Defensive Edge Class Participant

I particiapted in the class this past weekend. It was a real eye opener at times. Before the class I had never shot at distances much beyond 400 yards. Now in a no wind situation with a good rifle and opticsI feel confident that I could reach out to 700 yards or farther. The class really teaches you how to read the wind. If you cannot read the wind and dope it out you will not have much success.

The guys in the class were great to work with and Shawn and JR did a superb job of teaching and setting up the class. They are both very skilled in the art of long range shooting.

I would encourage anyone that is interested in learning more about long range shooting to attend one of the classes. It is a lot of fun and your meet some great people.

Sid,

Here is what you have to have for the class:
A rifle capable of shooting 1" at 100 yards consistantly.
A quality scope with repeatable target knobs.
The ability to shoot 60+ rounds a day through the rifle (a brake is a good idea for this as well as others)

You don't have to have these but will figure out by the end of the class you need them:
Bipod with lock
Lightweight rear bag
Anti cant level
Cheekpiece for 50mm + scopes
Muzzlebrake to spot your own shots

If you have any other q's feel free to drop me a line.

I really enjoy just reading about it. I have no doubts you all had a great time.

Shawn, what is the max number of people you would have in a one class?

Great shooting guys!

10 is the most I can handle with JR working as well.

Shawn, on the recommended "bipod with lock", are you referring to a pod lock? If so, why is it needed over just the regular swivel bipod?

Class looks like lots of fun, maybe I can make one someday. Thanks, Ken

I just really like the pod lock. I just can't get the thumb nut to tighten up enough for my tastes. Most people that get a pod loc in class see a big difference in their performance. Hope to see you at a class someday.
