What to Expect from our Long Range Class


Loading Video Player...

Here's what to expect from our Precision Rifle Class.

We utilize a custom wireless 3-camera shot spotting system with ballistic prediction software. Students often place first round hits at 750 yards within 10 inches of the bullseye! This is well inside the kill zone of large game animals such as Elk, Bear and Moose. This maximizes your Training Time and Value - come see how PointBlank can improve your next hunting trip!

We teach the fundamentals of how to calculate a shooting solution, apply that solution and learn to spot inaccuracies.

Precision Rifle Training Class at PointBlank Gun Training

We highly recommend bringing the equipment you'll be using out in the real world. This is typically hunting rifles with fairly light barrels and stocks. With this in mind, we'll push your equipment and skill level out to as far as you're capable. These common hunting rifles can remain fairly accurate throughout the day, but the light frames generally cause the most issues with recoil felt at the shooter's shoulder. If you have any concerns about your gear (rifle, optics, ammo, etc) please feel free to contact us.

We also recommend 9x or higher magnification for any shooting under 500 yards. We prefer a minimum of 12x or higher, but 9x with generally good vision for the shooter can be effective. At 750 yards, 9x is not enough magnification typically to remain within our accuracy requirements. You will shoot out as far as your skills, rifle and ammo will allow safely!
