RELOADING FOR RIFLE

This course is designed to teach the beginning reloader proper techniques of reloading. The student will learn the round components, cleaning, interpreting the manual, use of dies, assembling the rounds, and safety procedures Topics will include uniforming primer pockets, flash hole deburring, measuring chamber length, seating bullets off rifle lands, ogive, load development, neck turning, chamber pressures, etc.  The course is designed to teach the shooter to make rounds that will maintain a minimum of 1 MOA of accuracy at distance.  Sub .5 MOA of accuracy is not uncommon. 
-Day two of this course is field load development and is designed to take your precision rounds from the bench to the firing range. Proper basic bench/prone techniques will be taught to the student during this block of instruction. During the grouping stage the student will shoot his loads through a chronograph for group at 100 yards. The loads will be analyzed by grouping, extreme velocity spread, standard velocity deviation, etc.
-Upon completion of field load development, the student will complete the Steel on Target portion of the day.  The basic fundamentals on how to adjust for distance and wind while maintaining consistency will be addressed. The topics covered include how to develop a "dope" chart, ranging (both reticle and laser), wind reading, impact adjustment, calling your shot, etc. This is to give the student basic knowledge of applied ballistics and proper utilization. This is not a replacement of a tactical precision course. The average range the student will shoot is between 300 and 750 yards.

-The student may elect to attempt a 760 yard golf ball shoot as a confidence builder.  This shot is usually filmed and uploaded to the company’s YouTube account for viewing.

-This is a private 16 hour training session. Course price is $1250.  Please contact us to schedule your class.   The course can be modified to one full day if the student has prior reloading experience.

ADVANCED RIFLE

      This course builds on what is learned in PR I.  PR I and II can be taken back to back.  PR I is not a requirement for PR II if the student has prior experience.  The focus of PR II is on positional shooting and shooting under stress.  This training helps prepare both the competition shooter and the war fighter.  Special problem solving scenarios are presented to the student that requires resolution under time and in unnatural shooting positions.  Targets are at known and unknown distances.   A National Match or loop-type sling is required for the course.  Students will shoot slung, free hand, off barricades, through loop holes, and other positions that will prepare the student for rapid deployment of the precision rifle.   Ranging and milling exercises are part of the training.

M-STOMP
(Mobile-Shooting Tower Observation Multi Purpose)
-The M-STOMP  is a shooting platform built on top of a flatbed trailer.  It supports 4 prone shooters and elevates the shooter nine feet off the ground.  It is completely mobile and can be towed to any location for use.  All four corners have leveling jacks that make the M-STOMP completely level and stable with no swaying or vibration.  Overhead shade can also be created to make the shooter(s) more comfortable.  This platform can create hunting and shooting areas on property that was previously unaccessible.  NTRP can be hired to bring the M-STOMP to your property for a daily rate plus mileage.  Details, pictures and video of the M-STOMP can be found on the NTRP forum here:
