SUMMARY:CANCELLED -- Rifle 125 (Basic Rifle) - One Day (Bozeman\, MT)
DESCRIPTION:Due to lack of interest\, we have unfortunately been forced to cancel this event. If you are interested in attending one of our firearms training events in Montana\, please let us know by email at info@reveresriders.org. \nRifle 125 (Basic Rifle) Overview\nPrerequisites: None \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 200 rounds/day. \nRifle Requirements: You will need a safe rifle; any caliber but .22 LR saves money and does the job. 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” notepads 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 on a first-come first-served basis; please contact the Event Director beforehand 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 of how to field strip 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. 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.

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\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.
