Long-Range Class Overview

  • review ballistic data inputs and calculations
  • truing drop with ballistic programs
  • transonic considerations and BC
  • gyroscopic (spin) drift and Coriolis considerations
  • anti-cant devices/levels and their importance
  • techniques for calling wind
  • prone shooting position
  • trigger control and follow through
  • Testing your system: live fire
  • observing shots and shooter-observer dialogue
  • long-Range qualification procedures

NOTE:  You will not be qualifying during this class, but by the end of the class you will have all the tools to qualify and you will be shooting to 1,200 yards by noon on Sunday, if your “system” is up to the task.
You will be shooting both days, so you will need your rifle and ammo on the first day. Lunch break will be only 45 minutes, so bringing your lunch is recommended as it is too far to get to a restaurant. Class starts at 8:00 AM on day one and 8:30am on day two. Please arrive early and be ready to start on time. Day one should end around 4:30 PM, day two should be done by 12:00 noon.

Long-Range Class Prerequisites
Members must be BRRC mid-range or long-range qualified and you must have attended BRRC’s mid-range class since June 2017.  Non-members do not need to be mid-range qualified.  Being able to shoot from the prone position is highly recommended.
