long range rifle training

[punker39]

hi i am looking for some info on where i can get some long range rifle training (500-1000) yards around the area around indy or places around the country that any one has experiences with.

I would be interested in knowing this also.

If you take Barrett's Long Range Basics class I think you shoot out to around 2000 yards. They rent rifles.

TDI in Ohio has a Precision Rifle class that shoots out to 400 yards.

Tactical Response in Tennessee has a Precision Rifle class that shoots out to 700 yards.

There are others around the country, but these are the programs I am most familiar with.

Tac Pro near Dallas, TX and Rifles Only in southern TX are the two places I'd go.

There's also Tiger Valley (TJ PIlling's place) in Texas. And the Badlands in Oklahoma (Glock21 and his buddy Angelo have been there).

I'm trying to swing the tactical response course in nov. it's pretty solid from what I hear.

Run by real snipers in God's Country. They even have rifles to use for their class if you do not have one yet.

Do a search for Rifles Only... they are about the best in the business.

Don't ignore Appleseed. Granted, most of the actual shooting is 25yd range, but the skills translate to centerfire nicely. This will take you out to 500yd effectiveness. There are four shoots in Indiana this weekend; though Cloverdale is sold out, Lafayette, Wabash, and Evansville have room on the line, and Riley has a shoot next weekend. It's a bargain at $70 for both days, too.

PM either Hawkhavn, Usafe7ret, Techres, or me, or go to appleseedinfo.org/as_schedule for more info.

Blessings,

Badlands Tactical in Oklahoma, learn from an ex-Marine sniper. It was a damn good time.

I have to agree with this statement. What you will do as an experienced shooter at an Appleseed is reinforce the basics. This will serve as a basis for any other formal training that you may continue on with. I understand that an Appleseed shoot may not be the type of course you are looking for but what you learn at an Appleseed will help you to better learn from any other type of long range shooting you decide to go with. That way you will have the basics down and ready to make the most of the info given rather than trying to overcome some basic issues during your high priced long range course.

I would definitely consider completing an Appleseed event before (not instead of) paying big money for a more purpose-driven precision rifle shooting class.

Holy crap! I visited that Long Range International web site mentioned a couple of replies ago...that is one seriously cool option. Long Range International

I don't seem to be able to google and find "TDI in Ohio" is this an abrev. for something?

I took my 13 year old son to this class. At the end I was shooting my FN .308 into a 4" circle at 500 yards. My son was shooting his Remington LTR .223 into a 8" oblong circle at the same distance, say 6 x 8 area. Before the class my 13 year old could not even hit the target at 100 yards.

Appleseed is a good way to learn the basics of rifle shooting.

Another way familiar to thousands of Junior shooters is small bore target rifle. The saying, "that the road to 1000 yard accuracy starts at 50 feet" is as true today as it was 75 years ago. Indoor 50 foot and outdoor 50 and 100 yard matches are held all over, every weekend, somewhere. Smallbore prone at 100 yards is every bit as challenging as full bore at 1000 yards. Cheaper too..

The $600 Kimber 82 Government available from the CMP is a great starter rifle for prone or position smallbore.

If you only want to shoot centerfire rifles, there are mid range matches held frequently around the area. Hitting the center of the 300, 500, and 600 yard target is great practice for the move to 1000 yards.
