This class will be limited to 15 shooters
This course will run 4 days and will spend two of those on high angle long distance shooting. The first two days will be fundamentals, positional, platform building, and alternate positions.

Yeah, but it's cheaper than crack, and a lot better for you.

Re: Mountain/ high angle/ high altitude training.
Awe, Crap! May is ASC, and I'm in for that and two additional weekends-off that month.
I would sign-up, but I don't want to give my employer the satisfaction of letting me go...
I have, however, vowed to do one of these high-angle thingies.
'Was counting on Nevada last year.
But I'm willing to wait.

Re: Mountain/ high angle/ high altitude training.
Yesterday, I visited the training area to be used for this class. It is by far superior to any other piece of terrain I have ever trained on.
If you are looking for experience in angle shooting you will not be disappointed.
The facilities are also second to none.
Other plans prevent me from attending but I will keep this on my A-list.

Frustrating to hear that I will miss this.

Re: Mountain/ high angle/ high altitude training.
I'm going to this one and I have an ammo question.
I'm issued 168 AMAX rounds for work and will be using them for the class. Should I get some 175 SMKs for the longer targets, or just do my best with the AMAX 168?
