Introduction to Long Range Shooting Required Equipment

1-Bolt or semi-auto rifle, able to shoot a 1 MOA (1”) group @ 100 yards, i.e Remington 700, AR-15.  **NOTE: .30 caliber maximum.  (.308, 300 Win Mag, etc. OK).  Nothing larger (.338, 50 BMG, etc.)

2-Optics-Good quality optic, with target knobs (able to be turned by hand), to dial windage and elevation. An optic that requires a coin or screwdriver to adjust your windage/elevation is not suitable.

3-100 rounds minimum match quality ammo-Lake City Match, Federal Gold Medal, Corbon, Black Hills, or quality, proven handloads. Please, do not bring cheap ammo. No incendiary, armor piercing or tracer.

4-Data / logbook-A small spiral notebook will be fine. Storm, Impact and other premade are fine as well.

We can provide any equipment that you do not have, including a rifle. Please don’t feel obligated to rush out and buy a lot of gear. Part of the class is to introduce you to various types of rifles, optics and associated gear, so you can avoid spending money on gear, and finding out it’s not for you. The only thing that you will need to provide is ammunition. If you wish to use one of our rifles, please bring .223/5.56 77 grain ammunition.

Cancellations less than 14 days before class will result in a forfeit of $50 from registration fee. Cancellations less than 2 days before the course will result in a forfeit of $75 from registration fee. No refund for no-shows.
