Mid Range Rifle

What You Will Learn

The Mid-Range Rifle course at Thunder Ranch is designed to extend your shooting proficiency from 100 to 700 yards, with a focus on achieving first-round hits, particularly within Danger Close distances of 0-300 yards. This comprehensive training will push the limits of your rifle and scope combination, ensuring you maximize their potential.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of spotting, providing accurate corrections and calls for your shooting partner. Additionally, the course covers shooting in wind, dialing in scope corrections/DOPE, as well as holdovers using the reticle.

Anticipate shots from the prone position, where most of the data is gathered, then you’ll primarily engage in drills that simulate field conditions, requiring modified shooting positions. This course is highly beneficial for both new and experienced shooters, offering the opportunity to collect valuable data on your rifle’s performance at extended distances.

The Mid-Range Rifle course emphasizes practical, real-world shooting applications. You’ll face various scenarios that test your skills and equipment under challenging conditions. Good scopes mounted to reliable actions are recommended. This course is designed to refine your marksmanship and overall capability with your chosen rifle.

NO MUZZLE BRAKES. Suppressors are welcomed and encouraged.
