    Nearly $2200 NZ to learn what you could by attending a couple LR shoots for peanuts put on by forum members? Trust me there is nothing you could learn off them that couldnt from forum members and attending a couple of shoots. Go to the Auckland gong shoot and you will be surprised what you will take away from it.
    You would either have been bluffed or have way too much money to attend that cse, my personal opinion of course.

    haha yea it is alot ...but i was just gathering some thoughts and opinions. in the process of putting together my own (first) LR rifle at the mo and saw that. thought it might accelerate learning or possibly be of interest to you guys. but maybe not hahaha. good to know that we got some volunteers to teach me too!!

    lookn at your avatar you don't need a lot of teaching
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    I made the mistake of attending an Auckland gong shoot - made some great friends, drooled over some nice gear, shot some of the nice gear, went from thinking 200yds is a long way to thinking 600yds is doable.......then bewarned have spent a shitload of money since Long range is addictive & very satisfying. R93 is on the right track.

    I like the advert for that course, think it went along the lines of "learn everything you need to know to hit a clay target with your 1st round at 1000m" or something like that.

    So, I googled and came up with this:

    Precision Shooting Canberra - Shooting.com.au

    seems to be a positive write up... As others have said its a lot of money, so I will not be the one to write up the NZ course.

    2k for a 5 day course isn't unreasonable but what would you really take away from it that you couldn't learn through being around others that shoot long range ?I would also ask anyone considering these courses to ask your self why? Have you watch Sniper one to many times on DVD or do you think there are areas that they will cover in depth that you cannot find yourself with a search engine or by asking your peers ?
    Well there probably are things to be truthful you could learn on one of these courses and those would be more around body mechanics and natural point of aim and trigger pull if the tutor was any good.
    Other things a person interested in LR shooting will do is read about most subjects on the net as most things are very well covered in many forums -in particular SnipersHide which caters to the serious tactical shooter ,hunter , plinker and whatever else you might class yourself as .One other major factor in doing a course worth this money you would want to come away with more than the basics if you are already a competent marksman -1ST round hits even with experienced shooter doesn't always happen as we well know as there are many variable that come into this equations and they keep changing especially wind .Wind will be the one that kicks your arse more than any other factor in long range shooting .Only long hours behind the gun in different terrain will train you TO handle wind and the signs to look for like movement and mirage and even then you'll still eat plenty of humble pie
    I would attend a course if I had bucks to waste but I would I come back a better shooter -maybe a bit maybe not and I would rather spend the 2k on another bit of kit and go and practice more with my peers and discuss performance or that lack thereof with them.Bottom line if your not going to do a course of some sort shoot a lot with other enthusiasts that have a clue --come to the Auckland gong shoot as R93 suggests if your close enough to come and quickly gain some good knowledge for free!!!

    flying up to auckland and back several times to learn to shoot seems equally un-economical if thats the point your trying to make... whats with the weak "sniper" dvd referral u got going down there? and for the internet search issue...i have used google before and thanks.
    man i was just putting it out there no need to run me down or hint at my dvd collection... i work in western australia , come back infrequently to nz so it was more a time thing for me to learn as much as i can as quickly as i can while im working away

    Na, unless gut shot it can still be done. But who cares really when a wash sorts it. It was important when working on machines not to get blood everywhere. It wasnt a good look if you had loopy's to do later on and it looked like you gutted an animal inside the machine. Which happened when you had a newbie on the job.
