Thanks, I will check into this. Ideally it would be closer to Clackamas but with limited options, I may need to make the long drive to do this.Might look at Thunder Ranch in Lakeview, once you figure out what you'll own & shoot.
It's unlikely a class would supply long guns these days, however I believe some CMP high power courses/classes used to.
Douglas Ridge Rifle Club...Thanks, I will check into this. Ideally it would be closer to Clackamas but with limited options, I may need to make the long drive to do this.
I took Long Range 1 from McCluskey Arms/Sidewinder Concepts earlier this year. Excellent two day class that I wish I would have taken before buying any of my long range gear. I easily would have saved more than the cost of the class by not making the poor choices I made with my original gear selection. The private range is awesome, going from 100 yards all the way to 2500 yards with steel already in place with proper berms in place. You shot off a raised platform build on top of a shipping container that is covered so you are elevated in addition to some additional shooting positions and scenarios.anyone here know of a place where you can get good training while shooting out past 500 meters? Haven't done any long range shooting, don't even have a bolt action yet, but Christmas is almost here and I am going to be getting myself one.
That would seem exactly what the OP is looking for!I took Long Range 1 from McCluskey Arms/Sidewinder Concepts earlier this year.

In my opinion you are doing this right by not having your rifle and optic already. I am also going to assume you don't have much of the other long range gear either. One of the great things about the class is the exposure to a wide range of gear covering budget options to top dollar which allows you to see what does and doesn't work for you. You will be dialed in and ringing steel at a 1000 yards by the end of day one and feel confident in your abilities by the end of the two day course. They also have gun rentals for the class in addition to providing quality spotting equipment if needed.

One of the attendees did a Vlog of the course. A bit lengthy but some great info in it and gives some good shots of the range and items covered in the course:
Ne 21st and the Banfield Expressway in the green belt facing almost due west..anyone here know of a place where you can get good training while shooting out past 500 meters?
