"The right of the people to keep and bear...arms, shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country..." -- James Madison, 1 Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).

Coalinga Beginner's Orientation. If you have only shot Reduced Course Matches and are not familiar with pit target pulling and/or do not have zeros for over 200 yards, we offer a beginners orientation on the Saturday afternoon prior to our regular Sunday Matches. Check the Coalinga High Power Beginners' Page for details!
WE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO SHOOT A MATCH BEGINNING WITH THE ABSOLUTE BASICS:
This is the first step -- Target Boy
Chan wishes he had never complained about mess hall duty.
At least they gave him a stool to sit on, usually he has to stand.
I want to thank Mark Cote for making this page possible and not laughing (too hard) at all my idiotic questions.
