Rifle Hunt Prep & Tailored Hunt Prep


COURSE DESCRIPTION

HPR’s Rifle Hunt Prep course was designed for rifle hunters who want to enhance their rifle competency and ultimately improve their odds of harvesting animals at extended ranges. We believe that a hunter who understands the Fundamentals of Marksmanship, ballistics, wind-reading and positional shooting can be extremely lethal, depending on cartridge of choice, out to 700 yards on vital zone / game sized targets. We typically run Hunt Prep as a two day which provides classroom instruction, wind reading terrain walk, live fire data collection, alternate firing position target engagements, and culminates on day two with instructor “guided" live fire hunt scenarios.

This course focuses on Extended Range target engagements to better help hunters establish their own “Ethical Range Limit” based upon their Rifle Fundamentals and comfort with their rifle platform & cartridge of choice.

* Offered in a Private training capacity which allows us to “Tailor” your class based upon the animal you are pursuing and the terrain you will be hunting in.
* We also provide Open Enrollment training opportunities as well
