SoCal Marksman Training?

[ct4surf]

Hi Guys,

Just bought my first hunting rifle, and wondering if there are any resources in SoCal (private instructor or range) that can help me advance my marksmanship at long distance.

I've been plinking with my ARs out to 100 yards, but I am looking to really improve my skills at 500+ yards. Just having a difficult time finding a range with a class or instructor that can help in that area.

Any info is appreciated.

No I did not, thanks!

Says at the bottom only .308 or higher though, and I am shooting win 270.

Ask them. Are they really going to turn down a paying customer becasue he doesnt have the right caliber?

Not that I don't think the link Super Set suggested, but before you blow $250 and jump into the ring of fire head on, build your rifle properly, take it to the range and get familiar with it and at least get the feel for it.

THEN refine the skills with that class.. I think taking that class right off the bat is jumping in with both feet and a LOT to take in and be over whelmed with and quickly forgotten if you've never shot a rifle before. Also a lot of baby sitting/teaching for the instructor to teach from literal day one.


Make it easier on him and you and get it set up properly, hit the range a few times learn how to shoot it, then take that course and let him refine and polish your skills.

OP, if you are using it for hunting don't worry about 500 plus yards. Work on 200 and under.

Good advice, thanks. I'll bring it out to the 100 yard range first before I do anything just to get a feel for it.
