Long Range Pistol (4 Hours)

Overview

You practice and train with your pistol regularly for defensive and or competitive scenarios. Your skills are refined; your shot placement is where it needs to be. Up close that is. The time has come to break out of your comfort zone; refine those skills well beyond the 25-yard line. The long-range pistol shooting course will give you the marksmanship skills matched with the confidence to effectively place shots on target at long range. Upon completion of this course, you will have the required skills and knowledge to fire your pistol at distances beyond the 25-yard line. If you are a defensive shooter or competitive shooter this course will give you the edge you need to make that long shot.
