Marksmanship Clinic In Kern County - Correct Date June 19, 2010.

Under the sub-title “Brushing up on marksmanship and shot placement” I reported on April 10, 2010 on a class designed to “teach big game hunters how to refine and apply their basic marksmanship skills to become better hunters”. My brief article was part of a larger review of the remaining wild pig hunting clinics for 2010 cosponsored by DFG and the Pacific Coast Hunter Education Association.

However, the correct date is June 19, 2010 and NOT June 12, 2010 as incorrectly stated in my article.

The link on the DFG website now has the correct date. Please make a note of it.

Paul Turpin, former special operations, marksmanship and combat shooting trainer for the military and the police, distinguished expert, will be your instructor. The clinic will cover:

“Cartridge selection

Rifle ballistics basics

Non-lead projectiles

The concept of "point blank range"

Effects of wind & weather

Proper field shooting positions

Use of computer generated firing solutions

Use of field shooting aides

Sticks

Bipods

Tripods

Bags

We will also conduct a zero confirmation & adjust for maximum point blank zero. “

This clinic promises to be challenging, highly instructive and great fun.
