L2 Advanced Ballistics and Wind Class
Experience Overview
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 Eotvos 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! Check out our Shooting System Readiness Clinic if you are wanting to qualify your rifle. For your convenience this Clinic is offered the day after most of our L2 Classes.
This is an advanced class and even advanced shooters will struggle if they do not have the foundational knowledge taught in the L1 class. For scheduling convenience we schedule a L1 class immediately preceding every L2 class.
