Mil-Dot Bracketing Under Variable Mirage
2 days · Outdoor range + classroom · Range Estimation
This lane-focused block pairs classroom reticle math with repeated outdoor pairs where mirage and heat lift change apparent size. You carry a range card template, log each correction, and receive line-by-line feedback after every string. The goal is not memorized tables but a repeatable sequence you can execute when the clock is moving.

FAQ
Do I need a matched spotter for this block?
Pairs are encouraged but not required. Solo shooters receive instructor spotting on half of the lanes.
What optics magnification is expected?
Most participants use 15x–25x first focal plane scopes. Variable-power hunting optics can be accommodated on the short bracket lanes only.
What is not included?
Ammunition, range fees billed by the host facility, and lodging near the training area are not included. A detailed packing list ships after registration.
Experience notes
The mil-dot bracket ladder on day one finally made my notebook useful. I still rewrite the same column headers before every match.
Mirage vocabulary was new to me. The lane where we had to defend each correction verbally slowed me down in a good way.
