Not trying to throw a damper on things, but are you sure that the range rules and the RSO will allow the shooting from the standing, kneeling or sitting and/or prone positions? From what I know they allow standing, but not too sure on the other positions. Might wanna find out beforehand in case they don't allow it and you can make alternate plans.
Unless something changed over the winter months, I don't anticipate a problem. I have been going there for a couple of years and have always been allowed to shoot from all four positions (standing/kneeling/sitting/prone), even on crowded, busy days. Of course, it makes sense that you would only try these positions at the 50 and 100 yard ranges. It's standing only at the 25 yard range but we weren't planning on using that one.
I know that the RSO at Willow Slough will NOT allow anything besides sitting at the bench or standing at the table because of the concrete "curb" in front of the shooting positions. He's afraid that a less than careful shooter might put a round into the curb and cause a ricochet. (Though, he has allowed me to use the various positions when I was the only shooter.) I should have ruled out WS as an option because of that in my original post.
Right now, I was planning on bullseye targets for the 50 yard line and I am considering silhoutte targets (with scoring rings) for the 100 yard line. We might just have to bring both and decide that day. I will bring the tragets.
Another thing ...
All are welcome. Even if you don't want to join the friendly match, you can join us to sight in your rifle. Hopefully we can find a knowledgeable person amongst us to assist you.
Yes, March 24th is pretty much a lock for me. Rain or shine I will be there unless any personal/family emergency arises.
