    Dan Newberry at Bang Steel

    I have taken courses with both, and both do a good job, but with different approaches.

    Both will run you out to over 1000 yards.

    Great info.. I am looking to do a one day class at Bang Steel. Trying to get a few others that would be interested. I sent Ed a message about his class. He said he was taking a little break for some health issues.

    My bad. I did a search and I never did an intro either. :facepalm:

    Then again, maybe we never had an introduction section in those days. :evilgrin3
    Says the 23rd member of MDS (and I'm guessing the number is actually lower, as some were DD214 dupe/test accounts) who signed up in the first month or two of the forum.

    You probably could have just gone with "John" as I bet it was free then.

    Are either of these good for beginning sniper training?

    People wanting to be/learn how to be a sniper join the military and go that route. Long range shooting is another. Good luck in your quest.

    The best "beginner sniper training " is USMC Basic Training . The best " advanced sniper training " is USMC Scout/ Sniper School .

    Thanks! Signd my son and I for the March 10th-11th clinic at AGC. I have never even heard of project Appleseed so I appreciate the information.

    Make sure to read through the getting prepared section of the Apple seed website. You will get much more out of the clinic if you already have the rifle sighted in and have the gear. If you need something make sure to let them know.

    Learning to shoot is 1 thing. Learning to make a ghille suit, laying in your own piss for 3 days waiting to take a shot is another.

    Normal course is 2 days. And you really want 2 days.

    Day 1 to learn. Overnight to mull over what you learned. Day 2 to put it together, and learn more.

    I know the 2 day would be better, just finding the time to do two days which will be more like 3 days with a couple overnights too.. I will see what I can work out, haven't signed up yet. Trying to get some others to go with me.

    So my military buddy took a 30 day sniper course in Indiana? He was making 1,000 yard shots on moving targets. 300 WM was his choice of flying death.
    Yeah, piss and feces was a real thing.
