SUMMARY:CANCELLED - RIMFIRE ONLY: Rifleman's Continuum Training - Five Day (Appomattox\, VA)
DESCRIPTION:This is a private event for VCM and One Shepherd members ONLY (if you are not a member of either of these two groups and purchase a ticket anyway\, your order will be cancelled and your money refunded). \nThis event will also be .22LR ONLY (leave the “big boy” rifles at home). \nNo on-site registration for this event; pre-registration via the website only. \nRifleman’s Continuum Training Overview\nRifleman’s Continuum Training (RCT) condenses three separate Revere’s Riders rifle marksmanship courses into a single five-day event. Participants will begin with learning basic rifle marksmanship with a rimfire rifle on a 25-yard range\, then take their rimfire rifle to longer “known distance”\, and finally learn techniques for field expedient range estimation to get hits at “unknown distance”. \nPrerequisites: None \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 1000 rounds of .22LR (40gr standard velocity [~1050fps]\, packed in at least five 1qt freezer bags; Gemtech\, Aguila\, Federal Gold Medal\, CCI Standard Velocity are all good brands; bringing additional ammunition is never a bad idea). Same type and lot # strongly urged; consistency is a virtue especially when shooting at longer distances! \nIf you need to ship ammunition to the event\, please contact the Event Director for shipping arrangements. \nRifle Requirements: You will need a safe rifle chambered in .22LR. Magazine-fed semi-automatic rifles generally work best for our classes (for example\, the Ruger 10/22 or Marlin 795)\, but any other type of rifle (tube-fed semi-automatic\, lever-action\, bolt-action\, etc.) can be used as well. Bring whatever rifle you have and we will work with you. Your rifle should have provision for sling attachment on the bottom of the rifle stock. Sling swivels that can accommodate 1¼” inch slings are preferred (Talon is my favorite brand; much more rugged and no more expensive than the competition). \nA backup rifle is recommended in case problems with your primary rifle arise (no loaner rifles will be available). This RCT is intended to challenge both shooter and rifle; finding your rifle is not up to the challenge halfway through can be an unpleasant surprise. \nSight Requirements: This event is designed for scoped rifles though you may attend with other sights. Ideally\, a click-adjustable scope (around 4× fixed magnification or 2-7×\, 3-9×\, etc. variable magnification). We will be making sight adjustments throughout the day so having a click-adjustable scope will enhance your experience. Either MOA or Mils are acceptable. \nRECOMMENDED: \n\n\n\nQuality Scope — cheap scopes will fail you; not if\, but when. Your scope doesn’t have to be expensive\, but a quality brand (these usually include a lifetime warranty) will stack the odds in your favor. If unsure about what to get\, A&A Optics are good people to turn to.\n\n\n\nNOT RECOMMENDED: \n\n\n\nRed Dots — the dot will obscure small targets. Additionally\, red dots lack a reticle for use in measuring angular distances necessary for rangefinding severely handicapping you in the “unknown distance” (UKD) portion of this event.\nIron Sights — the “hunting sights” that come stock with most rifles will not give you the precise sight picture needed for this event. That said\, Tech-Sights makes a good quality aftermarket “GI style” peep & post sight that will fit many rifles\, give a better standard of accuracy\, and is appropriate for this event assuming your eyesight is sufficiently good to clearly see targets at distances of several hundred yards.\n\n\n\nRequired Equipment: Please plan to bring the following gear: \n\ncase for your rifle\ntowel or other cover for your rifle (protection from both rain and sun; black rifles get surprising hot when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time)\nrucksack/pack/etc. to carry all the below gear (we’ll be moving on the range throughout the day):\n\nmilitary-type LCE/webbing/782 gear is a good option for carrying frequently used gear on your person\na hydration backpack (“camelback” style) which can be used handsfree is an excellent option to carry your hydration supplies\n\n\nsturdy field-expedient rest (bipod\, sandbag\, pack\, bedroll\, etc.)\nsling for your rifle (a Magpul RLS\, US GI sling\, or M1907 sling are strongly preferred; “Ching” slings are also acceptable)\nshooting mat or something to lie on when shooting (camping mat\, rug/runner\, etc) is strongly recommended; nothing inflatable!\n\nlimited loaners available on a first come/first served basis; please CALL the Event Director to reserve.\n\n\nrifle cleaning gear:\n\nbore snake or rod\ncleaning solvent and oil\,\nappropriate cleaning brushes\nrags\, newspaper\, etc.\n\n\n8-10 magazines for your rifle is optimal; having at least 4 clear magazines allowing you to visually confirm loading status is also extremely helpful (if you don’t have that many\, bring whatever you do have)\nhigh powered binoculars\, spotting scope and/or electronic range finder (strongly recommended)\na way to take notes (Rite In The Rain is a popular option given that we’re working outdoors; spiral bound 3×5 cards that can be had cheap at department stores are also a great solution. Bring at least two notebooks\, in ziplock baggies for weather protection\, and plenty of pens)\nmarking pen (contractor grade Sharpie preferred)\ncompass (lensatic type preferred)\nprotractor and ruler\nclipboard\ncalculator (your phone probably has one that will be more than sufficient; however\, make sure whatever calculator you bring can be used through an entire day without needing to be plugged in to charge)\ntape measure (the fabric or soft plastic ones you find in the craft section are perfect; a small construction type will do)\nhearing protection (bring an extra set of hearing protection\, both headset and plugs\, in case you should need them)\neye protection\nlunch and snacks (light lunch of field-stable foods to avoid “food coma” afterwards)\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal; plan on 2 gallons/day)\nclothing appropriate for the weather over 5 days (count on rain\, sun\, heat\, bugs\, and cold; loose fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn. A “boonie” cap is strongly recommended\, as are long sleeved shirts and long trousers. Permethrin treating your clothing and equipment is smart; ticks\, chiggers\, and mosquitoes are no fun.)\nboots or sturdy shoes (we’ll be walking through fields and it will be muddy). NO SANDALS OR SNEAKERS!\nhunter orange/fluorescent vest or boonie\nknee pads\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass and keep sun off your head)\nassorted ziplock style plastic baggies (keep your powder and all other stuff dry!)\ncamp stool or folding chair\nhand sanitizer\ntoilet paper\n\nPlease have your rifle and accoutrements ready to go; event volunteers are not gunsmiths or armorers and have neither the qualifications nor the time (which would be taken from the other shooters) to put together your rifle. Test fire your rifle(s) for both function and accuracy before coming would be smart… \nRifle 125 (Basic Rifle) Overview\nThis is our signature offering\, based on traditional American riflecraft that teaches “Hits Count!” It is appropriate for a wide breadth of student skill levels. This course lays a sound foundation for students to shoot groups under time pressure from a variety of practical field positions. Rifle 125 includes classroom and range time firing on targets scaled to simulate 100-400yds fired at 25yds. Students learn: \n\nRules for safe rifle handling & range rules\nRifle parts and operation & ammunition\nShooting fundamentals: Five steps to firing each shot\nNatural Point of Aim\nShooting from the prone\, standing and sitting/kneeling positions to include use of the sling\nIntroduction to Sight Adjustments and basic calculation of minutes of angle\n25yd “Morgan’s 13” Classifier\n25yd Rifle Qualifier\n\nRifle 262 Rimfire Known Distance (RFKD) Overview\nShot with .22LR rimfire rifles (Ruger 10/22\, Marlin 795\, etc) at 25/50/75/100yds to introduce the concepts of trajectory\, come-ups\, external ballistics\, and field shooting. Using rimfire rifles saves money and time over centerfire\, while allowing shooters to experience nearly the same practical considerations as shooting a centerfire rifle at longer distances. This clinic completes the training needed to make consistent hits at 500yds (the rifleman’s quarter mile). These are the skills used in CMP and NRA Highpower matches. \nRifle 262 Rimfire Unknown Distance (RFUKD) Overview\nShot with .22LR rimfire rifles (Ruger 10/22\, Marlin 795\, etc) out to 200yds adds the previously mentioned skills to the concepts of target detection and range estimation. Data is created\, then confirmed with good marksmanship. This allows the skills necessary in precision rifle (PRS\, NRL etc) programs to be taught on the cheap (.22LR ammunition at <$0.10/round vs .338 Lapua at >$5.00/round) and on ranges with limited distance. Rifle mounted optics get best results\, though the concepts can certainly be learned with iron sights. These are the skills that allow hunters in Wyoming to “get my elk at 1200 yards”. \nRange Fees\nRange fee payable on site (minimal to cover toilet cost and to be determined; cash only / exact change only). Event Director will notify you of the exact cost prior to the event. \nCamping\nOn-site camping is available at no charge. Camping is dry/primitive only. There will be some form of toilet provided. \nCamping will begin on 4/18 and end the morning of 4/22. Please have everything you need BEFORE coming to the range; the local area may not have everything you need and the road out can be extremely muddy and/or impassable. \nRequired Camping Equipment: \n\nziplock style baggies of all sizes to keep gear dry and pack out your trash\ntoilet paper (kept in above mentioned ziplock baggies)\nhand sanitizer (lots!)\nwater (at least 1 gallon/day beyond the 2 gallons/day required for day shooters)\nBaby Wipes! Baby Wipes! Baby Wipes!\n\nAdditional Questions?\nIf you have any additional questions not answered above\, please contact the Event Director via the contact information below (he is most easily reachable via phone).

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - RIMFIRE ONLY: Rifle 125 (Basic Rifle) - One Day (Appomattox VA)
DESCRIPTION:This will be a special Patriot’s Day event to commemorate the birth of our nation on April 19th\, 1775 and to honor those who gave their lives for our Liberty on that day—thanks for joining us! \nThis will be a .22LR only event due to restrictions imposed upon us by the range hosting the event. \nRifle 125 (Basic Rifle) Overview\nAll participants MUST register online—no walk-ons are permitted. \nPrerequisites: None \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 200 rounds/day. \nRifle Requirements: You will need a safe rifle chambered in .22LR ONLY. Magazine-fed semi-automatic rifles generally work best for our classes\, but any other type of rifle (tube-fed semi-automatic\, lever-action\, bolt-action\, etc.) can be used as well. Bring whatever rifle you have and we will work with you. \nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions for appropriate Rifle 125 equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nYour rifle – LOANER RIFLES ARE NOT AVAILABLE at this event\nsling for your rifle (a 1¼” US GI sling\, Magpul RLS\, “Ching”\, or M-1907 slings are strongly preferred as our instruction will be specific to these sling types; SOME loaner slings MAY be available at the event). Talon makes high-quality sling swivels (inch and quarter) that are comparable in price to their more cheaply made counterparts\nat least two magazines for your rifle\, 8 (10 round) magazines are recommended\na way to take notes; given the fact that we work thru all-weather “Rite In The Rain” pads are a good option\, as are spiral bound 3″x5″ cards found inexpensively at department stores when carried in baggies. Also\, bring pencils/pens. Remember the “winner” is not the shooter who gets the highest score\, but the shooter who brings home the most information and practices!\nhearing protection; recommend having both multiple sets of foam earplugs and headset type hearing protection on hand\neye protection; clear or amber lenses recommended for peep sights and overcast weather\, dark lenses for sunny weather\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal); minimum 2 gallons per day\, please. Nalgene-type water bottles and Camelback-type backpack hydration pouches refilled from bulk water work better and create less trash than disposable water bottles\nclothing appropriate for the weather (loose-fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)). Long trousers\, long-sleeve shirts\, and Boonie caps backed up by foul weather gear protecting from sun/wind/rain/cold/bugs are a smart way to go. Safety colors are always a plus. boots preferred; no sneakers/sandals/open-toe shoes\nshooting mat\, foam camping pad\, carpet remnant\, or similar; nothing inflatable. Some loaners may be available first-come first-served; please call to reserve\nkneepads\, preferably with a plastic cap\nSome kind of camp/folding chair is a must\nWe have a working lunch; please bring something shelf-stable (bars/cans/pouches; or in a sealed container) and not too heavy. Snacks (granola bars\, etc are better than loose chips-type) are also good to have\nsunscreen and bug spray are a must in field conditions!\nmagic marker; contractor-grade Sharpie preferred\nknowledge to service and safely operate YOUR rifle\nziplock baggies of all sizes are handy for waterproofing ammo/gear\, and a MUST for packing out your trash\n\nIt is helpful that all ammunition is of the same type (i.e. same weight\, type\, manufacturer\, etc) for this event. Standard velocity (approximately 1150fps) round nose 40gr (e.g.\, CCI Standard Velocity) target ammo often brings the best results. Shooting will primarily be at 25 yards. \nPlease have your rifle ready to go for this shoot with everything (sights/scopes/slings) attached. We are NOT gunsmiths/armorers\, and cannot steal time from your fellow shooters to mess with your rifle. \nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\ncase for your rifle\nstapler (and extra staples) to attach your target to the backer board\ntarps make picking up brass easier\nTech Sights makes a GI-style peep sight far superior to stock iron sights for target shooting if your eyes are young enough to take advantage. Optics are a must for most of us old farts; aaoptics.com is a great place to go if you have questions. Red/green/etc dot scopes are NOT recommended as the dot is usually larger than the target\, obscuring it\nelbow pads\ncleaning supplies (bore snake\, etc) are always smart to have\nwhite trash bag or white towel (cover your rifle to protect from rain/sun)\nWhere shoots challenge both shooter and rifle\, it never hurts to bring a spare rifle\n\nLoaner Firearms: NOT AVAILABLE at this event \nOverview: This is our signature offering\, based on traditional American riflecraft that teaches “Hits Count!” It is appropriate for a wide breadth of student skill levels. This course lays a sound foundation for students to shoot groups under time pressure from a variety of practical field positions. Rifle 125 includes classroom and range time learning to shoot rifles. Students learn: \n\nRules for safe gun handling & range rules\nRifle parts and operation & ammunition\nShooting fundamentals: Five steps to firing each shot\nNatural Point of Aim\nShooting from the prone\, standing\, and sitting/kneeling positions to include use of the sling\nIntroduction to Sight Adjustments and basic calculation of minutes of angle\n25 Yard “Morgan’s 13” Classifier\n25 Yard Rifle Qualifier\n\nThe Midnight Ride of Paul Revere\nHear the true story of Paul Revere’s famous ride and learn about the events that immediately precipitated the Revolutionary War. Paul Revere did not ride alone – many individuals played crucial roles in the events of April 19th\, 1775. \nThis history presentation begins with alarm riders warning “the Regulars are out!” You’ll hear about the dramatic stand on Lexington Green and the “shots heard ’round the world” at Concord’s North Bridge. The tale concludes with harrowing life-or-death choices made along the 17 mile “battle road.” \nThis exciting tale will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events. \nAdditional Range Information\nPrivate road to access range\, may be muddy in wet conditions\, 4wd optimal.
