Condensed Boot Camp Notes
The Full Distance Camp is a shorter version of an RBC. We will be shooting to full distances (100 - 400 yards) all three days. All the aspects of full distance shooting from an RBC will be covered. These will include target detection, range estimation, wind estimation & correction, trajectory, and comeups. Multiple opportunities will be given to shoot full distance AQT’s.
No Tracer, AP, or incendiary ammo allowed (fire hazard, hard on steel targets). Attracts a magnet is OK.
