300 Yard Practice

Range Rules: Click Here to Download.

Location: Washtenaw Sportsman’s Club (WSC), 5095 Ellis Rd, Ypsilanti Township, MI 48197.

Open: Only to members but not guests or the public.

Cost: No cost

When: Always on the third Thursdays of each month. During the spring/summer (between March to September), there will be alternate morning and afternoon events.

Early practice -

• 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.

ALate practice -

• 5:00pm to 7:00 pm.

This is NOT a sanctioned event, and so it is available to members only and not open to guests or the public. ROs will only be on duty early on only to observe.

These events will have a 2-hour time slot blocked off on the calendar for the 300- yard practice. Shooters are expected to:

1. Come before the start of the time period to set up targets and sign in at the rifle house.
2. Be responsible for making sure nobody is in the Rifle House, Bench Rest Structure, Open Concrete Pad, 200-yard berm, or downrange.
3. Lock the main gate with their own lock (chains already on the gate) prior to going to the 300-yard berm via the side range gate which will remain open.
4. Shooters coming after the gate is locked will not be able to shoot this event.
5. At the end of the period, the member(s) who initially locked the gate will be responsible for unlocking the main gate and signing out.

Keep in mind that this is only for shooting from the 300-yard berm and not any other longer KD (Known distance) berms, and since it is not a sanctioned event, no person is allowed in the target pits to pull/mark targets during the shoot.

Since targets are far, good optics will be needed to see your hits. Large sheets of white paper and/or “shoot and see” targets are recommended. Personally owned target camera or electronic targets are of course ideal.

Depending on the popularity of this program, it will either be enhanced, remain or be discontinued. If you like and utilize this program, make sure you sign in and specify 300-yard shoot so that we know.

Note:

1. This event does not replace the legacy “Informal Firing From the KD 300-yard Firing Berm” rules as described in the current “Range Safety Rules”. However, participants of that event are advised to lock the gate like this event to avoid people wandering into the range during their shoot.
2. All participants should check WSC calendar schedule dates before coming.

Targets: ShotMarker® electronic target system click above link for information.

Sign in/target setup/takedown: Depending on the schedule, shooters should arrive at either 11:00 am or 4:00 pm sharp to pay the practice fee and get assigned a target/target lane. Shooters shooting MR-1 targets (vs. MR-1FC) and/or rifles equipped with muzzle brakes/compensators should report this to the range officer (RO) attention for proper lane assignments. All shooters then go to the pits to help put up the e-target system before going to the 600-yard firing line for the practice. All shooters are expected to stay after the practice to help with the take down.

Actual practice: Shooter is allowed to shoot for 30 minutes. Round count is not limited as long as it is safe. Shooters with rifles equipped with muzzle brakes/compensators shoot from the right side of the shooting area with a blast shield between them and the other shooters. You can shoot from a loaded magazine or single load – your choice.

600-yard Certification

Range Rules: Click Here to Download.
ShotMarker® Electronic-Target System: Click Here to Download.

Location: Washtenaw Sportsman’s Club (WSC), 5095 Ellis Rd, Ypsilanti Township, MI 48197.

Open: To public and non-club members.

Cost: No charge.

When: Wednesdays and alternate between early practice and late practice weeks (check calendar for details).

As per club rule, ALL first-time shooters regardless of experience are required to go through 600-yeard certification before they can shoot from the club's 300–600-yard Known Distance (KD) range berms. We offer this as a FREE service to help folks started. The only exception is for shooters participating in the Mid-Range Tactical Rifle Match (MTRM) who does not need to certify beforehand since their first course of fire is to shoot 10 rounds from the 200-yard berm for score.

All shooters coming to certify should first call (see below) to get scheduled and come at the VERY BEGINNING of the certification period which would be at either 10:00 am/3:00 pm sharp depending on the week (see WSC calendar for time details). This is because the certification process takes time as it involves both putting up targets for the certification and the shooting the certification. People who come late i.e. after 10:30 am/3:30 am may not be allowed to certify since there may not be enough time to do setup/shoot since the next 11:00 am/4:00pm time slot is already reserved for 600-yard shooter sign in/target setup.

The other key item for a successful certification is to come with your rifle ALREADY ZEROED at either 100- or 200-yards. What we offer is a "certification" service, but not a gun "zeroing" service. It is basically impossible to know just how far off a non-zero gun is – it could be 1 MOA to more than 50 MOA off – we have seen both. Other potentially underlying mechanical factors such as scope/scope ring problems can also significantly complicate zeroing. As such, it is to the shooters advantage to not add this potentially complicated and stressful process on top of your certification.

Guns that are slightly off of course is OK, but if you are significantly off, it may mean that you will not be able to get “on paper” and get certified. Also anything we end up having to help you zero your guns can cause significant delays which may abort you certification.

Certification involves shooting at a NRA MR-1FC target at 200-yards away either from the bench or prone on the 200-yard berm – shooter's choice. Shooter fires 10 rounds at an NRA 600-yard MR-1FC target and is expected to keep all 10 rounds within the target's "9-ring" which is 12 inches in diameter. The targets are connected to our ShotMarker® e-target system which will show your hits on your iPhone/Android phones in real time. For details on the e-target system, click on "ShotMarker® Electronic-Targe System" link above to download the PDF file.

Shooters who pass the certification will earn a WSC 600-yard certification card. The card certifies the shooter for life regardless of which firearm he uses as long as it is a club-legal caliber firearm.
