As a lifelong shooter, I can remember the days of “shoot-spot-shoot-spot” attempting to walk my shots onto target at longer ranges. This usually resulted in frustration, unnecessary wastefulness of expensive ammo, and fewer impacts on target than I would have liked. I eventually started the process of researching an understanding towards long range shooting, but as many others do I found it to be somewhat overwhelming with techniques, suggestions, and interpretations coming from every corner of the internet.
My participation in PRS style shooting as well as work that immersed me in this niche of the shooting world resulted in nationwide travel to competitions and events working with match directors, manufacturers, and some of the best shooters in the country, learning the nuances of a successful PRS match and applying my own spin on these concepts to modify and simplify. My goal is to make this as user-friendly and easy to understand as possible
Eventually I was approached with the opportunity to teach long range precision shooting classes, and not long after was selected to join the Manners Composite Stocks shooting team. I’ve been very fortunate to have forged healthy relationships across the long range shooting industry, as well as to be able to spend my time teaching others how to do what I enjoy so much and be able to do so on a regular basis.
