Hi All,

Lee-Anne and I have finally commited ourselves to attending the weekend! Accomodation is booked and various arrangements made.

Over and above the general theme of the two days I will be conducting a training seminar for any who wish to sit-in. All who wish to should bring their rifle, ammo and other gear as I intend to combine classroom theory with practical application. The format will be the same for both days so those who can only make it for one day will not miss out on anything. This seminar will be free of charge. The only costs you will incur is a range fee and food/refreshments plus any item you may opt to purchase from our 'shop' on the day. If you have known requirements please let me know beforehand so I can be sure to have it on board.  The day would run roughly as follows -

8.00AM   Set up flags and targets etc.
9.00          Discussion re flag reading/interpretation, seating and setting up front and rear rests.
10.00       On the firing line to set up and shoot at about 200 to prove your rifles' accuracy and basic flag reading.
Midday    Lunch break  and further discussion/demonstrations. We will also look at cleaning procedures.
1.30PM    Firing line to shoot at 500. A rail gun will be set up to help highlight wind effects.
3.00          Discussion and demo of ammo prep and reloading and perhaps more on cleaning.
4.30          Finish

I will have my target cameras in operation so that we will not be overly bothered by mirage.

Feel free to pose any questions you might have on this forum prior to the weekend.

Pete
