Basic Precision Rifle Course is an introduction to long range shooting.
This course is designed for the shooter who wishes to develop the skills to engage small targets with a high degree of probability for first round hits. This includes sportsmen as well as hunters.
We will discuss equipment selection, the fundamentals for precision rifle marksmanship, supported field positions, ballistics, and ammunition considerations. Shooting will primarily be done at 100 and 200 yards. This course is designed for a rifle with a telescopic sighting device, preferable of at least 7 power magnification. During this class, we will be walking to the target and back. Please wear comfortable boots for such activity.
Prerequisites: None
Check in 8:00am
Start time: 8:30am
End time: 4:00pm
Equipment needed:
1. Bolt action or Semi-Automatic rifle in center fire cartridge.
2. Quality rifle scope of at least 7 power magnification. We strongly encourage the student bring a rifle capable of 2 minutes of angle accuracy, or better. While less accurate rifles will may work, it is possible the student will be frustrated with some target engagements if the rifle suffers from a lack of accuracy.
3. A quality optic is strongly encouraged. If you have questions as to the type or brand, please contact us for recommendations.
4. 200 rounds of good quality, factory ammunition. Again, match quality will be a strong selection here, lesser quality ammunition will leave the student unsure if their deficiencies are equipment/ammunition-related, or skills-driven.
5. Ballistic eye protection.
6. Hearing protection.
7. Shooter’s mat, as most of the shooting will be from the prone position.
8. A rear bag for the rifle stock.
9. Notebook and pen for note taking.

What a AWESOME class!!! Mike teaches in a way that is east to understand and takes the time to make sure that you understand what is needed to become a proficient long range shooter. Started at 100 yards and before I knew it I was hitting at 500.
Thanks Mike had a GREAT time!!!
