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.
