Long Range Gunfighter Series


Overview: Long Range Gunfighter is a course for the beginners and intermediate shooters focusing on building a solid foundation of marksmanship. This course will introduce a solid foundation for precision shooting. This Course is designed from the ground up to build confidence in a shooter and to increase their first round efficiency at ranges up to 1000 yards.

Long Range Gunfighter II is a course for the intermediate/advanced shooter, continuing to focus on marksmanship fundamentals while incorporating new and advanced techniques. The student must have attended some form of basic long range marksmanship course prior to attending this advanced course. This will be a fast paced course; student can expect to spend most of their time shooting from unconventional positions, off of barricades, and from the inside of vehicles. The instructors will begin by focusing on safety and then quickly advance to supported-shooting positions, advanced fundamentals of marksmanship, and ballistic coefficients with advanced internal/external ballistics.
