Badlands

win mag · Apr 18, 2011

I just got back from the Basic Long Range Precision (sniper) Rifle Course given at Badlands. I am very impressed. Last Monday I got my first bolt gun. Thursday was the first day of the class. I told Bobby that I was very green with a scoped gun,then he promised me I would be consistantly be able to hit targets at 500 yards at the end of instruction. Friday the wind was in the fiftys so very little shooting was done. Saturday I qualified out to 600. Later that day my partener and I were ringing the iron maiden at 1000 yards. Sunday we shot a cold bore noted a 100 yard zero and put the 700 yard dope on the rifle. My partener calculated the wind I put it on the gun and sent four rounds through the flapper it less than 30 seconds. I cant say enough for Range Master Bobby Whittington and Rifle Instructor Steve Suttles.

Is this one of the certificates you bought from us? Did you tell that to Bobby?

Sounds like some great shooting - got any pics?

Win Mag,
Was a pleasure having you down here! You did very well sir. I hate that we lost some trigger time on Friday, but 50 +mph winds. B.S...Yes he told me that this was a certificate he got from here..I am glad to support this site. Toymaker I gave B.S. a couple of certificates to auction off to raise funds for this site..Might be about time to do that again so stick around sir.
