URSA will have shoots in NorCal (Clear Lake area) and SoCal (Barstow area) on April 24th.
We start shooting at 2000 yards and those that shoot well enough then shoot at min 2500 yards. All locally-legal firearms (rifles and rifle/pistols) are welcome. There are NO fees, we shoot on public land. 4WD or AWD with decent ground clearance recommended as the sand can get very deep.
Detailed info for NorCal is usually posted on CalGuns (Long Distance Shooting sub-forum). That contact is Lynn ([email protected]), our Regional Director (RD) for CA/NV.
Initial info re SoCal is what you are about to read PLUS those that sign up will get shoot-specific info a few days before the actual shoot date, here tentatively 4/20. My contact is [email protected]
SoCal:
Based on the last shoots in both SoCal and NorCal, we will have targets set up from the start at 2080 and 2640 (approximate). Shooting at 2640 is NOT guaranteed - how well shooters shoot determines that.
As you may know, April and May are expected to be the best two months of the year for weather. We'll see.
Also, as you may know, we have at least temporarily gone to 4th Sunday for Q2 (April. May, and June) to give the folks that have schedule conflict on 3rd Sundays a chance to shoot. If that turns out not to be enough incentive, we'll be back to 3rd Sunday come Q3.
NOTE: Here is the official drill for SoCal shoots (as posted on the Schedule page) - "
* Please note that ALL SoCal shoots are based on shooters notifying the contact that they are committing to come and shoot. If you fail to notify the contact by 6PM on the Wednesday prior to the shoot, you will not be counted when considering whether there are enough shooters to go forward with the event. Thus an event may be canceled for lack of your notification. Please do take the time to notify the contact of your intent to shoot. Thanks."
Just so there is no confusion, anyone just posting on CalGuns, or another forum, that you are coming does not cut it. I need your confirmation by e-mail so I can get you the detailed shoot info. If I don't get the e-mail confirmation, you will not be on the detailed info e-mail distribution. Thanks for your cooperation.
