 THORP CREEK-   PRIVATE  SHOOTING RANGE



The Red-Dot Optics Clinic


Format: 3 x 3 Hour Sessions

Session 1: My first Red-Dot.

This session will focus on familiarizing the shooter with how a red-dot works. Shooters will learn to confirm zero on a red-dot optic, both eyes open sight picture, and indexing with a red-dot optic.

Session 2: Red-Dot Fundamentals.

Shooters will progress through multiple levels of skill based indexing, sight picture, and follow through drills to hone and focus their mind-set on the target. This session will require shooting approximately 200-250 rounds. 


Session 3: Red-Dot target focus. 

Three continuous hours of occluded, target focused drills. Shooters will learn the process that leads to Red-Dot, target focus mastery. This session will require shooting 250+ rounds. 



The D.O.P.E. Rifle Clinic

Format: 3 x 3 Hour Sessions

Session 1: Not that kind of D.O.P.E.

Shooters will learn the basic process of doping a rifle, why its important for continual improvement of marksmanship, and how to utilize D.O.P.E.


Session 2: I can D.O.P.E.

Shooters will hit the range and D.O.P.E. their rifle with the help of a spotter at 100 yards. Once D.O.P.E is confirmed, students will shoot a course of fire between 100 and 300 yards. 


Session 2: D.O.P.E. fire. 

With the help of a spotter, shooters will run a complete course of fire that includes target acquisition and location, varying distances, and target sizes and profiles. Using the previous sessions D.O.P.E. will be required to ensure positive outcomes. 


Drill, Baby, Drill

This clinic consists of 2, 4 hour sessions on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Saturday afternoon begins with setting a baseline Bill Drill time...and then the real fun starts. The rest of this class is just as described. Drill, drill, drill and then hit that baseline again at the end of Saturday. Sunday is much the same but the drill intensity will begin to increase until we take one more baseline Bill Drill to assess how your skills have improved over the course of the clinic. 

Drills include Casino, El Capitan, The Tiny Man, Transistor, Bill Drill, Aim Point Torture, and many more. This clinic requires a minimum of 500 rounds and shooters should prepare for up to 1000 rounds of fire.
