Thunder Valley Precision
For quite a while now I have been surfing the web to locate a place where I
could shoot and excel in my skill level. Around home we are able to shoot
and compete out to 880 yards. So I was glad to have a place that we could
shoot 1200 yards and beyond.
I spoke with Tom Sarver and then geared up for the trip. The best thing
was my 24 year old son wanted to come and shoot also, so we could shoot as
partners!
We arrived, had our meet and greet, and discussed what was to be
accomplished. Tom has an agenda but yet he tries to gear it towards what
the individual’s goals are. I could tell from the first moment, from what
was seen as far as the range and shooting stations and Tom’s demeanor, that
we were in for a great time.
After checking over the equipment, we confirmed our zeros. Then it was off
to the 200 – 1200 yard range. We made a log book that showed the intended
verticals to use, as well as any corrections. We then logged the correct
settings and set out to test them, as well as our skills, on the intimidator
range. There were four positions with four targets each. The targets were
all set up on mini-mountains and across valleys with challenging
crosswinds. Talk about fine-tuning your setup, shooting form, and logging
notes throughout the day. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect setup.
Within the two days at TVP, we shot the Intimidator three times, each with
different weather patterns - winds, overcast, sun and more wind! A ton of
info was gathered while shooting the rounds and repeating them in the
varying conditions.
Technically, we gained more knowledge as precision shooters in two days than
anyone back home could gain in years of shooting. Tom also took the time to
cover any type of questions thrown out, be it shooting, gun builds, load
development, and reloading.
The bottom line is that we left knowing our equipment was 100% and our skill
levels were excelled from what we expected.
We had a 1,600 mile trip and it was worth it. I’m looking forward to coming
back to experience what Thunder Valley Precision has to offer again.
Equipment used
– Barrett 338 Lapua - 5-20x50 Vortex Razor Scope
- Remington 308 - 700 SPS ACC – 4-16x50 Vortex PST Scope
