Please email questions
I'll post them here along
with answers. Thanks.
How much does it cost?
$175 to shoot all the
single-shot rifles once and shoot 10 rounds through the belt-fed.
$125 to shoot all the single-shot rifles and NOT shoot the belt-fed.
$90 to shoot 10 rounds through the belt-fed only.
Why does it cost $15 more than
last time?
Because we added a new single-shot rifle, the Ultimate
Accuracy AMAC 5100.
Does that cost include range
time?
Yes. The fee you pay ARM USA
includes all-day range time. We pay the range to
allow you to shoot there.
Are eye and ear protection included
in the registration fee? If not, can I rent
them at the range?
No, we do not provide eye and ear protection nor does the range rent these
items.
You may purchase inexpensive eye and ear protection here at the store (under
$10)
or you may buy it at the range the day of the shoot.
I can't make it in your store
but I want to sign up. Can you fax me the forms?
Forms may be faxed to you but they must be returned to ARM
USA prior to the day
of the shoot you wish to attend. If you request the forms via fax or mail,
we suggest you
bring them back personally to ensure you a spot for the day you want. Sign-ups
are
on a first-come first-served basis.
I live closer to Angeles Range
than to your store. Can I sign up at Angeles Range?
We will be sending all pertinent sign-up forms to the Angeles Ranges.
You can pick them
up there but you must mail or bring them to ARM
USA. Please do not turn in the forms
to Angeles Range personnel. They are not responsible for collecting sign-up
fees. I'm
hoping to have downloadable sign-up forms soon!
Can I give you a credit card
number over the phone and fill out the forms at
the range on the day of the shoot?
Sorry, but NO. All fees are to be paid in cash, check or money order. All
sign-ups shall
be complete prior to the day of the shoot. A check is acceptable, but only
if you sign up
and pay 14 days or more in advance.
I don't have any previous experience
shooting the 50 cal guns and only limited
experience shooting hand guns...can I still sign up for the 50 cal shoot?
Absolutely. Just let us know when you sign and we can go over some basics
with
you. Also, during orientation (first thing the day of the shoot) be sure to
pay very careful
attention to all instructions given. You will also be able to watch others
shoot the rifles
before you step up to take your turn.
I am seriously considering buying
a single-shot 50 caliber rifle and have narrowed
my selection to one of two rifles. What if I want to shoot only 2 of the single-shot
rifles so I can choose the rifle I wish to purchase?
Please do yourself a favor -- shoot all the single-shot rifles before you
make your
decision. Even if you've shot some before. The shot you take could change
your
mind. We can also offer suggestions to consider before you purchase, just
ask!
My friend wants to come along
and watch. Can I let him shoot one of my shots?
NO.
What if he pays for range time?
NO.
Can my friend and I each pay
half and shoot half the rounds each?
NO.
My Dad and I want to shoot all
the rifles. If Dad gets tired and doesn't want to shoot
some of the single shots, can I shoot them?
By all means! We're not going to force anyone to shoot anything. If you are
both signed up
for everything, you may take his remaining shots.
Would my brother be able to
shoot a couple of my Dad's shots?
Only if your brother is signed up for the shoot.
How about my dog?
I'd like to see THAT.
I want to sign up for the belt-fed
and my friend wants to sign up for the single shots. Can I save 2 rounds on
the belt-fed for him and in return shoot one of his turns on a single shot?
NO. The only way we would even consider swapping shots is if both parties
sign up for the entire shoot. We have not determine if we will do this, except
for your Dad.
If I am at the range that day
shooting and I've already paid my range fee for the
day, can I throw 15 bucks at you and shoot one of the single-shot rifles?
Maybe. We haven't really thought of that. And hopefully there will be enough
time
and ammuntion to do that sort of thing.
Can I just show up at the range
and just take my chances?
Not advisable. We have run out of ammo before. Not to mention you won't
be able to
get in the drawings, have exclusive 50 BMG T-shirts and Hats, and all the
other fun
you might miss out on.
What if it's raining?
If it's raining cats and dogs in Anaheim, the shoot will be postponed until
the following
Sunday.
Can I bring my own ammunition
and shoot for free?
NO.
Can I bring my own ammunition
and shoot for less?
NO.
Can I bring my own ammunition
and shoot --
I said NO. hehehe
When should I sign up?
Please sign up ASAP. We need to see how many shooters there will be and plan
accordingly.
What if I pay for the shoot
but don't end up shooting all the rifles because I
have an emergency?
That's a violin.......
Seriously, though. Once you're signed up for a shoot, you need to BE THERE.
Lots
of time and planning goes into the shoots and if you've signed up, most likely
we've
turned someone else down because CAPACITY is limited. Any fees paid to shoot
are non-refundable.
Why don't you take credit cards?
While we do accept credit cards for merchandise in the store, we will not
accept them
for payment of any 50 Caliber Shoots. This way we don't have to worry about
someone
signing up, failing to make the shoot because they were too hung over after
Saturday
night's party, and trying to reverse the charge on their card (which is a
pain in the arse).
What if just want to come out
and watch?
Everyone is welcome. Bring cameras if you like. All shooters AND spectators
must wear
ear and eye protection at ALL times and abide by all Range Rules.
Can I bring other rifles to
shoot?
By all means! Sign-up includes full use of rifle, shotgun and pistol ranges
for the entire day.
How long does the shoot last?
We have had 11 shooters and finished about 12:45 pm. We have had 24 shooters
and everyone was done shooting by 1:45. Each shoot is different, depending
on the
number shooters and their experience. We've also become a lot more organized.
Each time we put on a shoot, we learn quicker, better ways of doing things.
