Long Range 1 & 2

This 2 to 4 day weekend course is built for shooters with some prior experience who want a broader understanding of long range rifle work and current methods. The program covers the full shooting system, from safety and rifle setup through optics, ballistics, atmospherics, and practical shot execution.

‍

Instruction focuses on helping the shooter understand why equipment and technique choices matter, then apply that information on the rifle. Students work through rifle and caliber tradeoffs, scope setup considerations including MOA versus mils and reticle selection, use of ballistic computers, wind reading and correction, basic density altitude effects, body position for recoil management, and foundational internal, external, and terminal ballistics.

‍

Key training areas include:

• Safety procedures and the complete rifle breakdown, including practical strengths and weaknesses
• Caliber selection and how to evaluate tradeoffs based on intended use
• Scope selection, including MOA versus mils and reticle choice considerations
• Ballistic computer use, basic ballistics, and density altitude effects on bullet flight
• Wind reading, wind adjustment, body position, recoil management, and speed shooting work

‍

This course fits the shooter who already has some range time and wants a more complete long range foundation. Students should arrive with a rifle system they can run safely and enough familiarity to benefit from instruction that builds on basic experience.
