Equipment Recommendations for Camp Perry Rifle Match

I'm thinking of going to Camp Perry this August 2-3 to participate in the Springfield and Garand "standard military issue" rifle matches.

The course of fire includes standing and prone shooting. I know the range is uncovered and the weather can be all over the board.

What kind of gear will I need/want/wish-I-had-brought to compete?

Any info and recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!
