Compliments of

Colorado Grey Fox

A few words of explanation . . . .

Ammo
This is enough to shoot the Board matches and NRA team and individual matches, not including the long range events. Has allowances for a few extra sighters due to boat in the impact area delays and a few alibis. Loads for each yardage is a new thing. Life was simpler when we all shot 30 caliber and there was only one good bullet.


Shooting gear

  • Hard gun case is for rifle transport to/from Camp Perry in a truck or horse trailer
  • Soft case is for use while at Camp Perry, to/from/around firing ranges
  • Gear hand cart- shooter needs some wheeled means of shifting gear around while on the range; once you leave hutment or vehicle you are gone for the day. I use a modified two wheel dolly and trash barrel.
  • Trash can- used to pack gear on trip to/from Perry, and on cart during matches
  • Gallon Ziploc- keep in stool to protect data book and score cards during rain storms
  • Parts & repair box- list is for M16, adjust for your needs
  • Accessory bag- use for lunch, drinks, take rain gear to pits, etc.
  • Quart size Ziploc bags- for packing lunch crackers, fruit, paper towels, etc.


Rifle mtce gear

  • Can be shared
  • Bar clamp secures cradle to lawn chair. I clean rifle while enjoying a fermented beverage, then clean myself.


Hut survival gear

  • Bug bomb- huts may have spiders, wasps, etc. One for whole group.
  • Cooler- medium sized, or share larger one if two people housed together
  • Rug- small bath mat sized rug to put on concrete floor, adds nice homey touch
  • Rope- used to fix bedsprings, make clothes line above bed, secure fan in window, etc.
  • Strapping tape- bed repairs, re-securing cooler and trash can for travel home, etc.
  • Battery operated clock radio- power in huts not always reliable, need one independent alarm clock per hut
  • Visqueen- in case of leaky roof
  • Broom- one for whole group
  • Gallon Ziploc- protects roll of TP from rain (good idea to take your own stationery to latrine…)
  • Combo lock- replace issued key lock, a real convenience, one per hut
  • BB & marker is to help keep team organized.

Clothing & personal

  • Shower sandals- cheap ‘flipflops’ best. Latrines a short walk from huts, floors not always clean
  • Reading material- there is down time, at huts, in pits, etc. Tom Clancy, not Neitsche.
  • Toilet kit contains a bottle of baby butt lotion- important for those unaccustomed to hot, humid climate.


Typical daily schedule:
Up at 0530 hrs, quick latrine call, simple breakfast in hut, head for ranges, shoot beginning at 0700 hrs, pull targets, drag gear around, walk a lot, return to hut, clean rifle, clean hut, clean self, trip to commercial row to drool & dream, dinner on post or in town, organize ammo/gear/clothing/lunch for next day, lights out by 2200 hrs. Substitute laundry and grocery shopping for commercial row as needed. Two weeks of heaven! Don’t forget to phone home a few times.
