We’ll focus on proper rifle setup, understanding your rifle & optic, baseline shooting fundamentals, getting comfortable behind the rifle and pushing out to distances you’ve probably never gotten to opportunity to shoot to before. A Kestrel 5700 Elite will be loaned out to you for the duration of the class so you can learn how to set up a profile and generate rifle data.
We’ll discuss ballistics, wind reading, hold-overs/hold-unders, rifle truing, spotting techniques, etc.
