2027 SHOOT2HUNT UNIVERSITY – CLASS 2

Class Dates June 6-12

The class is $4000. We require a $2000 deposit 

WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE REST.

The 0-600 yard course is the foundational aspect of killing game animals on demand. It is a “whole system” process – you, the rifle, the optic, the mounts, the ammunition, and the equipment; utilizing optimized techniques and processes to prioritize consistency of outcome and speed. The process is biased towards durability over time – which techniques result in less drop off of skill/ability over time.

This is not a “basics” class as most would think of it. Yes, the foundational aspects of field shooting are practiced at length, but it is used as a way to create a conditioned response to shooting.

OUR APPROACH.

All aspects of shooting- from handling, loading, unloading, reloading, and firing is trained in-depth, as well as alternate field positions, medically validated terminal ballistics, exterior ballistics, and App use; Kestrel/weather meters, individual and optimum partner communication and flow, glassing and spotting shots, corrections; backup or emergency plans for data, ranging, and environmental, etc.

WHY WE DO IT.

This is an intensive, in-depth field shooting course that is designed from the ground up to make killing animals from 0-600 yards on demand, under time and stress.

Note.

You will shoot a significant portion of the course past 600 yards, and out to 1200-1400 yards depending on setup.

GEAR LIST

Our “rule of thumb” for what you will need for this course is the following: bring the gear you hunt with! Bring the setup that you currently or plan to hunt with, minus food and cooking gear.

RIFLES

You will need to bring two rifles to the course. First, your “hunting rifle.” Bring whatever rifle you would bring on your dream hunt. Second, your “training rifle.” Bring a low recoiling rifle for training and practice, we recommend a .223.

Both guns will be bolt guns.

Please note that a suppressor for your training rifle is required. If you are bringing your own rifle but cannot acquire a suppressor please let us know.

AMMUNITION

150 rounds of ammunition for your “hunting rifle.”

1000 rounds of ammunition for your “training rifle.”

If your rifle is mag-fed, we recommend bringing at least 3-4 extra magazines.

OPTICS

You will need binoculars and a rangefinder. If you have rangefinding binoculars that is great. You just need both of those capabilities. A spotting scope or tripod mounted 15x binoculars are highly recommended, but it is not required.

SHOOTING GEAR

Bring the pack that you hunt with, your hiking sticks, ear protection, and a shooting mat. We also recommend front and/or rear bags.

CLOTHING

Please bring the clothing you would hunt in or that is durable enough for field wear and enough to make it through the week. There is a possibility for cold weather, so we recommend bringing some layers as well.

Make sure you have comfortable boots/shoes for near constant movement.

SLEEP

Please bring all necessary items for you to sleep comfortably. We recommend bringing a sleeping bag and pillow. Although there may be a few beds available, we recommend planning to sleep on a cot.

APPLICATIONS

We recommend that you purchase and download the Shooter app for this course. Please download it and familiarize yourself with it prior to the course.

FOOD + SHELTER

Three meals per day will be provided by our hosts! Feel free to bring your own snacks, but food and water will be provided.

You will have either a bed to sleep on or a cot in the hangar on the ranch. There are a few beds adjoined to the hangar, but it’s first come first serve!

RENTAL RIFLES + AMMUNITION

We understand that not everyone will be able to bring their own rifles and ammunition. Many of you will be flying from across the nation, so bringing 1000 rounds of ammunition is not exactly possible. Please read through the following information regarding ammunition and / or renting a rifle.

RIFLES

If you have a small caliber rifle that would be perfect for the “training rifle” role, but cannot acquire a suppressor, please let us know.

AMMUNITION

We recommend any .223 cartridge with a bullet of 69 grains or higher.
