Participants must be aware of the Range Standing Orders in place governing this particular practice:

1. This practice is not intended for the untrained. It is mandatory that each participant has received training to effectively zero and shoot a rifle system out to 600 meters during a long-range specific course or clinic. The 2019 Long-Range Rifle CLINIC was held on 14 April 2019. You may also qualify by taking the MilCun Enhanced (Long-Range) Rifle Course, offered three times this year.
2. Each participant must have an understanding of what it takes to properly obtain and or confirm a zero for the rifle, scope and ammunition being utilized.
3. Furthermore, during the practice, participants must achieve an effective zero commencing from 100 meters and continue to achieve effective hits progressively at subsequent distances out to 600 meters.
4. Participants must also possess shooting liability insurance, commonly acquired through their home club, such as CSSA, CCFR, NFA, or similar.
5. Any ammunition being utilized must be safe. Meaning, if the rifle experiences any signs of excessive pressure, such as a hard extraction, this will result in that batch/lot of ammunition to be banned from being used.

Ammunition must be proven safe in your rifle; you must have previously fired 50-100 rounds of this load in this rifle. Electronic ear defenders and safety glasses are required. A 2-way portable radio and a spotting scope are recommended.

Targets: bring what you want to utilize for 100m zero and at progressive range intervals out to 600m.
