best value precision shooting course?

[dryfire]

Yes very true....key being that you are practicing good fundamentals that have been learned from good resources. Then shoot all you can and make every shot count for something. Too many times people will say to get a .22 and 10,000 rounds of ammo and you'll be great...this is not the right approach. A .22 is a good cross trainer for some fundamentals but not all just as a .50 is good for some but you will fight others.Train in such a manner that you cover off all of the fundamentals and some rifles/calibers are better at some than others.

Without straying too far from the OP, what fundamentals would you say are better learned using a .50 vs any cartridge with considerably less recoil
.223,308 etc ?

If you want to learn how to shoot LR precision, consider driving up to KTSA for some of their winter league shoots. They are shooting most every Sunday and will be helping out juniors so there could be an opportunity to get some help.

For learning the fundementals, you want a nice small chambering. 223/6BR and lighter kicking rifles are best. Recoil management is another step in your development but you must first understand the basics.

The shooters you will see in Kamloops are top tier Canadian shooters who actually compete on a provincial, national and international stage.

Before taking a course, find out what the teachers have actually done. Also, where you will be shooting. There are no ranges further then 600m in BC at this time so where can they teach you to shoot 1000yds?

As they say, there are plenty of fast cars. Not too many fast drivers.

Longshot is a good guy with lots of experience. If he is into training, take him up on it.

Also contact the BCRA for their intro days. More very talented shooters.

But more then anything, the best teacher is going to be you putting lead downrange. There is no other way to be proficient. You can't buy skill.

Not saying any fundamentals are "better learned" on a .50 more that your fundamentals will be put to the test with a .50...such as recoil management and flinch.
On the same note at the other extreme a .22 lacks feedback to test/train recoil management however is great for trigger control and 'watching' your shot through the scope.
The .223 and .308 are what I train as well as .338 Lapua, and I train and test myself on different fundamentals with each caliber.
Keeping with common calibers easily accessible in a decent factory rifle, I like good ole .308 as it shoots easy but has enough recoil to keep you honest.
You can go back and forth on all kinds of variations, but I do believe some good instruction is money well spent. Yes you can't buy skill, but it doesn't happen on its own either.

The OP wants to stretch the legs on that new LRT and doing it with some instruction would be a ton of fun and would hopefully show some immediate results.

Definitely talk with Rob there is a wealth of knowledge there and he enjoys helping true lovers of the sport. As for those who state that you can not even see the target at 2000m, you need a better scope.
