Re: Midwest Rifle Master Challenge, Missouri, March
Hey guys, sorry for the delay, Christmas kicked my ass in the free time department.
I would plan on carrying half your ammo, may not need it, but, just in case. We will be covering a lot of ground, but never to far from the parking area and we will traverse through it a few times.
Plan on packing ammo, mags, some water (will also be provided), snacks and gear appropriate to the weather. It could be sunny and 70 or it could be colder then hell and snowing...don't know. You will also want a notepad and pencil, a laser range finder, maybe some extra batteries and anything else you think you might need. Just don't overdo it, its easy to do.
There will be a zero range available Friday night, but, I would highly recommend you show up with your rifle ready to rock...just in case.
Couple of things...it will be important to know your rifle, if it is between one you know and a new hot little thing, I would chose familiar. Also, most of the targets are going to be reactive...scores will be given when the target visibly moves, make sure you have enough energy to affect the target.
We will be stretching it out and it has been windy this winter...it may be, it may not be. It usually is not that bad here, but plan for wind.
Yeah, I know, I didn't make caliber selection easy, huh?
Know your scope and know your dope and you will be fine. We are going to do some fun stuff, stuff that you don't get to do a lot...its gonna be fun.
