Add another one. I asked my wife if she wanted to go and she stunned me by saying yes. She is a completed novice and will be a challenge for an instructor. A couple of people have tried to help her shoot a pistol. But she has a weird sight situation that needs some time to figure out. She's left eye dominant and uses contacts in a strange way. I don't quite understand it. I hope someone can figure it out. Now there are 5 of us in the extended family attending.

Sunday afternoon we plan to use the 200 yard rifle range. I'm just the club link though. Swamp Thing will better be able to tell you. Centerfire's can be shot on the line that weekend.

Assuming it's ok with the club, I've got a full-sized steel D target we can set up for the 200-yard range.
It's best when you use a Garand. On that 8th shot you get BOOM-PING-CLANG

No problem on the steel target. We just need to send the round in the dirt after the CLANG

I can confirm that you'll want to bring that centerfire rifle with you.
Main instruction will be at 25 meters. Rimfire works well for cost efffectiveness. Expect approximately 400 rounds downrange at this distance. Maybe more!
Sunday afternoon we'll move the folks who want to go over to the 200 yard range and make some noise.

Excellent news Draken. I love the sound of Mosin's in the afternoon.
To clarify, we will split the line up on Sunday. Those who want to shoot at 200 can move over to that range, those who want to stay at 25 or may need some extra fundamentals can stay put.
The tough choice is this. As the range only goes to 200 yards, we will have no way of qualifying as an expert rifleman on that range. If you haven't shot a qualifying score by that time, do you stay at 25 and shoot more qualifying tests, or move over to hear bang clang?
Life is full of tough choices I suppose.
At any rate, this will be a great way to spend a weekend!
