    Long Range Shooting Equipment
    Cartridge/Ammunition Selection
    Shooting Fundamentals
    Range Shooting Basics
    Rifle Cleaning and Maintenance
    Day Two:
    Rangefinding, Errors and Equipment
    Wind Deflection, Reducing and Reading
    Correcting for Air Density Changes
    Measuring and Correcting for Shot Angle
    Exploring Spin Drift and Coriolis
    Shot Placement
    Advanced/Field Shooting

    I hope we can adapt to our circumstances.

    This looks a lot like those private sniper schools they hav in the USA. Unfortunately the closest I think you'll come to that in SA is bisley.

    I'm looking at presenting it in possibly 4 or 5 modules over week-ends.
    1st week-end (100m); sighting, shooting positions, techniques, grouping, ballistic cheat sheet on each shooter's rifle/ammo combination
    2nd week-end (100m - 300m) ballistics, dialling in / hold overs, wind, known distance shooting.
    3rd week-end (100m - 600m) ballistics, dialling in / hold overs, wind, unkown distance shooting
    4th week-end (100m - 1000m) ballistics, dialling in / hold overs, wind, unkown distance shooting

    This of course assumes that we can find a suitable range at a reasonable price!

    I'll keep you posted on developments.

    Not too sure you'll find a 1000m range in Gauteng... Closest to 1000m would Genrl. Piet Joubert...

    Classic Shooting ranges is not the ideal for this type of training, one would like to have more than one backstop, but I trust Ross to sort this out & looking forward to it.
    Ross, any indication of howmuch I have to start saving up? (in Rands & Rounds)
