Defensive Edge Long Range Shooting Class - 3

As to shooting tools, we also used super-accurate .22 caliber bolt action rifles on two occasions to study wind drift and practice our shooter/spotter team technique. Shots were taken at small-scaled but realistically shaped steel silhouette cutouts of deer and elk.

Over the 3 shooting days I fired nearly 100 shots out of my 6.5x284 rifle at distances from a few hundred out to about 1,200 yards. The others in the class had 338 EDGE cartridges and scopes with mounts set up for shooting out to 2,000 yards.

Numerous LongRangeHunting.com members have attended the Defensive Edge Long Range Shooting Class in the past. Here is a forum thread By "Broz" (Jeff) and his take on the class. Since he lives out west in God's Country, he has had a lot of opportunity to shoot beyond 1,000 yards prior to taking the class. His shooter experience would be of the Advanced classification.
