I am looking for a class that goes beyond 1000 yds... 12-1500ish, ,maybe more?.

Can't be tied directly to a rifle manufacturer.

Ideas?

We've got an 4 day XLR class in October that will run you out to 2K, if that works for you. 10/15 - 10/18, cal teh office and ask for the Sniper's Hide Special XLR.

I highly recommend Cory's gunsite class!!! I was there a year and half ago and it was excellent. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. You won't regret it.
 
Re: Looking for a long range class?

On a similar track to the OP's question, does anyone think it might prove useful to have an ELR Forum "sticky" as to what and where the ELR ranges are in the U.S. ?

With this information additional info could be added as to which ranges run training programmes.

Every now and then invites come over here to shoot in the U.S. National F Class comps and the ability to double head a trip to an ELR range in the U.S. to incorporate a bit of both types of shooting and to know where to find out this information woud be very handy.
 
Re: Looking for a long range class?

Please see http://elr-resources.com/page17.html for a list of the training companies (including state) that I have found.

Please advise if you know of others. The only criteria is that they train out to at least 1000 yards (worldwide if I receive non-US locations). Preferred if they have a web site but not manditory. If no web site, please include enough contact info for the listing to be useful to readers.

NOTE: I "may" do a Google to see if a training company appears to be real.

Thanks.
 
Re: Looking for a long range class?

Thank's for the "link" ... naturally allowing for the list being a "training" list this focus's on that ... my preference would be for a list of ELR "ranges" ... i.e. include none training facilities ... from experience I know that a lot of improvement in skill can simply come from "practise" as opposed to "courses" ... practise is always much cheaper too ...

Mr. Wilson:'

Possibly you'll find my "Ranges" page helpful.

Ranges are added (when I find them ) if they support shooting to at least 1000 yards. That said, access may be limited. In that regard, at the top of the listing I note, "membership and/or other fees may be required." Each of those ranges notes on their website, or has communicated to me via phone or e-mail, that access to the public is either open (for a fee) or open to members (and that memberships are/were available - at least at the point I contacted them).

I'd be happy to add UK ranges if you or Simon Lowe or others might have the time to research them and e-mail me ([email protected]).

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for.

Bayou Rifles in Houston has a 1000 yd range at the Juliff location.
