Experience Overview

The L202 Marksmanship Proficiency course is a new course for 2022. Historically, Gunwerks has focused on teaching advanced ballistics and technology with just a little focus on marksmanship. New for 2022, we have created a separate training track with a laser focus on marksmanship. This new format gives us the necessary time to break bad habits and replace them with proper techniques. The driving force behind everything we do at Gunwerks is to provide the equipment and ability to ethically take a shot, at any reasonable distance, under any reasonable circumstance and time constraint. The main focus of the L202 Marksmanship Proficiency course curriculum is to teach the student how to build positions in the field which allow them to take advantage of the long-range capability of our rifle systems. In this class, we focus heavily on the Revic Tripod and the Gunwerks Tripod Sling. Used correctly, these two pieces of gear can double the range from which you can ethically take a shot from a field shooting position. This course is designed to apply to any and all shooting equipment, not just the specialized Gunwerks systems that are exclusively used during shooting exercises. L102 Marksmanship Fundamentals is strongly recommended to be taken before or alongside this course. Ballistic Foundation sets the stage for advanced wind and techniques taught during this course, most shooters will find themselves overwhelmed without building this foundation ahead of time. We employ Gunwerks rifle systems and ammunition for this course to facilitate and accelerate the learning process, rifle rental is included in the price. 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.

LRU Training Tracks 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.

To round out your skills development, this experience is best followed up with L301 Mountain Shooting Techniques

Sheep Mountain Range

Cody, Wyoming
Our Sheep Mountain Training facility is located approximately 30 minutes West of Cody in the Absaroka Mountains. Nestled in the heart of the Absaroka Mountains the rugged terrain offers breathtaking views of Buffalo Bill Reservoir and combined with the unpredictable weather patterns in the area, make for a realistic and challenging training environment. This location offers significant mountain wind conditions, steep terrain, practical shooting platforms, and extreme long range target opportunities. We've been training long range hunting for over 15 years and this is one of our favorite field shooting ranges! Sheep Mountain is the ultimate location to prep for your next mountain hunt.

If your course requires access to the upper platforms, we use brand new Jeep Wrangler 4X4 vehicles to transport people and equipment to the ultra-rugged shooting stations. For most of the courses and competitions we hold at this location, we prefer the students to use their equipment as an opportunity to gain confidence while stress testing personal gear. The Jeeps are setup with bed caps and truck vaults to safely store your equipment while traveling.

Some courses will be based solely on the lower deck. Students will be allowed to drive their vehicles to the site.

We hope you enjoy shooting the Sheep Mountain Range as much as we do!

No. However, if you are a beginning shooter we recommend you take the L102 Marksmanship Fundamentals prior to this course. Within the sequence of our courses, we recommend this course after the L201 Advanced LR Ballistics and before the L301 Mountain Shooting Techniques Course.

The class will start at our Burlington Facility. If the weather and conditions permit, Day 3 will be run at our Sheep Mountain Facility. If the conditions do not allow this we will run similar exercises at the Burlington facility on Day 3.

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. You will utilize a Gunwerks Magnus LR Shooting System chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a suppressor and topped with Revic 5-25 scope.
