Modern Precision Rifle Class

$325/day + $45/day Range Fees

(4 Days) LEVEL 1

The journey begins here at the Modern Precision Rifle Class. Just getting into long range shooting as an enthusiast or a hunter? Look no further as there’s simply not another more comprehensive class out there that focuses on developing a solid foundation of skills that will set you up for success on your journey of becoming a modern day rifleman.

The Modern Precision Rifle class starts at the basics as we teach you about the finer points of your rifle, optic, and ammunition and how they work together to produce the precise results you’re looking for. You’ll dive deep into the fundamentals of marksmanship, teaching you how to shoot your rifle to both its and your own capabilities. From there, we’ll jump into the science of long-range shooting, discussing everything you need to know to be successful on your own and giving you achievable goals and confidence.

Next, we’ll give you an exposure to how to read the largest variable in long range shooting, the wind, and how to make accurate adjustments when you don’t get it right. You’ll wrap up your introduction to long range shooting with a brief dabble into shooting off of your belly, and you’ll know where your strengths and weaknesses are after you complete our basic Modern Day Rifleman evaluation.
