I'm not sure where to post this so I put it here...mods, please move as appropriate.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to get introduced to some excellent Precision Shooting Training with Lowlight (Frank Galli) and Mike from MHSA in MHSA's Precision Rifle Class. These guys know what they're about and what is needed to shoot well with precision rifles at distance. They are both excellent instructors.
This was a three day class that covered, and then practiced, many of the elements of precision shooting out to 1,450 yards, dealing with wind, elements of the environment affecting trajectory, and shooter fundamentals of marksmanship. Lowlight and Mike did an extraordinary job of working with a dozen shooters of various experience and skill levels. As a representative of the old farts age cohort with limited long range experience, I may have learned the most even if I was not near the most improved. We had a shoot-off on day 3 of two shooters who hit every target out to 1,450 yards with first shots that was won by a great guy who did the class with a .338 Lapua AI Maverick, narrowly beating out another great guy with a 6x47 Lapua. Both Frank (Lowlight) and Mike were exceptional instructors and the class content helped all 12 of us improve greatly.
I heartily recommend both MHSA as a vendor (they built my AI AT set-up last year that was a hammer) and their training as an excellent way to get started and/or move forward with precision shooting. While I was one of the laggards, I was able to hit a target at 1,250 yards, dealing with wind of 16+mph at the target and learning how to make good wind calls. Their training is exceptional and, at the price point, a terrific value. I recommend it with no reservation. I'm eager to do more.
Thanks again to Frank and Mike...I hope I'll have the chance to work with both of you again.
As a USAF puke (1968-1971), I'll simply say to them, "Keep the Blue Side Up",
