L3 Mountain Shooting Application Class
Long Range University Overview
Long Range University exists for the specific purpose of helping you make quick ethical one shot kills in the field. The core of our content is contained in our L1, L2, and L3 classes which utilize a building block approach to provide education and training in every factor which impacts your lethal hit probability. Interwoven throughout all three classes is a training strategy which will improve your ability to function under pressure and significantly extend the range and conditions under which you can take an ethical shot. At Long Range University you will learn to recognize when the conditions are not suitable to ensure a lethal hit.
Experience Overview
The L3 Mountain Shooting Application was introduced in 2021, and we revamped it by increasing it from a two-day to a three-day class. In our L3 class you will transition from the comfortable learning environment to a realistic training environment. Coming soon for 2026 is the option to add a 4th day that will consist of the Gunwerks Ruck N Shoot (or Ride N Shoot) Challenge Course. This event will be scored if you choose, or you can go through it unscored just for the experience.
- You will learn how to apply your wind compensation skills in a complex mountain environment where wind velocity profile and vertical wind become significant factors in your lethal hit probability.
- You will learn shooting positions specific to shooting at the steep angles of a mountain environment, and how the inclination of the shot affects the trajectory of the bullet.
- You will shoot multiple different scenarios which are designed to help you learn to recognize what combination of conditions allow you to take a shot with a high lethal hit probability.
- You will learn the fundamentals of shooting from a tripod.
Prerequisite Classes
L1 and L2. This is an advanced class and without the foundation of advanced ballistics knowledge and wind compensation taught in our L1 and L2 classes, even advanced students will struggle and take away from the learning experience of the other students.
