SUMMARY:LPVO Class 6APR24
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the development of smaller\, lighter\, and more durable variable power scopes has challenged the traditional notion that scopes can only be used for long range\, and are unsuitable for close range moving and shooting. Simultaneously\, carbines used to be considered good for 200-300 meters\, but with the advantages of variable magnification\, you can accurately hit targets out to 600 meters. \nIn this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique niche that the Low Power Variable Optic holds in the modern age of sporting and combat weapons\, allowing users to shoot faster\, and farther greatly extending a carbine’s flexibility and precision while still maintaining light weight\, a low profile\, and good close range weapons handling.   \nLearn how to maximize the strengths of your new LPVO scope\, while mitigating and overcoming it’s shortcomings. Gather specific tips on zeroing\, range estimation\, reticle selection\, and engaging targets both near and far.  \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \n\n\n\nTopics:  \n\n\n\nDesign philosophy of lightweight low power variable scopesWhat makes a successful combat optic?Basic overview of function and capabilitiesProper mounting and levelingEye reliefDiopter adjustmentParallaxUsing the reticle to range and shoot farther targetsFirst focal plane vs. Second focal planeBackup sights and piggyback red dotsHow much magnification do I need? Tall mounts vs. regular height mountsProper zeroing procedureMinutes of angle and MilliradiansHoldovers and holdundersFast wind estimationLow light considerationsRealistic and theoretical effective rangesHigh stress shooting and moving drills from 0-600 meters \n\n\n\nSchedule:  \n8:45 am Setup\, issue out ammo and weapons 9:00 am Safety brief and theory12:00 noon Low intensity dry practice and slow live fire to learn new technical skills 3:00 pm High intensity\, high round count moving and shooting drills5:00 pm Debrief\, clean up\, go home  \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore. Detail directions will be emailed to those who sign up.
