Guest instructor will be a good friend from the Finnish Sniping community, who has been actively shooting and winning military team matches for many years, and is a gifted shooter and coach.
He helped run my Multi-gun 3-Day/2-Night Course in September, and was a great resource to have with a totally different perspective on long range shooting, which will also dovetail well into this Winter Sniper Course. This will be a very practical and technical course, with a great amount of information being dumped over the 2-day period.
I use a certain method for teaching classroom work without interfering with any range time that has proven effective, and is being used more and more now by others. I also like to keep the classes small, so I can have more 1-on-one time with attendees.
We have 1640yd, 1000yd, 600yd, 800yd, 1100yd, and various field fire ranges that reach through and across canyons to work with there, all complete with steel.
Attendees can expect to cover down on the DM Skill Set, as well as what I call the Light Sniper concept if you are looking to bring more gun. The course material and range opportunities will support both skill sets in terms of shooting, so if you would just like to learn the DM Skill Set, or hit DM in winter conditions to see where your capabilities and limitations are, this will be an excellent opportunity at a world class facility.
If you want to get more formal training on reaching out with your bolt gun or precision semi-auto, including 1000yd and beyond, in cold weather, this is also a great opportunity. We will cover the basics on flat ranges, then move into positional shooting. There is more steel at North Springs than you can shoot in a week, so targetry is unparalleled there.
We will then move into field shooting positions in rough terrain, where you really don't have many places to shoot prone. Here are some pics from a few places at North Springs from previous courses I have run:
These are the 1000yd (L) and 600yd (R) flat ranges, with steel every 50yds from 200yds on out. Excellent for learning what you and your system can actually do on a well-defined range.
This is what we call "Over the Edge", where you shoot from a cliff across the canyon to steel targets all over on the other side. There are around 18 positions including roof tops, a car, barricades, loopholes, cliff spurs, and other natural vegetation to shoot from at various steel targets at distances from 100yds on out.
This is Buffalo Canyon, where you have steel targets from close range out to 800yds, with some natural targets at 1100yds.
