06/19 – 06/20 Practice Information

There will be Open Practice live fire shooting on 06/19 and 06/20 at Wilcox Range 103.

The course of fire for 06/19 (Saturday) will be a non-formatted practice and will be determined on the morning of by the contingency of those in attendance. There will be a work party afterwards to organize, clean, and paint the club’s Conex container at Range 103.

The plan for 06/20 (Sunday) is to start on the 600 yard line to establish and/or confirm zeros. Then shooters will move the 300 yard line for drills to include pair firing and three to a target firing. The drills are designed to get shooters to learn and reinforce wind reading skills.

Schedule Changes – June LR Cancelled, Replaced with Practice

The following announcement has been handed down by the SMGC Board of Directors:

The Long Range matches scheduled for Range 117 on June 19 and 20 must be cancelled as the Range will not be available.

Instead,  SMGC will open Range 103 for practice on Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20.  The BoD would be most appreciative of any persons who can plan to stay on and help out with a cleaning and reorganization of the Target Conex on Saturday after practice.  Many hands make light work.

We would also like to invite everyone to bring along an extra 80 rounds for a NTIT “rattle battle” practice.

Next Event: 05/15 Open Practice

The next live fire event is an Open Practice this Saturday, May 15 at Wilcox Range 103.

After the general practice time, the club may run through a modified NTIT (“Rattle Battle”) for interested parties. So bring extra ammunition just in case.
