Anyone ever been to one?
Anyone going to the one in Beaver Falls in Dec?
Info much appreciated.

Sure, I'll be there. What do you need to know?

Site says 4 to 5 hundred pounds over 2 days. It that right? That's a case between me and momma.

The three firing positions are prone, sitting and standing? Prone is mentioned but that's it.

Green tip 5.56 OK?

See you there.

Prone, sitting/kneeling, and standing. Depending on weather, 500 rds/student/weekend should be good. Green tip is OK for 90% of what we do. If there is interest in going to the 200/300 yd range on Sunday (2 - 4 PM), bring some ammo that won't chew up the Club's steel. Whatever weather is forecast for Beaver County airport, it will be 5-10 degrees colder down at the Club. See you there.

Tks, yeah, I know it's always colder driving through the valley there. I live right above it in Patterson.

OP, do you own a .22 semi-auto rifle? Not only will the ammo be a lot cheaper for the shoot, but you don't have to deal with the recoil.

Try to have iron sights, And have a sling

Yes, I own a .22 but momma thinks she is gonna finally outshoot me so we want to keep it even, she'll shoot her an and I'll shoot mine.

I can relate, shooting prone was really rough for me, with my knees I shot mostly prone, think about it, how often do you walk around looking at the clouds.. basically that's what you're simulating with prone.. I learned a lot but I won't be going back til I can go through the motions with ease.

Please don't let my post scare you off, I walked away from that weekend with a whole lot of knowledge..I can see why people will spend the 60bucks along with the other expense to go back.I'm looking forwarded to loosening up and doing another weekend...

WELL WORTH IT..
