ASC Practical Rifle is an action rifle match intended for skills development and casual competition, with a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of fun! This is an opportunity to get your rifle "off the bench" and challenge your marksmanship skills while developing new skills most shooters can't practice on a range.
Participants will face new scenarios each month, with two short-range engagement stages, and one medium range engagement stage at either 100 or 200 yards. Shooters will be "scored" based on stage time plus penalties.
Shooters should bring a semi-automatic rifle and plan on firing up to 150 rounds. Up to 4 magazines may be utilized on a single stage, and your favorite mag retention system is encouraged. We do not impose limitations on firearms or ammunition; all calibers and legal equipment is welcome. Optics are shooters choice, iron sights, red-dots, and magnified optics are all welcome. Practical Rifle is a great opportunity to gain experience with all your gear!
Whether pre-registered or on-site registered, you must be present for CHECK-IN* AT LEAST 15 minutes before the published start time. Shooters not present for check-in will forfeit their spot. Check-In occurs at the Registration desk on the East Side Bays.
AT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE PUBLISHED START TIME, we will start promptly with a Roll Call followed by a Safety Brief. Immediately following the Safety Brief, squads will walk to their start stage. All shooters must have event gear ready and in their possession before the Safety Brief begins.
* 'CHECK-IN' means you are confirmed present with the registration table. If you are late, we will assign your spot to someone who arrived on time and you will be added to the bottom of the 'Space-Available Signup Sheet'. Everyone must be at the safety brief in order to participate.

PRACTICAL SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS
This is the flagship class. We work on fundamental USPSA skills and apply them in a stage environment. We shoot a mix of drills and stages.
We also work on hitting small targets, moving around through stages, and breaking down stages. Don’t let the “Fundamentals” in the title for this class mislead you. This isn’t a class for new shooters. This is geared towards people that already shoot USPSA, understand scoring and safety rules, and want to improve.
Students should leave class with an idea about how to dry practice more efficiently and how to improve the foundation skills for USPSA.

PRACTICAL SHOOTING SKILLS AND DRILLS
This is a "how to train" class. Whatever level you are at, at the end of the class you should have a good idea of how to get to the next level. We work through a variety of drills from "Skills and Drills" and shoot stages.
This class features difficult scenario style drills and very little fundamental practice. The emphasis in this class is on learning how to do live fire practice sessions.
This is a class that is best done with a smaller group. I also strongly recommend that you have done a Fundamentals class before moving on to this one.
