NOTE: The rifle, scope, scope mount, and ammunition you bring to class will define your experience. Match ammunition with a high ballistic coefficient and low velocity SD will ensure you get the most out of the class. Scopes without target turrets and MRAD or MOA reticles will limit your effective range. If you don’t have a rifle, scope, or ammunition suitable for long-range shooting, reach out to us for a loaner and match ammunition.
