This will be a Sunday shoot for those who cannot attend on Saturdays, all are welcome.

Location: Monadnock Rod & Gun Club

MRGC is sponsoring this event.

When: Sunday, Aug 12th 11:30am to 4:00pm

Fee: 15 bucks cash<--- This means we will have the range to ourselves !
All proceeds go the club and this covers the cost of insurance to protect the club.

This will be a continuing program and will run through the summer and into the fall. Sessions will be offered twice per month on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. Sunday shoots may start later in the afternoon to take advantage of the longer daylight hours. Watch for further announcements.

Future dates are on the MRGC calendar.

I will be gearing this program for the shooter who has attended at least one Appleseed event although this is not a requirement. Novice shooters should PM me before signing up. This program will be for centerfire rifles such as the AR and AK platforms, If you have an SKS/ bolt action or an MBR, feel free to bring it. We will be shooting at full size IDPA targets starting at 100 yards and will back out to 200 yards as the day progresses. Any sights may be used, irons, dot or scope's.

If you wish, you may shoot .22lr and a reduced range target will be provided.

We will begin by confirming zero at 25 meters, targets will be provided.

Note: Comfirming zero is different from sighting in ! If you have just installed new sights (any kind) sighting in will eat up valuable range time. Please have your rifle sighted in or at least nearly so. We'll get you zero'd in short order.

No bipods and please bring a sling !

As of this shoot, after confirming zero we will start doing additional drills, round count can be around 200 rounds for rifle and 200 rounds for handguns.

Bring 200 rounds for BOTH rifle and handgun, minimum.

We will be doing some "Traditional Marksmanship" which means we will be firing in the Standing, Kneeling, Sitting and Prone positions.
We will also cover the BASICS of shooting while moving and be doing some IDPA style drills.

This session's featured drill will have a "Charging" target to test the 21 ft rule.

All this has been cleared with the club so if anyone's interested we can shake things up with different drills.

If you need a centerfire rifle you may use mine, all I ask is you provide your own ammo. Brass cased only !

What to bring:
A tarp / shooting mat or elbow and knee pads (the range is full of rocks and may be muddy)

Centerfire rifle and your daily carry handgun with holster.
Ma residents with restricted LTC's welcome - holster required.

Chest rig or web gear to carry four magazines.

Please bring your magazines unloaded.

Safety glasses, hearing protection. sunscreen, bug repellant, snack, hat and water.

Stapler and staples !

A small note book and pen <--- this will be your range log, use it to record your zero, type of ammo, equipment issues and lessons learned.

If there is enough interest, in the future I can get the range from 4:00PM till dusk and we can run some low light training.

So who's up for something a bit different ?
