Ok Guys,

I finally have the class schedual for 2008. These dates will hit the website in a week or two but I wanted to give the "guys" and early shot at the dates.

June 21-22 Basic long range hunting
July 19-20 Advanced long range hunting (Limited to 6 people)
August 16-17 Basic long range hunting

For more Info on the specifics of the classes, content and requirements go to the 2007 classes at Defensive Edge long range hunting Classes 2008 . Several members from this site have attended if you would like an outside opinion. I am sure they will chime in if you have questions.
The advanced class will require in addition a 4 wheeler to access the areas we will be using.

Shawn,

What does the advanced class offer over the basic course? Should a guy have gone through the beginner course first?

[Shawn Carlock]

You will have to have had the Basic course before getting into the advanced. The advanced class is all field shooting in hunting situations and locations. I have scouted and shot a number of these locations in prep for this class. I had wanted to run this last year but did not have the prep work in.

Is the course still $300. I might be interested in coming to this. Its quite a haul but if its worth it I could use some vacation time for it.

Also has anybody on this forum been to it. I would like to see what others have thought of the classes.

thanks
Lucas

Hi Lucas,

I took Shawn's basic course last August and I couldn't be happier. In fact, if I can swing the vacation time I plan to sign up again. For $300, I learned an incredible amount of information. Shawn and his crew were personable and helpful, and I came away with the confidence and ability to make shots at far longer distances than my personal limitations previously allowed.

If you're anything like me, you will find it time/money well spent. On day 1, Shawn had us at the range getting our rifles sighted in and taking shots from 100 to 1150 yards. On day 2, he had us out in the woods shooting steel targets... in the mud and rain, at distances out past 900 yards. He also had people paired up, doping the wind and spotting for each other. Talk about "real-life" experience and practice!!

I thought it was a great class. But don't take my word for it - take the class, and let us know what YOU think about it.

-Brian
