Dale is a seasoned hunter and long-range shooting instructor who founded Evolved Ballistics to teach ethical, field-ready precision skills backed by decades of real-world hunting experience.
Dale is the founder of Evolved Ballistics and a respected authority on long-range hunting ethics and precision shooting. A lifelong hunter and accomplished marksman, Dale's journey into long-range shooting began with a simple principle: take every shot with confidence - or get closer.
He developed that philosophy into a cornerstone of Evolved Ballistics, blending real-world hunting experience with technical precision. Dale's credentials include completing the North American Super Slam - successfully harvesting all 29 big game animals on the continent - and achieving the Grand Slam of North American Sheep.
His experience spans extreme environments, including African safaris, where he hunted five of the seven dangerous game species.
Dale's instruction focuses on practical preparation:
"When preparing for a hunt, practice under conditions that mimic the field - shooting from different positions, in varying weather, and at unpredictable distances."
