Extreme Long Range Rifle Shooting

Description

In the Extreme Long Range Rifle Shooting course, you will take an in depth look of what it takes to shoot at longer ranges. This 3-day course will help you understand what goes into shooting long range and what it takes to do so. Here is what each day is going to look like:

Day 1- Will cover Rifle setup, spotting, and correctly running the ballistic solver. It will be very in depth covering what affects the bullets trajectory and what to expect in the real world. Velocity will be validated at Mach 1.2 distances caliber dependent, tall target testing will be done to ensure scope alignment and trackability, cold bore mapping, DSF truing if necessary, and a basic concept of wind will be discussed.

 

Day 2- Will be spend proofing your system at all distances that your rifle will be shot at up to and including 2.5 miles. A more in-depth focus on wind will be covered in the afternoon to see how it can change your elevation component of the firing solution.

 

Day 3- Will be spent on the 360° range focusing on all wind angles and first round shots with quick and accurate follow ups.
