The Buffalo Nickel

The L1 and L2 courses normally take four days to complete. Our combined L1 / L2 Foundation / Advanced Ballistics and Wind Class extends the length of the training day and delivers four days of content in just three days. This is an intense schedule with long days, but this "Total Immersion" concept quickly enhances your skills and expertise.

The L1 Long Range Ballistics class has been further refined for 2025, but draws heritage to the original Long Range Hunting class curriculum we introduced in 2007.

• You will learn how to select the components necessary to create a reliable long range shooting system which includes the rifle, scope, ammunition, and ballistic program.
• You will build a solid foundation in the skills necessary to shoot accurately at long range.
• You will learn how to true and utilize a ballistic program to get first round hits at varying distances, and learn about all the shooter and environmental factors that impact your lethal hit probability and decision making.

Our L2 Advanced Ballistics and Wind class was refined in 2022 but draws heritage to the original Long Range Hunting class curriculum we introduced in 2007.

• You will learn how to compensate for the effect of wind. How to determine its speed and direction, using a wind meter, mirage and/or environmental clues, then make the appropriate compensation.
• You will learn about all the advanced external ballistic factors which affect your lethal hit probability including air density, shot inclination, spin drift, aerodynamic jump, Coriolis effect, and Evotos effect.
• You will learn how to utilize a “smart” laser rangefinder to get a precise range and a shooting solution which accounts for all the advanced external ballistic factors and wind effects.

The rifle and equipment fee is automatically included in the registration. Please do not bring your personal rifle for this course, we've got it covered! There are no prerequisites to attending this course. Complete beginners to lifelong shooters and everyone in between will build a solid foundation in long-range shooting and ballistics during the three days of this course.
