Preparation for Atterbury.
Start here then I'll focus on specifics after.
Appleseed - How to Prepare for an Event
1 - Start time - Checkin is at 7:30AM EDT. For those in most of Indiana, this is 7:30. For those in the Central time zone, it's 6:30 CDT. Safety briefing is at 8:00 sharp. We will not wait to get started. The day will be long and we can't afford to lose time here. The plan is to get a first KD AQT in with review and a second straight through for everyone. Time permitting, we will shoot at 500yds as well(AQT goes to 400yds).
2 - Camp Atterbury firearms policy - No firearms. An exception is made for civilians for the firearms to be used on the range for an event.
3 - Centerfire Rifle, Zeroed - Please make an effort to get a known zero prior to attending. 25m or 200yds preferred but any known zero will work.
4 - 250-300 rounds of ammunition - Make sure it is all the same as what was used to zero. For those with AR's, heavier is better. 62gr vs. 55gr, 75gr vs 62gr, etc...
5 - The elements - The range being used is not sheltered in any way. If it's sunny, you will be out in the sun. If raining, you'll be out in the rain. Bring what's appropriate for you and bring cover for your rifle if rain is expected. Layered clothing is best so that you can adjust to the changing temps. Events are not cancelled due to the weather(exception with extreme weather only. i.e. - tornado, severe storm/lightning). Do not bring portable shelter as the firing line will be moving frequently.
6 - Additional items:
> Shooting mat.
> Sling.
> High powered binoculars or spotting scope. Will be used during sight in for each distance. We understand that not everyone has these. Some should be available to share.
> At least 2 magazines. Round count on each string will be 10 not including sighters but transistion stages require a mag swap. Internal mag bolt guns will have to reload within time constraints.
> A way to take notes.
> **Eyes and Ears** Eye and Ear protection is NOT an option.
7 - Sign Up - YOU MUST HAVE SENT YOUR INFORMATION(name, address as appears on your ID, rifles and their serial numbers.) TO YELLOWHOUSEJAKE and WRWIII PRIOR TO June 11th. Sending a PM to our INGO forum names is fine, but to be safe also email your information to in@appleseedinfo.org
8 - Hydration - make sure to bring enough water/gatorade/etc.. to stay hydrated. It might be cool out being early in the year but the wind can take it out of you faster than the heat.
9 - Food - There will be a designated time for lunch and history. Please bring what food you need. Leaving base for lunch is not the best option and we continue without anyone who is late returning from lunch. If everyone brings food that can be eaten on the fly, all the better.
10 - From the gate to the range control - Essentially, you continue through the cantonment area on the road you came in on. You will come to a stop sign across from the fire department. Range control is on your left, Look for a white Ford Ranger. A $10.00 per day range fee is required from each shooter attending.
If you have any questions, please contact me at in@appleseedinfo.org or call my cell at 1-317-989-0578. Keep this number handy in case you have any questions in route once on the base.
Thank you - Yellowhousejake
