Team Ammo for Perry -- June 10

 From Capt Kurt - team coach

"Boys, Tom and I just completed loading the team ammo for the Infantry Trophy match. Those of you who have paid into start-up funds (Allee, Torborg, Schoess, Moline, Rhode, Harrison, Weidell, Boyle) will have access to rounds for practice, zeroing and the match. I have hand inspected and sealed 384 rounds for the Perry event. The balance will be for the team practice in July, and zeroing on your own. I will arrange for shipping if necessary (Boyle). The load consists of;


Mil-spec cases, Wolf primers, 77gr Sierra Match Kings and 23.7gr. Varget. We avg. about 2650 with this load and was in the middle of 23.5 and 24 where the avg. difference was negligible for the extra .5 gr.

If you can make some of this (or close) for our Wednesday practices please do. PLEASE USE 75 or 77 GR BULLETS ONLY!! This is critical to our success with this match. Having to add/subtract for one shooter w/ 68 or 69's is a distraction we can do without.

Also, I purchased a bunch of "E" sillhouettes for team use so if you want some for practice Lemme know. I'll get them to you. This Wed, will be 600 yard practice @ GRRC and we will begin Infantry practice in earnest after completing slow-fire. Be there by 5pm for setting up and the first shots downrange will be no later than 5:30."

Team Coaching Plan for Camp Perry Nationals.

From Capt. Bob
I have not shot or coached a SR team for a while but the basics never change. Below are some things I would like all the members to consider and work on. First & foremost is that we are there to safely have fun and learn. This is a hobby, not D day where we have to be there
Let’s talk about what I will be doing as coach & what you will be doing as the shooter.

There are 6 shooters ands 1 coach. Therefore it’s much better for all to expect coaching the same way for each rather than the coach trying to remember the way 6 different guys want to be coached. When you arrive on the line at each stage I would like you to have the proper zeros on the gun and tell me you do. When done at each stage I would like you to go back to your no wind zero.
The coach is there to read the wind for you and remind you to set zeros. Your job is to shoot good elevation and let the coach tell you what to do for wind. Let’s break it down to the 4 positions......................
