I didn't want to hijack Jediagh's thread so I thought I would start my own.
This idea has been floating around in my head for a while.
Event:
I was thinking of suggesting a weekday get together at one of the closer/more accessible DNR ranges (Kingsbury, Jasper-Pulaski, or Willow Slough).
Target audience:
Anyone that can't make the 'official' NWI INGO Meet & Shoot for whatever reason.
What to expect:
More structured than the Meet & Shoots but substantially less formal than a shooting match.
Purpose:
To sight in the rifle(s) of your choice or get help sighting in your rifle. To practice the rifleman shooting positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone ... no benches).
Finish:
Once everyone is sighted in and happy, a friendly match at the end of the day. Shooting for score at 50 yards and 100 yards.
Extras:
Breaking clays afterwards or handgun shooting.
What is expected:
You already know how to operate and handle your rifle safely. Follow all the range rules including the cease fire rules and the hot zone rules. Have fun. Minimalist approach ... rifle/sling/ammo/targets. Dress for the weather, bring a snack, some water and anything else that you might need to hit your target and can fit in one pack.
What not to expect:
Not a picnic or gun try out. Bring what you got. Shoot what you bring.
When:
Sometime in the next 4-6 weeks. Depends on feedback.
That's it. Ideas? Suggestions? Feedback? Interest?
