Speed3, sending you a pm.
Costs vary with number of students and what we do, hit me with an e-mail or PM and we can discuss your specific requirements.What is the cost?
The rifle/optic/ammo needs to be capable of consistently shooting groups of less than 1" at 100 yards. Too much error makes it impossible to be precise enough to learn anything.Minimum caliber requirement (if that even makes sense). I assume 308 and 300WM would be fine? .243?
Round counts vary greatly. Two or three people shooting together will use less ammo than a single student. More experienced shooters will be smoother at handling things, thus maintain a quicker pace and we'll burn more ammo. This time, things went smoothly and we wasted very little ammo tinkering around, plus wind conditions were pretty ugly and we spent much more time in wind analysis than actually sending bullets. Sometimes, we will have to troubleshoot gear or shooter problems and we can burn a greater amount of ammo getting things straightened out. I recommend bringing 100 rounds per day and that way we are always prepared for the best or worst.How much ammo did you go through?
This is where the ham dogs really come in handy.Sounds like a great time. You can't beat mixing fun with learning.
Shooter numbers depend on what we are doing. The long range stuff is best worked on one-on-one, in pairs or three person teams. I have professional/business accounts that need to send 4-6 at a time and we can accommodate this, but I really prefer to keep it smaller.How many shooters is he willing to put up with in one day?

I'm scheduled with Ed next month and this just make the wait more exciting.
A .243 set up to shoot heavy (>105) boat tail match bullets is quite functional and I have my daughter shooting a fast twist (1:7.5) .243 and 105 Scenars at about 2,950. A .243 like this actually outperforms a .308 at 1k and she shoots hers to good effect to 1,200 or so. A 'standard' .243 varmint rifle will be set up for lightweight varmint style bullets and the rifling twist is typically too slow to stabilize the long heavy bullets needed to shoot longer distances.
What is the heaviest .243 bullet one could expect to get decent long distance accuracy with coming out of a 1:9 twist barrel?
Thanks
In the second to last pic you can see the 1000+yard target at the top just at the base of the trees
lol yes it was. You sure you were there ? hahah There was 6 targets going up the right side there. No wonder why you couldnt hit it......
umad?
