I went to Badlands and took their Basic Sniper course. I had a great time and learned alot. I would definetly recommend their school.
I've been really interested in this course if I could ever get the rifle and gear together.
If you don't mind me asking: What did it run you all together with fees, ammo, ect, ect?
Thanks

300 rnds? Dang, your shoulder must have taken a walloping during 5 days of 300 rnds unless you shot something say .243 or smaller.
What'd you shoot?

I took the defensive pistol clas last month great class. Really want to take the long range class next.
Who is mausermike by name?
The class was taught by Bobby Whittington and Steve Suttles.
I went through 300 rounds at the most. I shot my .308 win REM 700, Leupy MKIV 3.5x10x40 TMR M3, 1000 yards no problem. The wind can make it interesting; but the formulas do work well. It got up to 114*F on the second day and the winds were from about 8 to 32 mph during our range time.
I won a bid on a certificate through boomershooter on this site; so I got a great deal on the price. Plus, you can stay in Bobby's dorm/school instead of getting a motel room. It has some beds, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and tv. Plus they are some really nice people. I plan to take the second class next summer.
Equipment wise: I was shooting FGMM 175's through my rifle. 26" Hart 1-12 twist. It shoots a little fast so my elevation adjustments were a little less than some rifles of the same cal. 100 zero-29-31moa @1000 depending upon temp and if there is a headwind to cause lift.
I have a Nikon ED fieldscope it is compact; but the glass is very good. I like it for field use, I may get a larger one for the range. Those guys like the Nikon for the $$$ and quality. Get a tripod that is as short and stable as possible for spotting. I have a Slik that I bought from Precision Rifle Solutions.
I bought my shooting mat on sale through Midway for $50. Good deal. I was using my Harris bi-pod w/ pod-lock and a rear bean sock. You don't need fancy gear. It just needs to be solid and dependable.
