Whittington Center - Antelope
Experience Overview
Two days of long range training at the NRA Whittington Center with the Gunwerks staff, paired with two days of 2 on 1 guided Antelope hunting nearby make for the ultimate opportunity to develop your long range skills and apply them all in one trip!
Experience the NRA Whittington center and all its amenities. Learn the basics of long range shooting with the focus on building your foundation. You’ll receive in-depth instruction on fundamentals of marksmanship and body mechanics to maximize the capability of any rifle system.
We discuss all the art and science of long range shooting, with the ultimate goal of preparing you for your hunt following the class. The longer days allow us to spend more time on the range conducting than in the classroom! Expect to come out of the class a more confident and capable hunter!
Gunwerks will provide snacks and water in the classroom. NRA Whittington Center will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner at their dining facility. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions ahead of time so that we can facilitate meals for you.
Students will be using Gunwerks Shooting Systems for the training course. Shooting a provided system allows us to avoid any equipment or setup related distractions and offer a consistent teaching environment with a laser focus on the things that matter. The Gunwerks rifles are suppressed and feature a REVIC PMR riflescope. Several models and calibers will be available for testing, but the workhorse is the Magnus chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. We encourage you to bring your own rifle for your hunt.
The course starts each day at 8:00 a.m. and we will conclude around 4:00 PM. You will be eating meals with the group before training each morning.
We will need the final payment completed two weeks before the event start date to keep the registration valid.
