As long-range shooters, we have milestones in the sport. We start at 100 yards. Most make it to 300 yards, and then we all want that 1000-yard impact. So what do we go for after that? Well, here is your chance to knock out that elusive 1-mile impact and have a full day dedicated to true long-range shooting. We will have our ELR firing line fully set up out to a mile (1760 yards)
Who is this class for? This is for the shooter who is looking to push their rifle and ammo to the limit. We are making this a 2 day course to allow any level of shooter try their hand at this class and not feel like they are being left behind.
