Retirement getting close....... practice trip North Country Trail from Pennsylvania up through Allegany (About 20 Miles) Then the second half of the Northville Placid Trail (Lake Durant to Lake Placid about 50 miles) then I'm coming out west to do some day hiking in the Tetons and Yellowstone...

Let me check with Brenda, see if I can switch to that weekend.

Hi Len! Please forgive my ignorance with posts etc. I'm not very forum and blog savvy. I'm disappointed I won't be seeing you and Andy this summer. I'm still in the learning process with long range shooting, and will definitely need help with the sight-ins and dope for the elevation I can't...

Hi Len! Will you and Andy be at the August 10-12 Shooting Class? mpm

Thank you again to all who have responded so far!!! I'm looking at an Osprey Atmos AG 65. I had a serious neck injury at work and have had several surgeries. I need a pack that distributes the weight. this one seems to hug the hips better and not pull on the shoulders and upper back. anyone have...

Lots of good stuff here!!! thank you so much for the quick replies. As soon as I chase the rookies off my range I'll take a good look at everything. I have a lot questions, and there looks to be a lot of knowledge and experience here! Mike Milbrand

Hi Len! Glad to hear you've obtained most of the permits you were looking for. Retirement is getting closer every day for me, I'm planning two short trips this summer, one on the North Country Trail, that one is about 30 miles, more of a get familiar with my equipment trip. Should I not become...

With my retirement looming I have several bucket list trips planned. One being an Elk Hunt with NTO in the fall of 2018, another being a long range shooting school this summer with NTO, and Len and Andy Backus of Long Range Hunting. However I've been thinking real hard about jumping back in to...

Just received email from Brenda (NTO) this morning with some dates for next summer's shooting classes, can't wait to get back there and build on what I learned last summer! mpm

Hey Charley! your welcome! I understand where you are coming from. Most of the deer I have taken were 100 yards or closer, with really only one good buck out further than that. Most of the area where I hunt is thick cover that doesn't really afford long shots. When I went out west last summer I...

Hi Charley! If You plan on doing any kind of a western style hunt, I strongly recommend chatting with Len, and attending one of the Long Range Shooting schools hosted by Len, his son Andy, and Robb Wiley of Non Typical Outfitters. I attended the three day class last August, and I plan...

Hi Len! Thanks for the reply and kind words. I will be picking your brain in the near future for what I'll to get my rifle customized and ready to go. I have no doubt I'll be in one of your shooting classes next summer, maybe you and Andy can show me what I need to do. I'm not sure if you have...

Hi Len and Andy! I hope your group elk hunt with NTO was a success, I was tossing around the idea of joining you next year if you have room. Brenda said it would not be a problem to move me there. I'm also 99.9% sure I will be attending another of your Long Range Shooting classes this summer...

I just attended the August 5th-7th shooting class with LRH & Non-Typical Outfitters. Len and Andy are top notch instructors and stand behind their rifles. I came to the class with very little rifle experience and no long range experience. They were very patient with me, and Robb Wiley of NTO put...
