LRH Group Mountain Hunting Shooting Class

Join me and my son, Andy, in the Wyoming mountains this summer - Fri, Sat, Sun - August 1 to 3, 2014.

I am very excited to be helping Robb Wiley of Non-Typical Outfitters in presenting his shooting class that will help you kill more big game. I have been so impressed with the instruction he gave the LRH Group Hunts participants last fall and this spring.

To read about the shooting instruction he gave our LRH hunting group for a few hours before our hunt began click the following link. Lots of good pictures there too. Len's 8,000 Foot Wyoming Black Bear

Below is Robb's description of the class.
==============================================================
Here at Non-Typical Outfitters we have a focus on hunting one animal and taking that animal with one shot. We have developed a class to help our hunters obtain the skills for that one shot kill. This class is a practice of practical field positions for effectively killing big game with one shot. It has an advanced focus on the tools needed to take your field shooting to the next level in rough mountainous terrain. This class will give you the tools to make that one shot count, whatever the terrain, the animal, or the mountain throws at you.

In today's world, hunters have built points for years, spent thousands of dollars on their gun, optics, tag, outfitter and other equipment, and spent time at the range shooting in order to prepare for that one chance at the animal of a lifetime. What is often neglected are the skills to take that one shot in asymmetrical, rough mountainous terrain off of an improvised rest, in a very short timeframe. Or what 80 percent or more of western shots consist of. Robb has combined 20+ years of working in the outfitting industry in mountainous terrain, his own hunting and killing of thousands of predators, as well as his work with the top special forces units in the country to bring these field techniques to you.

Robb is not only proficient at killing big game, but spends countless days in the winter hunting predators that requires speed, proficiency, and deadly accuracy. Every shooter who attends this class, whether you are a long range hunter, short range hunter, seasoned veteran hunter, or new to hunting, will learn the field positions that are a must for successful high mountain hunts.

Hunters head out to the western mountains envisioning the perfect prone position setup where they have all the time in the world to dope the wind and set the drop on the scope. Less than 10% of the time does it actually work out that way. Most often, when Mr. Big Boy presents himself you may need to shoot at a steep downhill or uphill angle, seated, off of shooting sticks. Robb will teach you how to make that shot when a flat prone position is just not available. Come prepared to shoot. You come prepare to shoot one hundred fifty to two hundred rounds while taking shots common in hunting scenarios.

These three day instructional sessions on practical aspects of shooting in the mountains are set in the epic mountainous landscape of western Wyoming, and all accommodations are included. Accommodations are a modern tent camp with a shower and a generator for lighting and recharging any batteries. Horses are used for access to the high country shooting areas.

Practical field positions will be taught to you. You'll also have a chance to shoot prone but this will not be the main emphasis. Participants will be shooting steel targets at various ranges from up close, off hand shots to ranges out to 1,000 yards. We will cover moving targets, adjusting for wind, adjusting for shooting angle, advanced ballistics, terminal ballistics, how to manage your gear on the mountain, how to turn what gear you already have with you into a solid rest for 3/4 minute accuracy, among other things. During these classes, Robb will be shooting his own rifle along with you to demonstrate these techniques.

Focus will also be on making these types of shots in a short time frame. When that giant, once in a lifetime trophy presents that one shot, speed may be essential. Whether you are hunting the high mountains, the high desert, or the low country, you will be able to take the skills that you develop in this class to become a better killer.
