We meet-up at a park-and-ride in Newhall and carpool out to the range.

Please note that San Fernando Road has become Newhall Ave.
Online mapping and in-car navigation systems still show San Fernando Road, but the sign on the freeway now says Newhall Ave.
If you plan to attend and you are coming from the south, please arrive at the Newhall park & ride between 7:30am and 7:45am on the morning of the shoot.
We will work out the carpool situation at that time.
We roll out as a caravan at 8:00 sharp and don't wait for late people.
It's about an hour's drive to the shooting location.
Trucks and SUV's are preferred for navigating the 1000yds or so of dirt roads once we arrive at the shooting location.
In the past, passenger cars have made it up the road, but many people are not comfortable on the dirt roads in a car due to the conditions of the dirt roads.
In this case, cars can park just off the asphalt and we will shuttle you up to the shooting position as required.
If you live north of the greater LA area, please PM me for directions to the shooting spot.
We should be arriving at the shooting spot right around 9am.
Some things to bring:
Precision bolt action rifle wearing a scope with target knobs, eye/ear protection, chamber flag, 50 rounds of match quality ammo, shooting mat or blanket, bipod, rear bag or a sock full of rice, 3x5 notepad to make notes, pencil or pen, laser rangefinder, food & water for 6 hours, backpack or bag to carry everything.
Bring what you have, don't worry too much about what you don't have.
We always make do with what we have.
This is a <span style="font-weight: bold">Precision Rifle</span> event so if the gun/scope/ammo is not capable of shooting tight groups, it will detract from your overall experience at the shoot.
Semi-autos are welcome as long as they have brass catchers or the shooter employs some other method to eliminate hot flying brass.
A view of the targets from the firing line:
We will be out in the high desert so dress accordingly including a hat and hiking boots as we will sometimes be moving around on steep terrain.
Weather should be somewhere between 30 and 90 degrees.
Some cell phones will work at the shooting spot and we have had 3g service in the past.
Please RSVP in this thread by friday June 26th if you plan to attend.
We need to get an accurate head count of how many to expect.
We only have room for about 10 shooters on the line so we will probably start capping attendence at 10 shooters.
Non-shooters are welcome of course and you will still learn a bunch even if you are not shooting.
When you RSVP, please make a note to wether you need a ride or if you can give someone a ride that does not have a truck or SUV to make it up the dirt roads.
A nominal $10 donation to the club helps offset the cost of targets and supplies.
This is one of the last times to tune-up for the SCPRC match.
We will most likely do some positional and side prone shooting so bring a shooting sling.
