Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Shooters:

This is an excellent course, and taught by somebody that knows. If your a new shooter, or a old one who has picked up bad habits over the years, this is the course for you.

It's a great intro into LR shooting, with a variety of targets out to 950 or so yds. Some of the most fun you can have with your $300. east of Vegas.

Natural point of aim, trigger control, breathing, and finding your comfort zone behind your stick, data recording, reticle reading, et al, are just a few of the skills that you can learn to master with this course.

Coming to class with your rifle actually zeroed correctly @ 100 yds, is very helpful, and will save gobs of class time.

Only one note of caution, you will need to bring your English to USMC Dictionary: as Little's various grunt's, harrumph's, and Who Raha's have there own subtle meanings that are generally lost on the genteel set, without a translator.....

Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

If any one is in the dark about taking one of Sean's classes, you will not regret it. PSR I is a very good class to build on the fundamentals or break old habits. If I was still in the area I would not hesitate to do it again.

I hope to be able to make the drive to one of the PSR II dates. Sean is a great teacher guys and this classes are very good deals, especially if you are Mil or LEO.

Plus he is just an all around good guy!

Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

I was in the last cohort and came away from the class a much more confident rifle shooter. Never having shot much beyond 300 yds before, I was able to reach out and touch targets 800+ by the end of the weekend thanks to Sean. It was also good fun as Sean attracts a great group. Get out there and do it.
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

How often do you offer this class? I am very interested, but my work schedule looks like it will not comply for that weekend.
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

I just canceled BW PR1, and signed up for your class! Thanks for answering all my questions today Sean. I am looking forward to shooting with you.

Sean, thanks again for the info. Jake passed it along to me. I too just did the online form thing on the website. Really glad we were able to talk you instead of 2nd hand info. I'm really happy we switched over from the BW PR1 course.

Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

For the guys going to this class you are in for one hell of a good weekend, Sean is a great teacher, go with an open mind and ready to learn.
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Sean: awesome class this weekend! Perfect weather, great bunch of guys. We all learned a lot, and finishing with a first round hit at 960 is priceless. See you at part 2 !
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Anybody wanting to learn and then apply what they have learned, this is the class for you. Sean teaches with a real world aspect and makes clear the objective. The guys this weekend were all first class, we had a real good mix of skills and knowledge and the instruction given was clearly understood by all. I loved it and banging steel at 960 was sweet. Had a blast guys.

Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Hey Keith
Great to meet you and Ashton this weekend, I had a great time with you guys and everyone did really well. Look forward to seeing you guys again, and I am sure that Ashton's phone bill has gone up since he got Jazz's number!! LOL!!
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Sean does a great job with his classes. Lots to be learned and a great instructor. You will know it when you need it. The price you pay, pays you back when you need it.
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Hey Sean,
I talked to Ashton and he said you were right his phone bill has gone up, he said JAZ was telling him "I dont understand why Sean wont return my phone calls". Let me know what's the real story.......

Later
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Hey if anyone has any pictures from the class please post them up here and email me copy's to post on my site, thanks!!
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Will do Buddy as soon as I can get them back, thanks again I really had a blast and learned alot
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Sean,

I had a great time, even if I discovered I have some serious equipment problems. Those will be rectified, and soon. I usually expect at least one ass in the crowd in that type of class, but the whole group was a delight to be around. I learned a lot and will start putting that info to use as soon as my equipment issues are settled.

I did want to mention that I noticed that with all the trouble you had with names that Jazz's name was the only one you did remember. Ha ha!

Ashton (a.k.a. Asshat)
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Ashton: 1st post on the Hide and it's a reference to Jazz? That's a hoot!

It was good seeing you in North Carolina. Are you ready for the three day?
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Has Sean looked at this? this is funny stuff......I guess you had to be there.
 
Re: Precision Scoped Rifle I - Oct. 23/24

Hey guys,
Had a blast and yes you guys are so funny, ha ha!! Looking forward to seeing some of you guys again in January, I will be emailing the outlines here in a day or two. I will make a note of it, if I could only find my marker?
