It is official, Rifles Only is headed back to Michigan in August to teach another 3 Day Precision Rifle 1 course. The demand for this was overwhelming so we set it up again. Spots are limited. Check out our site for more details: Courses details
Hope to see some of you there.
 
I will be there, helping out for the three days. Bring your questions, criticisms and discussion topics.
 
It's a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday class if my schedule is correct.

Looking to see if I can get a few people together for the class.
 
I missed this last year due to a family vacation, but not this time around - just registered a few minutes ago.

I've signed up for the class too. Anyone familiar with the area that could recommend a hotel. I'd like to get that out of the way sooner than later.
 
The range is in the town of dorr not much there. Your best bet will be holland or grandville would be my rec. Bunch of places to eat in both. Dont miss bunker hill just west of the range on 142 street great burger and fry.

I stayed at the Microtel in Holland for last years class; good price, clean room, fine bed and good wifi LOL. Food and entertainment is just a couple minutes away and I think the range was about 20 minutes IIRC. Jacob is a great instructor, your going to enjoy the class...

I did a little AAR last year, starts on page two with pics taken by Graham and Lisa

Any hotel near Highway 131, on the south side of Grand Rapids, should work well. Maybe try in Wyoming, MI, at or near the 54th Street exit.
 
Signed up for this class. Very much looking forward to starting to learn the basics from well-regarded instructors (Jacob, Graham and others). This is just what I needed, and it is reasonably close. I did not want to miss the opportunity.
 
Ok here's the deal. If I'm going to put 300 rounds down range I'd like to at least have the "Jewell 2 stage Trigger Remington 700" If I find this soon, I will sign up. Backorder everywhere I've checked.

Sorry, Only have the X-treme shooting two stage. Thankfully it's back in working order. Either way, we are getting close. Getting pretty excited

Ive been signed up for awhile. Had a friend sign up as well. I cant wait for this. See you guys there.
 
Don't forget a properly adjusted sling for positional shooting. Jacob loves sitting/kneeling and alternative positions. This year at the Bushnell brawl there was a 400 yard kneeling stage on a 9x12 steel target... Which would be excellent use of a 500m range.

Been a few years (7) since I had to snap in for hours. Be easy on our knees please? I will start practicing now.
 
It won't be for hours. Jacob has a relaxed, easy-going style.

But bring your questions because I have seen him fix bad habits and provide methods to those who have physical handicaps/issues, like muscle tightness due to surgeries, eyesight problems, and even missing limbs.
 
Nope. It's full. But it couldn't hurt to call Lisa and see if anyone has backed-out at the last minute.
 
Day 2 is in the history books. Class is going well. Positional hits on steel at 500m today. Maybe someone will post pics.
 
A HUGE thanks to Jacob and Lisa for coming to Michigan again this year for another PR1 course. Here are some pics of the training that took place.

I'll try to get a better (read: needlessly long-winded) report up at some point in the next few days, but in short, this was easily the best money I've spent in the pursuit of precision rifle shooting. Jacob, Lisa, and Graham are great instructors, the information presented was straightforward and easy to understand, and the interaction with other students was a ton of fun.

If we are so blessed as to see the return of this course next year, I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the midwest (and in fact, I'm already working on talking my wife into taking it).
 
Well said E. Bryant, excellent class.

Graham, just now going through the course disk. Wow! Tons of useful information. Thanks for putting it together.

You're welcome. If you send me a PM with your e mail address and I will send you the info on CCW in Michigan.
 
This is the second time I attended this course. It is really THAT GOOD! My thanks goes to Graham for arranging this and making it happen. Jacob and Lisa are the dynamic duo. In my profession, over the past 30 years, I have had much interaction with educators. Jacob's skill at transferring knowledge both efficiently and effectively is remarkable! He does this and is funny as hell too! What else could anyone want if they are truly interested in learning the fundamentals.

"Believe the Bullet!!!"

Thank you. See you at the Brawl!!!
