L301 Mountain Shooting Techniques

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.

Experience Overview

The L301 Mountain Shooting Techniques course was introduced in 2021, and we have revamped it for 2022 by increasing it from a two-day to a three-day course. 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. Our Level 301 Mountain Shooting Techniques course is now 18-hours where we transition from the comfortable learning environment to a realistic training environment. You will learn more in-depth techniques for compensating for inclination and wind behavior specific to mountainous terrain. You will have to apply these techniques, along with everything you learned in the Level 1 and Level 2 classes, to complete a series of challenging and realistic shot scenarios using the same equipment you will be using on your hunts. We feel that the Level 301 class represents the ultimate training for hunt preparation.

Location

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!
