WINTER LONG RANGE TRAINING SERIES

For the 10th consecutive year, the Rifle Section at Range Burlington will be hosting and co-instructing the highly successful 2015 Ontario Rifle Association Winter Training Series!

This course serves as an introduction to F-class shooting; with an emphasis on precision, prone engagement of 200-1,000 yard targets. Dates are as follows:

Jan 17, - Gear selection, equipment fit, what works, what doesn't and scope testing
Feb 21, - Reading wind, mirage and plotting Shots
Mar 21, - Mental Preparation and Confidence building on the firing line
Apr 18, - reloading ammo for 200- 1000 yard shooting

All courses are composed of a hands on classroom component and a hands on live-fire exercise on the range. Classroom 8:30am-1:00pm, Range 1:00pm-4:00pm. Greasy pizza lunch and snax provided.

Course participants will require all relevant safety gear, comfortable dress for prone shooting, a rifle, a minimum of 50rds per range session and a scope with adjustable turrets. Minimum is a .22rf with adjustable scope. Centre-fire, off-the rack hunting rifles with scopes are more than acceptable! If you have bi-bods, rests and bags, bring'em and we'll help get you sorted.

Course participants are expected to bring their own notepads, pens, markers, etc.

Cost for the series is $200.00. You must pre-register using the form found on the ORA website. Payment must be made by EMT. You will receive a confirmation e-mail that a seat has been reserved once payment has been received.

Please contact bobatora@gmail.com in case of any questions.

Please note the class size is limited to the first 16 people that apply. Due to the small number of spots, please consider your registration a commitment that you will be attending. No refunds are available.

Please check the ORA calendar 24hrs in advance of each class for last minute cancellations due to weather, range availability, etc.

Location- 1540 King Rd, Burlington, which is between Brant and Waterdown on the north side of the 403.

Attended last years course and it was simply outstanding, very highly recommended. For $200 this is an absolute bargain folks, the instructors are great and the knowledge gained here will serve you well for years to come.
 
Hey Bob
I didn't come to know about this until the class was full...:-(
Any chance to get on the waiting list? How to keep track of these events?
Thanks
 
No read your confirmation letter again and you should be good.
Ear defenders, eye protection, flash light (small) , flash drive, pen, notebook, ammo, bolt, gun, bi-pod/front rest. Open mind.
An additional sweater or heavier coat, depends on how warm/cold it is inside the range.

All right folks weather looks good for Saturday so we are a go.

If possible, please have a known zero on your rifle, it does not matter at what distance the zero is.

Class begins at 0830, sharp. Please be on time.
 
Anyone know what the deal is for this weekends outing?
I missed last session and could use a quick update as to what is going on.

Thanks
Jon
