Training Courses Iowa 2-day Frank Galli Precision Rifle Fundamentals August 15th-16th

[Mike4837]

I'm bringing Frank to Sureshot Range in Mt Auburn, Iowa for his 2-day class on August 15th and 16th. This is his basic fundamentals course like he teaches in Colorado, but probably without the high winds unless we have a tornado.


Expect to shoot 100-800(hopefully further). Wind reading will be covered also.

Cost: $650 (There is a $60 range fee as well)

Ammo Requirement: 300 rounds of match ammo

Rifle: A precision rifle, bolt or gas gun, capable of 1 MOA precision or better.

Caliber: Any center fired cartridge that Sureshot's range will allow, which I believe is about anything. HOWEVER, I don't recommend magnum calibers as a general rule. You'll get more out of the class if you're not in pain. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6 Dasher, .308 Win, .224 Valkyrie, and similar short action cartridges would be great choices.

Optic: Anything reliable that is greater than 1x. This course will be at least 800 yards so plan accordingly.

Gear: Any standard precision rifle gear. Rear bag, bipod, data book, etc. Also, spotting scopes or binos on a tripod would be helpful.

Food: Bring it. The range is not very close to options so we'll have to eat lunch at the range to avoid wasting time.

Weather: It's Iowa. Who knows. But plan accordingly and expect it to be hot and humid.

Tuition payment will be through Frank's website once the e-commerce part is up. I will add a link when that's ready.

If you have questions, hit me up!

UPDATE: Bring the range fee to the first day of class. You will be paying the range owner directly to keep Frank out of the middle.

[FCS]

15 minutes from “home”, might need to schedule some time for a visit and a bit of learning.

 

[Dill]

We had him up here in Minnesota last September for this course. Highly recommended for the great shooting instruction and the hilarious stories from Frank are the icing on the cake. You guys will love it.

 

[TACC]

This looks like a great deal, have to check on dates.

 

[TacT-MecH]

Only about 4.5 hrs away...

 

[Greg Langelius *]

Only 22+ hours away. Sorry...

 

[grovermn5]

pm'd for more info.

 

[Lowlight]

guys I have a basic e-commerce site set up for this but I have to test a transaction to make sure I am good

 

[deltawiskey]

How many shooters are you accepting for the class?
DW

 

[Lowlight]

Usually do 10-12

 

[Mike4837]

@lowlight If you need a test dummy to try your E-commerce let me know. I have a couple guys ready to sign up and pay anytime. I'm sure they'd being willing to be test pilots.

 

[Sinned]

Is this a 2 day course and how many hours? Would you recommend this for people new/newish to long range shooting?

Yes it’s two days. I’ll tweak the post slightly to make that more clear. Thank you for asking that.

I would absolutely recommend it for new shooters and experienced shooter alike. I’m a part time competition guy and hobbiest long range shooter. I’ve taken several classes from basic to more advanced. I wish I’d been to Franks class first.

If you have questions, hit me up!

Im interested do you have 2 spots availible and how does one lock in two spots if so?

 

[RioKid]

I have the same question as asked above. Would like to lock in two spots for the class.

[Rusted Nut]

You can count me in for the class

Frank or I will post something on here when the registration page is up and running. My mental math is telling me we should be at 8 right now, but that's unofficial of course.

 

[TacT-MecH]

@Wolfhunter You can count me in... I'm trying to get a friend to commit as well.

 

[jwankel]

I'm likely as well.

 

[glock63]

Count me in. Let me know how to pay

 

[deltawiskey]

Looks like a full class already!

[pmclaine]

I wish we had someplace in the east that we could have Frank come to and run a class.

What does shipping the HMFIC entail?

Uber, FedEx, Cargo, Business First Class, Private Lear Jet?

Sig Sauer is now offering "Guest" instructor special classes - Larry Vickers and team shooters as examples.....gots to think Lowlight would be a good addition to the Sig line up of guest instructors seeing as this site is probably familiar to most of the PSR class attendees if not the reason they got into shooting scoped rifles.

No can do compadre'

Fams has the bulk of the vacation time locked up and my own mental health days are limited to a day or so here and there.

Kids school vac is next week and it was expected We would go some place but I feel based on behavior of the kids no way.

We have a big Utah trip planned in April and I'm not spending money now better spent than on kids that haven't earned the vacation.

 

[Mike4837]

UPDATE: Ok guys, Frank's money making site is being worked on, but we've talked about it and we're going to do a manual registration for the time being. Several of you have messaged me about this already. If you're in, and by "in" I mean ready to pay up and claim a spot, make a comment here and we'll start with that. Payments will be in the hopefully near future.

As per @lowlight's comment above, 10-12 people. I have 2 down for sure right now.

Second: Range fee will just be due at the first day of the class. This will probably be cleaner than paying extra and @lowlight cutting a check to the range owner.

 

[TacT-MecH]

I'm in with Money ready.

 

[Mike4837]

I'm in with Money ready.

That makes 3.

 

[Flather18]

I’m in. I don’t mind mailing a check.

 

[grovermn5]

count me in as well.(replied @Wolfhunter with a pm also)

 

[Lowlight]

I would rather the e-commerce site be used, they are working on it moving forward, as I have both this site and the now the ecommerce one being worked on.

Sure we can do checks and what-not but having it self contained is easier,

The class is not going anywhere, having to wait a few weeks to pay should not be a big deal,

If you want me to start a list with your name on it, you can send me a message or put Going, however it will still be the ones that pay get their spots saved and the ones who want to go but don't pay won't.

But rather than do it 3x, when the site it up everything will happen at the same time, your payment will add you to my list which confirms your spot in the class

 

[Rusted Nut]

I'm in, just let me know when to pay

 

[deltawiskey]

I'm in... ready to pay when you are.
DW

 

[JoeZ]

Sounds awesome and I'm only 4.5 hours from there.

 

[Handel]

I’m in and ready to pay too - thanks!

 

[IowaGeologist]

Damn Sconnies taking up all the spots in our beloved state. Looks like fun but can't attend. Glad Frank is making the trip.

 

[Rusted Nut]

Sconnies?

 

[Niles Coyote]

Sconnie

Wiki says:
Proper noun. Sconnie. (affectionate) A person or people from the U.S. state of Wisconsin.

Urban dictionary says:
The sexiest pornstar alive that can make anyone or thing cum instantly. Girl: I'm soo wet from hearing sconnies name

Neither one of those descriptions even remotely resemble me... Except the "Person from U.S. State" part...

Just tell me when you site is up and I will send the money for 2 spots.

 

[Codiekfx400]

I would like in on this.

 

[Lowlight]

Guys

Do not use the website its not done, I ordered it finished and the 3 that paid, I don't see any money, so if you were charged I have no clue where the payment went

I never announced this and using it was wrong.... you may have created a big mess

I said, I am paying a company to get it up and running, but instead you all just gave me 3x more work.

DO NOT USE THE PRECISION RIFLE TRAINING SITE

 

[Lowlight]

Class paid for! See you in August! Do I need to bring my popup canopy?

You didn't pay for anything, ...

better cancel it, because the money went nowhere and I have no clue where it is ...

HOW Did you pay, because there is no payment portal active, you made an order but no money moved.

All you did was create a headache for me

I apologize for that. It's never my intention to make work for anyone. The site information was given AND the item (class) said it was available. Thank you for the heads up and again, I'm sorry for the trouble.

 

[Lowlight]

All you did was load your CC into an unsecured server, to an empty portal,

I had to go in and delete it

but nothing was charged, you just hung your CC# out the window
