Experience Overview

The L101 LR Ballistics Foundation course has been further refined for 2022, but draws heritage to the original Long Range Hunting class curriculum we introduced in 2007. With today's sophisticated equipment and enlightened shooter, our content is continually improving and diving deeper and deeper into the details our clients require to enhance their journey to long-range shooting excellence.

The main focus of the L101 LR Ballistics Foundation course curriculum is to teach our clients the core knowledge and techniques to select and set up a long-range shooting system. This course focuses particularly on external ballistics and the necessary skills to create and use a trued ballistic profile. This course is designed to apply to any and all shooting equipment, not just the specialized "Gunwerks" systems that are used exclusively during shooting exercises.

All shooting equipment is provided by Gunwerks. Using Gunwerks rifle systems and ammunition for this course facilitates and accelerates the learning process. This allows the student to focus on the core class content and leave equipment concerns to the instructor. 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 the L103 Equipment Readiness course if you are wanting to qualify your rifle.

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 two days of this course.

Long Range University Overview

Long Range University
Our course curriculum is always evolving! Over the past couple of years, we have developed a new organization of training content, facilitating a more focused and progressive learning experience. Now our courses are organized into two parallel tracks, Ballistic Science and Marksmanship Skills, culminating in our Advanced training courses.

 
Ballistic Science

The core Long Range University curriculum is contained in our Ballistic Science track. We place a heavy emphasis on the science of long-range shooting. Generally, you will spend time in the classroom introducing concepts, followed by range demonstration and exercise to solidify complex topics.

Marksmanship Skills

The second track is our Marksmanship Skills track where we place a heavy focus on developing shooting skills. Light on the classroom, these courses spend most of the time teaching practical applications on the range.

Advanced Training

When you are ready to test your skills, we offer several advanced courses to challenge you and your equipment in calculated conditions to refine your experience and capabilities.  From mountain shooting venues to pronghorn hunting in New Mexico to a precision rifle competition, we can offer you the opportunity to achieve the next level.

Training Headquarters

Burlington, Wyoming
Gunwerks Training Headquarters was developed and constructed in 2013 on a 250-acre parcel that was designed specifically to facilitate an immersive training experience. The range features a known distance set of steel targets out to 1,000 yards and an array of practical targets for multiple shooting exercises. The heated and air-conditioned classroom with full amenities enables quick transition with a few short steps from classroom to shooting drills in our covered shooting bays.

The facility is located in Burlington, WY approximately 45 minutes East of Cody. Students are responsible for transportation to and from the Gunwerks Training Headquarters. Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before scheduled class start.
