New addition to my level 1 course

[Barbourcreek]

Barbour Creek long range Level 1 Plus is a 3 day course

Day 3 is designed for you to shoot your own rifle or ours if you don't have one.

Shooting outdoors from alternate positions, reading your own wind and using the ballistic rangefinder for your data.
This course is designed to make sure your rifle setup is correct or show you what is wrong and how to fix it.
Level 1, days 1 & 2 are unchanged, adding the day 3 for you to use your gear and train outdoors using a tripod, bipod, fence support shooting ect.
This course will help prepare you for immediate hunting success.
Of course our level 2 is the pinnacle of all the courses we provide as you progress through our long range training.

I love this idea. I'm was hoping to get to your side of the country to take your level 1 course in the next year. I will definitely opt for level 1 plus instead.

"Level 1 and Beyond"?

"Level 1 Magnum"?

"Level 1 Pro"?

Why not rename all three classes?

Level 1.0 originally Level 1
Level 2.0 originally Level 1 +
Level 3.0 originally Level 2

 

[Rick Richard]

Change the existing level 2 to level 3 and name the new one to level 2

 

[deputyrpa]

Is the intent to require the Level 1 course as a prerequisite to the "level 1+? If so, then having an intermediate Level 2 of 3 serves the intended purpose. If the intent is a choice between Level 1 and Level 1+ as introductory courses requiring no prerequisite for either, then calling is "Level 1" something would seem to be more appropriate. It's just the coffee.

Thanks for the input
Intent is to allow students to use their own guns in part of the level 1 adding a day for them to do that.

Call the third day of level 1, Proving Grounds. If I understood the original post, it's going to be out on the course, not in the shoot house, real hunting type scenarios.

 

[deputyrpa]

"Level 1 Focused"

"Level 1 Specialized"

Kind of long winded.
The level that will make you want more "and we provide it"

 

[Chaotic]

Took a class that had a 3rd day as an extra. They simply calle it that "3rd day of Precision 1". You added it at the time of booking.

Why not rename all three classes?

Level 1.0 originally Level 1
Level 2.0 originally Level 1 +
Level 3.0 originally Level 2

This makes the most sense, and is just logical.

Do you plan to still offer both the 2 day and the 3 day Level 1 Classes? or do you intend to simply replace the original 2 day class with the 3 day class?

If you still plan to offer the 2 Day Level 1 Class, then I think Level 1 Plus is fine and makes sense for the 3 Day Version.
And if you keep the 2 Day Class, then I really don't think naming the 3 Day Class Level 2 make sense - since it's not really the next class you should take.

^^Agree with LuvDog.
