10:00-12:00 Open to members only. Call Ed Janka 630-272-3187 for any questions.

 

The member will be asked these questions:
- What caliber are you shooting?
- What does your ballistic table show the bullet drop at 600 yards?
- Based on the bullet drop, how many Minutes of Angle (MOA) is that equal to?
- Based on the calculated MOA, how many clicks or Mil Dots were adjusted on your Scope/Sights for this MOA?
- All of the above information may be located on your phone, tablet, and notebook or printed out. The important factor is that the shooter fully understands the calculations for bullet drop out to 600 yards. If the information is not correctly answered, the member may not shoot to qualify.

 

Having satisfactorily proven the member knows long-range shooting data, they will be allowed to shoot 3-5 shots at a target set out at 600 yards. Their rounds must impact on or at least near (3-5 feet) the target in the SAFE area on the 9’ smaller berm. Impacts on the 50’ large berm are not safe. The shooter will be allowed to check the scope setting, make an adjustment, and shoot again. If the round impacts on the 50’ unsafe area again, they DO NOT qualify.
Shooters, who have safely completed the shooting test, will be issued a 600 Yard Certification Stickers to be placed on their badge, until such time as a new badge is issued. Non-Members will be given a business card with the sticker attached as proof of Certification for any future long-range events.
