This year I promised that we would have more rifle clinics at LRGC, each having more specific focus in it. On March 21st, we will cover the particulars of the Kalashnikov rifle, and its effective use and deployment. The guys in the program all know I'm an avid Kalashnikov shooter, and after the Kalashnikov match in December, we received a lot of requests to put on a clinic with that specific focus. This is an intermediate level clinic intended for shooters 18 years and older who can already demonstrate proficiency with a semi-automatic rifle platform of some type, and have a keen awareness of range safety and muzzle discipline. If you've been an AR shooter for years, but always wondered what that ugly duck you stuck in the back of the safe can do, come on down. The clinic is all on the range, no classroom, and is focused on defensive and competition style shooting elements. Distances will be 5-200 yards, with most shooting inside 100Y. You may still bring a different rifle platform and fire the drills, but focus is on Kalashnikovs the whole day. Topics we will cover include:
- Basic Kalashnikov construction, nomenclature, and function
- Caliber differences, and advantages of each
- Proper zeroing technique
- Things to look for/avoid when contemplating a Kalashnikov purchase
- Sling use, carry techniques and deployment
- Short range shooting drills
- Reloading quickly and efficiently
- Effective Transition techniques
- The mistake people make most often when trying to Shoot the Kalashnikov accurately at longer distance
- How and what to practice to become proficient
- Using all the elements inside the buttstock tool kit
- Care and cleaning after firing corrosive ammunition
- Complete Bolt disassembly
- Recommended upgrades
To maximize individual instruction, attendance is strictly limited to 24 shooters. Non LRGC members will be asked to furnish donations in advance, which are refundable for any reason on request up to and including March 7th after which they are forfeit to the club.
