Provided you have your drop logged in 50 yard increments out to the furthest the range you will shoot at has targets you should be good.
Keep in mind that as things heat up your point of impact will move up...
If you haven’t ever shot with Mirage, the target is lower than it looks -aim low !!
The first thing you will learn is that you aren’t allowed to close the bolt without your cheek on the stock (safety rule at just about everywhere).
For whatever reason that screws with a person’s head.
If you have 10 round magazines, or can get them - Take’m ... or you will have to reload at some stations.
you’ll need a good bipod (harris is fine).. and a front bag for shooting off rails and boards.. a challenger bag is best - if it’s hard take some sand out of it so it conforms to what ever you put it on.
WRITE YOUR NAME on stuff that everyone has or it can grow legs ... you’ll get it back, but someone might carry 2 bags for a couple stations.
Make sure you have a sling you can take off, guns are heavy, you have to walk...
You’ll need a good backpack to throw you bags, binoc’s, ammo, ... from station to station.
BINOCULARS... you’ll need to see the layout of the targets before the course of fire begins so you aren’t looking for them when it’s your time to shoot. Many guys bring a tripod & a spotter as well.
Empty action flag ... to put in when not shooting is good.
Let them know you are a new shooter, and to call the shots for you so you can adjust your aim.... things will be more enjoyable that way.
Notice they will have different types of shooting at each station, some are one or shots per target with multiple targets at the station, others will be shoot until you miss and you are done, ....There is a briefing at each station, so pay attention to those.
Barricade stances tend to jack people up, put the bag up, put your feet back and spread square to the targets, and lean forward just a bit to put some pressure on the rifle into the bag.
It’s worth spending some bench time just getting used to chambering when a round is in an open action when you are looking through the scope at a target, and also trying the barricade stance before you get to a match.
What every you do - have fun.
