Description:
This course seeks to equip you with practical bolt action rifle skills preparing you to place consistent, accurate shot groups at distances ranging from 100-600 yards. We utilize time proven technique and field proven wisdom to assure accurate performance at various yardages in a variety of compromised positions preparing the hunter, the target shooter, or the competitor for repetitive accuracy.
This course includes two shooting sessions: the first session covers safety foundations, optics basics, platform technique, sight In and velocity check, basic internal / external ballistics, bolt fundamentals, calibrating “hunting accuracy” for your rifle at 100-200 yards, fast acquisition pressure training, positional shooting and wraps up with dry fire homework. From sight in, to the steel challenge finishing up our first day together, this course will challenge and encourage existing bolt rifle skills taking them to new levels.
The second session will prepare you for practical accuracy to 600 yards, up to 1000 yards if your equipment and capability will allow. Reading wind, effective wind holds, dialing yardage, estimating hold over, and sending consistent hits continues our training as accuracy improving drills at mixed ranges stretch existing skill. Positional shooting, reload drills, unknown yardage and heart rate challenges add the fun back in as we challenge each other to consistent mid range accuracy.
Practical accuracy is described in 1 MOA groups ranging from 100 yards-600 yards.
