1. Semi-automatic rifle with at least three magazines. We have seen that .223 rifles of the AR-15 configuration do best in this class, though others have done all right, also. Please note that fixed sights operate on parity with guns equipped with optics in this class.
2. 1200 rounds rifle ammunition and 50 rds. pistol ammo.
3. Handgun, belt holster and magazines.
4. Rifle sling.
5. Rifle cleaning supplies and equipment.
6. Ear protection (you may want plugs and ear muffs) and wrap-around safety glasses (eye protection)
7. Kneepads.
8. A billed baseball cap
9. Clothing appropriate for a considerable amount of time outdoors.
10. A pen and notebook
11. Your lunch and beverages.
Notes: If your rifle is equipped with an optical sighting device, please bring the owner’s manual for the device to aid in sight-in and adjustments. Rifle selection: .223 v. .308 caliber. This class incorporates extremely rapid fire/high round count firing drills, and we believe the .308, while a great battle rifle cartridge, is not suitable for this class due to the recoil of the rifle and the effect it has on the shooter in these particular drills. We strongly urge a .223 caliber rifle, but if you choose to go with the .308, at least have the good sense to get a PAST recoil pad for your shoulder!
