FlashAndPoof Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm considering getting into long range shooting. Was wondering who some of the best instructors would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashAndPoof Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Oklahoma. I only know of Badlands Tactical in SW Oklahoma which is one of the schools I'm considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerjunky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I just left the badlands class a few weeks ago. I have trained with them twice. They are a great group of guys and once you train there you will be back. Bobbi runs a big boys training class. They don't stand over your shoulder and baby sit you. They give you the tools and let you figure problems out yourself. I highly recommend them. Also once you pay for a class he welcome you to come back to all of his classes and help out if you want to. The hardest part of shooting long range is sitting behind the spotting scope. The trigger man has the easiest job. I shot to 600 working 10 shots of my zero round. The next day was banging 1k pretty easy. If you have any questions about them or there facilities (which are awesome) let me know.

lee blackman Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) K&M Precision in Tennessee, specialized facility that hosts the annual Gap Grind PRS competition... Hands down first choice. Edited April 21, 2016 by lee blackman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6x47Kevin Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Look up Oklahoma Practical Precision Shooters on Facebook. They have monthly matches. Great group of guys, some of the best LR shooters in the country. They'll be more then willing to help out a newbie. Show up and shoot a match with what you got......you'll learn a ton.

TRG65 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If you want to travel to WV, peacemaker national training center, they run courses providing all the gear and ammo. You can decide what you want after the course. https://www.nraoutdoors.com/schools/long-range-school?eventid=63 I know the LR matches they run are good events and the guys that run them are good shooters. LR equipment decisions are pricey and resale isn't always that great. There are so many good options now be sure you get what you want and won't out grow to quickly.

427Cobra Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Rifles Only in Kingsville Texas, if you don't have a weapon with a decent scope I recommend renting one from them along with using there ammo, 5 day course and you'll live on the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicat30 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I will 2nd K&M i have been twice and would go again they are top notch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkeymcgee Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I would also highly recommend Rifles Only in Kibgsville. If there was anywhere I was going to go spend my money for a class it would be with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 An alternative route would be to look into NRA competitions on KD ranges. You would learn a lot. You could shoot with a sling on a standard target or shoot F Class on that target. You cant have a comp on the rifle but depending on the range, they might put you off to one of the sides and let you shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckfarris Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Another vote for Badlands. Bobby and Steve are amazing instructors and a wealth of long range shooting knowledge. I have taken their basic and advanced long range courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil G Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I took the Rifles Only "Precision Rifle 1 & 2 Combo" five day course last month and highly recommend it. Jacob Bynum is an outstanding instructor and has a great facility in Kingsville. I would go back in a heartbeat! Phil G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oinco Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 If you like the idea of being in WY, can't say enough good things about Colorado Precision Rifle/ Brian Whalen....he uses the Competition Dynamics facility outside of Douglas WY where the SHide Cup was a few years back. Lots of rounds downrange, no ego or attitude, lots of good wind. We had 0-55mph to play with last time i was there. I think he even has some rental rifles if you just want to show up and go. If I did it all over again, I'd sure like to "arrive/drive" a number of times then buy hardware- would have saved me about $XXk+?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfiddy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Rifles only. Great facility, great instructors, some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I'll be going back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickChewing Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 K&M Precision in Tennessee, specialized facility that hosts the annual Gap Grind PRS competition... Hands down first choice. Couldn't agree more. Classes taught by Rifles Only are top notch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acespeedy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Rifles Only, Jacob is an excellent instructor and the shooting facilities are fantastic. The bunk house is a great deal as well. Took PR1/PR2 combo class, the return on your investment will pay for itself. JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token3495 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Another vote for Core Shooting. I took the Advanced Precision Rifle Course with Scott Satterlee up here in WA. Great course and he brings in other top shooters to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down first choice. I live about an hour from this place and didn't know it existed until a few weeks ago. Looks like a great facility with a wide range of classes. I plan to take one next year.

sfogold Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hard to beat "Rifles Only" in Texas. They also holds events at California, where you can shoot with the NCPPRC team and in Colorado as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
