Ultra long range class.

[BLUE COLLAR IRONS]

I apologize ahead of time for poor spelling and grammar. I don't have my glasses today.
Please let me know below if this is something you guys would be interested in and I will make an effort to get it all set up.
Im thinking about putting together a 2 (possible 3) day workshop to teach ultra-long range shooting. Just curious if this is something anyone would be interested in? This course would be for the novice to intermediate shooter.
What are MY credentials? Well, Im 52 years old and I have been shooting rifles in a long range capacity for over 40 years. Below is a pic of me nicking gophers at 100+ yards with a marlin 30-30 at age 11. And two videos of me shooting 1000+ yards at steel. I have (actively) been at the forefront of modern ultra long range shooting in terms of technique and equipment since the age of 30. Hitting a 24" steel plate at 2300 yards with my custom 300 win mag is pretty standard for me. I can do this due to my 40+ years of shooting experience and 20+ years of research and experience in regards to hand load development, equipment choice and setup, weather and atmospheric readings and shooting technique. I have been asked numerous times by people if I could teach them how to shoot like this. And of course this is not something I could teach in 1 day. So my proposal would be a 2 or 3 day course. 1 or 2 days in a classroom, and 1 whole day out at my 1000 yard+ shooting spot in Tillamook to actually put what you've learned into practice.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
1.BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF GUN SAFETY
2. A RIFLE OF 308 CALIBER OR LARGER THAT HAS A HALF DECENT TRIGGER SYSTEM, AND A SCOPE WITH AT LEAST A FIXED 10X OR GREATER THAT TRACKS RELIABLY AND HOLDS ZERO.




The course would cover:
Day 1 (possibly 2) classroom - NOT IN THIS PARTICULAR ORDER

1. A brief history of long range rifle application and hard target interdiction.
2. Proper shooting technique (prone with bipod, tripod, and improv bipod).
3. Caliber choice and ballistic characteristics.
4. Hand load development for long range (bullet choice, seating depth, neck tension, powder type and weight, annealing, die choice etc).
5. How to create a shooting calculation using ballistics apps and kestrel weather meter, and also how to create a shooting calculation with just your reticle and simple math.
6. Equipment choice and proper setup for long range and how to get your rig shooting 1/2 MOA or better.
7. Scope type, magnification, and scope choice and how to get the most adjustment from your elevation turret. How to read your reticle (mils and MOA) and use holdover.
8. Using a spotter and shooting without a spotter.
9. Long range shooting application and practicality during domestic wartime or civil unrest. (It's a shame I have to even cover this but I feel due to the current political climate its necessary).
This is going to be a skill set worth knowing if we, God forbid get into a civil unrest situation in this country. As I'm sure some of you know, we are also very close to World War III and it's not that far beyond possibility that we could have boots on the ground here in this country. So just having this in your toolbox is just another thing that's going to enable you to greatly enhanced chances of survival in a situation like that.


Day 2 - AT THE RANGE
A full day of long-range shooting and putting these methods into practice.

PRICE? A course like this would be a fair amount of work to cover comprehensively and do correctly. We are talking 6 to 12 hours of classroom teaching and 8-10 hours of shooting over the course of 2 or 3 days.
I feel $400 per person would be fair. This would include all the days and also my personal cell phone number for students to call at anytime for questions or a refresh. Im a gunsmith and I would be willing to include a full rifle setup as well (basically this would be you coming out to my machine shop and me helping YOU set up your rifle to shoot long range).

I think this price for the amount of work I'd be putting in is more than fair.

I need a min of 12 people to sign up.

I will give one guarantee. That if you take this course and you apply these methods as I've taught them, then you will be able to hit a 10 inch steel plate at 1000 yards 1st or 2nd shot (depending on the accuracy of your rifle of course). This I will promise. If you cant with your rifle you will be able to with my 1/4moa 300 winmag)

You are likely undervaluing yourself with what you are offering for 400 bucks.

Since the OP has not been active since early October, don't have too much hope in the class actually happening...
