Long Range (1,000 yards) Rifle Class - 9/10/16 - Piru, CA
Are you an experienced rifle shooter? Ever wanted to see if you could shoot and consistently hit a target at 1,000+ yards? Then this is the class for you! This will be an old school style class taught by former law enforcement and special forces snipers, no Kestryl meters will be used. There are limited spots available for this course (10 slots max) and the cost is $200. Payment can be made by cash, check, money order, credit cards, or prepay through the website ahead of time. Spots must be reserved by September 1st at 5pm. A deposit of $100 will be required to reserve your spot in the class. Should you be unable to attend the $100 will be credited towards a future class. Shooters will need between 75-100 rounds for the day. Everything will be done from the prone position, bipods are allowed. We will teach you how to read the wind, proper zeroing of your rifle, adjustments for various ranges, and range estimation. To reserve your spot in the class a deposit must be made through the website here. The class will be held out at Piru, CA .

Wouldn't using your CCW at a 1000 yrds be hard to prove as self-defense in court

This is the first time class that is being offered. Additional ones will be held and scheduled based on the feedback and sign up rate. The class will take you through zeroing your rifle and the other basics you need before you start shooting at 1,000 yards. The whole class is designed to take say an average hunter and show them what they can do with their rifle. Varying distances will be shot: 200, 600, 600-800 random distances for range estimation, then finally out to 1,000 yards. Make sense?

Very interested...
What equipment are we going to need? (slings, spotter scopes, laser range finders etc etc) Also, calibers allowed? (bolt and semi ok?) I'm honestly thinking about bringing my .50bmg out, but I can always fall back on a .308 thanks |

You can use whatever caliber you wish, as long as it is realistically capable of handling 1,000 yard shots on a consistent basis. Bolt or semi is allowed. No laser rangefinders, we are teaching old school range estimation and wind reading. You will need around 75 rounds of ammo for the day. Slings, bipod / sandbags, shooting mat / pad, spotter scopes / binos, snacks, drinks, folding chair, and weather appropriate clothing. All shooting will be done from a prone position. Let me know if you have any other questions.

How did the class go? Any AARs to share?

I am surprised no AARs from this class. At the class we had 9 of the 11 registered shooters show up. Started them out with classroom time and had them zero their rifles at 100 yards. Then we started walking them out further and further with 10" steel discs. Most common caliber was .308 on a Remington 700 platform. Had a 338 Lapua, 300 Win Mag, and a 270 on the firing line as well. Everybody learned new things, some more then others. By then end of the day about half of the students were consistently hitting a silhouette at 800 yards even with the swirling wind. Real good bunch of students out there that made for a very fun day.

I am not in a position to do this right now but is there a beginner rifle course that you have to take before this one? I am a total noob at long range stuff.

This class can handle all skill levels. Everyone from beginner to experts will learn something at this class. As long as you can zero your rifle at 100 yards we will work with you and teach you how to improve your range from there.

Just settling in from today's long range class.
The instructors were all great guys and had a lot of good advice and stories to share. I learned quite a bit of new information and helped reinforce other info that I thought I already knew. I enjoyed the preshoot class time and I think it helped reinforce the skills needed to hit the 1000 yard gong. I think reinforcing the basics (especially the breathing and CONSISTENCY) really helped me. The coaching at the firing line was helpful and the class size was the right size to be able to have a good instructor to student ratio. Someone was always around, watching, and available. The instructors were all very patient with us. Food was good and we were well taken care of. Thanks again to Darren, Eric, and Dennis (and Dennis' wife (I apologize I forgot your name)). By the way, all the shooters hit the 1000 yard mark today!! I will be looking forward to the next class I take with these guys and highly recommend it. |

Thank you for the great feedback. Class was a lot of fun, and having everyone hit the 1,000 yard gong makes it even better. Thank you also for your email, I will be sharing with with Eric and Dennis as well.

Class Report
"Number two ready" I called out. The instructor responded "Number two
. Send it"
I calmed my breathing, checked that both ankles were down and that my grip was good. Held the sight picture and squeezed. Then waited for what seemed an eternity for the bullet to get to the target and for the sound to come back. The ding of the hit was music to my ears. The class was awesome! I normally shoot 100 yards and felt it was quite a stretch to do 1000. Now I would feel very comfortable trying that again on my own. I highly recommend this class to anyone considering it. You wont regret it.

You can use your apps and drop charts. Just trying to teach you how the old school way is done so that the other apps and tools people use are not a full requirement every time you shoot at long distances.

So does anyone know if this range will be open for Target Practice on May 20th 2012? i try to call the ranger number and press 2 for target shooting but its hard to determine if it says as of may 10th is it now open or Not open....kinda odd, any help would be great.

This is not a range at all, but private land that I have the permission of the land owner to use for training. That could explain why you were confused on if this is available for target shooting or not.

Class runs from 9am - approximately 2:30pm. Weather varies as you are at 4,000 feet above sea level. August will probably be fairly hot. I bring pop-ups and extra ones certainly don't hurt.
Yes, you can bring a shooting mat, in fact it is encouraged that you do. Terrain is a valley that was an old grass runway from many years ago. It opens into a bowl area so learning to read the wind is a big part of the class. Plus at the end of class I usually grill up tri-tip for everyone that attends which seems to be a great end to the day.

A quick note for 5 Arrows... I sent two of my instructors to the LRR course on 08/25/12.
The following is a report I received on the instructor: Lead instructor was a Marine Sniper Team Leader very knowledgeable and not only spoke from experience but is also able to teach from his experience simplifying tactic and technique as if he has been a mentor for both new and experienced students before. I would definitely attend another class taught by the lead instructor (Former Marine Sniper Team Leader). Overall, my attendee said "The 5 Arrows Company was great group guys." Thanks D-Man for your class!
