In addition to the gun handling and marksmanship principles of the Vickers Shooting Method, this class will also have some very specific information regarding history, variants, and terminal ballistics. While "the Russian method" of employment may be touched upon, students will learn and apply the Vickers Method.

The forecast for Saturday is 27 degrees, clouds but no snow - not too bad all things considered!

Hell, that will feel like a heat wave after the weather around here lately. High of 15 today.

Should we bring snow shovels to dig out a spot to shoot from.

[Jay_Cunningham]

Just wear boots and socks that will keep your feet warm - and dress in layers. The first couple of hours will be spent in the clubhouse, so it won't be a full 8 hours of standing in the snow.

Funny, I was hoping for lots of snow...
