Have you given the online training here on the Hide any thought? It's good info that can ensure you're starting with a solid base.

Re: Long range school

Why can't you use the cross hairs on your mildot scope until you learn to use the Mildots?

That way you can practice with you Mildots when not shooting.

Re: Long range school

I do ust the crosshairs . And I do know some mildot well realy all of it as long as i use my phone or I pad just would like to learn it like they teach it in the service . I talked to Mark at NightForce and he recommended the Velocity Retical under 300 bucks to swap it out . I Just thought someone around ware I live would have a class . I found one online but you have to use thare rifle . They garrinte 1000 yard . But from what I gathered they dope the scope and let you ring the dong at a grand. They do offer a opinion to buy one of thare guns at the end of the class for Eight Grand .and it's a 30 338 cal. Or some other cal. And I don't reload yet I would like to learn that as well from someone. I want to learn my rifle and the 308 round before I move up. Also the class is out west that's ware they all Are from what I gather . If any body around me would like to do some one on one teaching I would deff b willing to pay and drive to them.

Re: Long range school

Sorry for the delay, Randy.

There are LOTS of difference ballistic apps available so, you just have to figure out which you like best. I use iStrelok and although I have to input all of the bullet data manually, such as the BC, it's free and it suits me just fine. If you don't mind paying $30, from what I've seen and read...the KAC app is pretty nice with all the bells and whistles.

Concerning training, as kraigWY stated, you really should check into the Snipers Hide Online training before taking a long range class. It's $140 to get started and $10/mo thereafter.

In response to your question/comment about my rifle, it's a full POF*USA P308; upper and lower.

Re: Long range school

I really want to go to a few classes and learn, I think it would improve my skills quite a bit. Also, after shooting yesterday that i really need to hit the range a little more often. I don't shoot as well as I use to even though part of my problem is I shake pretty bad for some reason.

Go up to “my Stuff” at the top of the page and “Subscriptions” will be in the drop down. That’s where you can set it up. For a newbe it may sound expensive, but it’s well worth it.

Re: Long range school

Check out the Rifles Only website. Precision Rifle 1 and 2 are excellent courses. They can be attended one at a time, or you can sign up for a combined course. I went to the 1&2 combo course in Oct of 2011. I learned more in those 6 days than I had in the previous 40+ years of poorly self-taught shooting. I was hitting the 1000 yd target on day 3, when I previously could not think that far, and hitting 400 yd movers with confidence.

I cannot recommend it highly enough. Great people who have forgotten more about weapons and their implementation than I will surely ever know.
