For anyone wanting to learn long range shooting techniques or simply improving your hunting accuracy I highly suggest you check out Jason's training.

I took the first class about a year ago and learned the fundamentals of ballistics and techniques and Jason guided me all the way out to 800 yards! I had previously only shot my rifles out to 100 yards and he made it easy so don't be intimidated as you will be the only one at the range with him for 1 on 1 training - just do it!

I took another class yesterday to hone my skills, learn positional shooting (sitting, kneeling, using multiple structures for rests) that we encounter while hunting and he had me consistently hitting targets from 200 to 500 yards. He also took me through multiple drills where he would call out a range from 200 to 800 and I had to shift and shoot using only the reticle. I hit more than I missed and my misses were due to my incorrect wind calls. It was awesome, educational and a heck of a lot of fun!

Again, don't be intimidated if you've never done this, that's the purpose, and Jason makes it easy for anyone to understand. Accomplished shooters will also learn a great deal and a great opportunity to get 1 on 1 coaching to watch your form and get immediate feedback on shots.

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

I plan on doing it this year. I'm interested in the improvised hunting positions class as I plan on doing a West Texas Mule deer hunt this fall.

Not hardly, I've seen you shoot along with Walter, Kyle and many others. Plus, you've got that super-duper new custom that I can't keep up with. I'll be happy if I beat Mike. bolt

It will be fun seeing everyone. cheers

Jason, that light bulb did come on a few times...even though it was a bit dim.

Do it, Scott. You'll learn a lot and will have a heck of a good time to boot.

Mine is 3.5x10 vx3. Lightweight and simple. I get the mil/mil scopes are more versatile. I have 5 of them but I like the low profile zero stop turret and the light weight of the CDS for the rifle I have to carry around. As long as it on to 400 yards, I'm happy. What I have it on at 400 yards, I'm down to 1800 fps which is minimum I need for reliable expansion.

There is plenty of both in Greenville, 20 minutes away.

Scott, if 400 is as far as you want to go, and you want to use that scope, that is what we'll do.

I've got one advantage that my reloads will all be consistent. I think yours will have a few squibs mixed in. eeks333 But don't think about it too much.... clap
