willing to give away our spare time to help new shooters we are cautious that we only give away our time and energy to people that are serious about progressing.
All that said, please fill out the event form and email it to Dave and I.
Thanks for the interest,
George
