This year I promised that we would have more rifle clinics at LRGC, each having more specific focus in it. On March 21st, we will cover the particulars of the Kalashnikov rifle, and its effective use and deployment. The guys in the program all know I'm an avid Kalashnikov shooter, and after the Kalashnikov match in December, we received a lot of requests to put on a clinic with that specific focus. This is an intermediate level clinic intended for shooters 18 years and older who can already demonstrate proficiency with a semi-automatic rifle platform of some type, and have a keen awareness of range safety and muzzle discipline. If you've been an AR shooter for years, but always wondered what that ugly duck you stuck in the back of the safe can do, come on down. The clinic is all on the range, no classroom, and is focused on defensive and competition style shooting elements. Distances will be 5-200 yards, with most shooting inside 100Y. You may still bring a different rifle platform and fire the drills, but focus is on Kalashnikovs the whole day. Topics we will cover include:
Basic Kalashnikov construction, nomenclature, and function
Caliber differences, and advantages of each
Proper zeroing technique
Things to look for/avoid when contemplating a Kalashnikov purchase
Sling use, carry techniques and deployment
Short range shooting drills
Reloading quickly and efficiently
Effective Transition techniques
The mistake people make most often when trying to Shoot the Kalashnikov accurately at longer distance
How and what to practice to become proficient
Using all the elements inside the buttstock tool kit
Care and cleaning after firing corrosive ammunition
Complete Bolt disassembly
Recommended upgrades
To maximize individual instruction, attendance is strictly limited to 24 shooters. Non LRGC members will be asked to furnish donations in advance, which are refundable for any reason on request up to and including March 7th after which they are forfeit to the club. To secure a spot please visit:

Re: Kalashnikov Rifle Fundamentals Clinc at LRGC 3/21/2009
You guys were an excellent group to work with. One of the most squared away since we started running these.
I could see a lot of improvement in everyone by the end of our day.
Feel free to post some After-action remarks. I'd love to make the Kalashnikov offering better, and it only improves based on your input.

Re: Kalashnikov Rifle Fundamentals Clinc at LRGC 3/21/2009
Sorry Fred, Im just seeing this now.
I had a good time and learned some things for sure. One thing I learned was how friggin short my sling was compared to what I need. You and Anthony had the Bulgy slings and they looked like the ticket so I scored one and its great. Been practicing my transitions and the right length sling makes all the difference.
The only thing I would have liked would be a scoring system. Im not even sure it fits this type of course, but it is fun to see how you stack up against the competition.
Keep em coming Fred!
