Hey Everyone
I just wanted to post a note to people living in the Calgary area that we have our annual Team Challenge this coming weekend (21-22 July 2018). This is a training event open to the public. You can just come by yourself and you will be assigned to a team when you get there. You can just come for one day if you want & no reservation required. Normally we shoot in groups of four and you will have a wind coach assigned to your group. Teams compete against each other in a freindly way, so no pressure. You don't need to be the American Sniper, but your scope MUST be zeroed before you get there and you need to know your approximate settings for 700, 800 & 900 meters (use a ballistic calculator to figure it out). You will see everything from hunting rifles, RPRs, F Class target guns on the line. Most of these coaches were on F Class Team Canada so you are in good hands. You need a tablet or smartphone (Android or IOS) with a browser installed to be able to read the target scores and see where your shots landed.
Details
Time: 21-22 July 2018 be there no later than 8:30 am to register, goes from 9am to 3pm, cancelled if it's raining
Location: Fullbore Range at the APRA property (see the website for directions)

What You Need to Bring: PAL, bolt action, centrefire rifle (usually 223, 308, 6BR, 6 Dasher, 284 Win, 7mm, 6.5 Creedmoor etc up to 338 Lapua), scope (24x or higher works better), rear rest (sandbag, or bag), front rest (bipod if using a 308 or 223, anything else you want for other calibers), shooting mat, bolt flag, pen, notepad, tablet or smartphone, eye and ear protection, ballistic chart for your scope settings for 700, 800, 900 meters, 65 rounds per day. If you have a good quality spotting scope bring it, but not required. Remove your muzzle break before you come. Bring water, snack or lunch.
