Build a solid long-range foundation with guided rifle setup, zeroing, and ballistic fundamentals in a controlled 100-yard training environment.


Vortex Edge’s Intro to Long-Range is designed to give shooters a proper entry point into precision rifle shooting by focusing on the fundamentals that matter before distance is ever added. The course covers the building blocks of a precision rifle system, including rifle and optic setup, proper scope mounting, boresighting, zeroing, and understanding how riflescope adjustments work in real use. Students are also introduced to core long-range concepts, including basic marksmanship, shot group analysis, ballistic software, and the variables used to build an accurate gun profile.
Training is delivered in a structured, beginner-friendly format inside Vortex Edge’s state-of-the-art indoor facility in Barneveld, Wisconsin. The class takes place on a 100-yard indoor range, allowing students to focus on process, consistency, and proper setup without the added complications of longer distances or outdoor conditions. This makes it a strong first step for shooters who want to build confidence before moving into more advanced long-range work.
Key features include:
Students only need proper range attire, including pants and close-toed shoes. This course is ideal for shooters who want to start with the right process, avoid bad habits early, and step into long-range shooting with a stronger technical base.
