Apply advanced long-range skills in dynamic, timed shooting scenarios that test accuracy, speed, and decision-making out to 1,000 yards.


Long Range 3 is the capstone course in Vortex Edge’s Long-Range Pipeline, designed to take everything learned in previous levels and apply it under more demanding, real-world conditions. This is where shooters move beyond controlled drills and begin solving shooting problems that require efficient decision-making, refined wind calls, and confident rifle handling under pressure.
The course emphasizes practical application, with dynamic shooting scenarios that may include multiple targets, positional work, and time constraints. Shooters are expected to arrive with a solid ballistic solution and proven rifle system, allowing the focus to shift entirely toward execution. Concepts such as stage planning, balancing speed versus accuracy, and maintaining consistency across changing conditions are central to the training.
Instruction is hands-on and scenario-driven, with coaches guiding shooters through each evolution to reinforce process, correct mistakes, and sharpen performance. Training takes place across Vortex Edge’s long-range facilities, with engagements stretching to 1,000 yards and incorporating both stable and improvised shooting positions.
Key features include:
Students must have completed Long Range 1 and 2 and arrive with a rifle system capable of consistent sub-MOA performance, along with appropriate optics, support gear, and match-grade ammunition.
This course is designed for shooters who want to pressure-test their skills in realistic scenarios and push their performance in competition, hunting, or professional applications.
