Team Remington provides instruction for Advanced Highpower Clinic at Camp Perry
By Steve Cooper, CMP Writer
|
CAMP PERRY, OHIO – The Advanced Remington-Bushmaster Highpower Clinic, led by retired U.S. Marine Ken Roxburgh and his team of top shooters from Remington-Bushmaster, provided expert service rifle marksmanship instruction and competition techniques to more than 60 shooters during this year’s National Matches.
|
|
Over 60 students participated in the Advanced Remington Highpower Clinic. All participants received two and half days of instruction, handouts, clinic t-shirt and clinic certificate.
|
The clinic parallels the USMC Junior Service Rifle Clinic that’s offered to younger competitors but delves into much greater detail. A team of expert service rifle shooters and coaches that comprise the Remington-Bushmaster Team joined Roxburgh in classroom instruction and on the range for a full day of practical application using dry-firing and drills.
“It was an outstanding experience,” said Ed Harrison, 61, of Newton Falls, Ohio. “The course took me much deeper into the discipline of highpower shooting than I had ever been before.”
|
|
Remington provided seven expert Highpower instructors to conduct the CMP/Remington Advanced Clinic at Camp Perry during the National Matches. Remington also instructs the Highpower Clinics at the Eastern & Western Creedmoor Cup Matches.
|
The clinic concludes with an expert shooter panel discussion on Sunday morning and an opportunity to participate in the squadded practice on Rodriguez Range at Camp Perry.
Roxburgh is a former Staff Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of the USMC Shooting Teams and he currently serves as Director of Remington’s Highpower Programs. Roxburgh’s no-nonsense, Marine Corps-inspired teaching kept students on their toes, but each walked away with some of the finest competitive service rifle tools available to the civilian shooting community.
