SUMMARY:Rimfire Only Basic Rifle - One Day (Laramie\, WY)
DESCRIPTION:This event is .22LR ONLY; please leave your centerfire rifle at home (your wallet will thank you!) All participants MUST register online—no walk-ons are permitted \nRifle 125 (Basic Rifle) Overview\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 chambered in .22LR ONLY– 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 and snowy 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 refilled from bulk water work better and create less trash than disposable water bottles; Camelback-type hydration pouches are discouraged in below-freezing weather; big insulated sippy-cups with your favorite (non-coffee) hot beverage are also encouraged\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 underwear with layers over it protecting from cold and wind is a smart way to go. Safety colors are always a plus. Cold-weather 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\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; A&A Optics 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)\nin an event that challenges 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.

SUMMARY:Rifleman’s Continuum Training - Five Day (Laramie\, WY)
DESCRIPTION:No 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 (Rifle 125\, Rimfire Rifle 262\, and Rifle 262) 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” (100 yards) adding factors\, and then prove their mastery of the previously taught skills using a centerfire “service rifle” out to 400 yards. \nPrerequisites: None \nEstimated Ammunition Required: Bringing additional ammunition is never a bad idea. Same type and lot # strongly urged; consistency is a virtue especially when shooting at longer distances! \nRimfire: 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). \nCenterfire: at least 200 rounds of quality (Mag-Tech and Frontier are favorites of mine in 55/62/75gr) ball ammunition appropriate to your centerfire rifle. \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. For your centerfire “service rifle”\, the ubiquitous MSR/AR-15 is overwhelmingly the favorite. By centerfire standards\, both the platform and the 5.56x45mm ammunition are economical and shooter-friendly. \nYour rifles 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) AND GI-style iron sights are both available\, maximizing your experience. 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. \nFor many rifles (to include the Ruger 10/22)\, Tech-Sights makes GI-style iron sights which can be retrofitted. \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.\n“Hunting Style” Iron 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)\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 Centerfire Known Distance (KD) Overview\nDesigned around the “service rifle” and fired at 100/200/300/400yds the KD is the capstone event of the week. Rifle mounted optics get best results for ancient eyes\, though iron sights work fine for the younger shooters. \nRange Fees\nThere are no range fees charged to Revere’s Riders shooters at Laramie Rifle Range. \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 8/20 and end the morning of 8/25. 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).

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.

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\nRevere’s Riders will be holding a shoot on Saturday Feb 19th at the first tactical bay past the covered 200yd shed but before the blue conex. The shoot will be held regardless of weather conditions as long as the range is accessible from Rogers Canyon Road. \nThe shoot will involve instruction in field firing (no benches or bipods; shooting will be in standing\, seated\, and prone positions with the sling only for support); the instruction will be based on skills taught by the US Military from the late 1800s until today by the Marine Corps. The skills taught are those used in NRA High Power or CMP Mid-Range competitions. \nAll levels of shooting skill are welcome\, from beginners to expert. Everyone benefits from review of fundamentals and coaching. Those with mobility issues who can see\, hear\, and comprehend are also more than welcome; we’ll work with all best as possible\, safety being the primary concern. Ages 6-116 are encouraged to participate. \nAn opportunity to qualify at 25yds will be offered towards the end of the day\, with targets sized to simulate 100 to 400yds used. Bringing a .22lr semi-automatic rifle with detachable box magazines of minimum 10 round capacity (optics or irons welcome) is recommended for those wishing to shoot a qualifying score\, but bring what you’ve got. The real focus of this shoot is education\, and improving the skills of the shooter\, and this can be accomplished with any rifle. \nThe “winner” is not the one with the highest score\, but the one who takes home the most information and then practices those skills. Those coming with a beginner mindset and notebook take home the most. \nRegistration will be online (reveresriders.org) with a substantial early-bird discount. Registration is also possible on-site for exact payment in cash\, no discounts. Fees will vary (youth discounts\, etc.) There will also be a $10 range fee (exact amount in cash\, please) payable on-site for all\, INCLUDING RANGE MEMBERS. \nPlease BRING a NEW\, UNWRAPPED TOY as a donation to Toys for Tots of Albany County. \nOther than bathrooms (in the clubhouse)\, plan on being OUTDOORS FOR THE ENTIRE (8-5) DAY. Check-in will begin at 8:00AM and ENDS at 8:30AM; the safety brief is promptly at 8:30AM.
