I had the opportunity to go to Kaufman, TX and train with Captain Kick-Ass of North Texas Rifle Precision at his private range. The range is a great shooting area that offers a 360 degree berm that is about 15’ tall and is close to 800 yards long. He setup about 20 steel targets in the basin ranging from lollipops, to hostage flappers, reactive targets, know your limits and several more. The MSTOMP was placed on one side of the berm and we used it to engage targets from 200 yards out to 750 yards. I took the Steel on Target course.
Since this was my second time to train with him he spent a couple of minutes analyzing my trigger finger angle making sure that I had a good 90 degree angle in it and that I was straight behind the rifle. This was beneficial to get confirmation that my shooting position was correct. We then progressed quickly and thoroughly through various topics including milling targets, analyzing the mirage and attempting to make wind calls based off of the data. I say attempting since I have a very hard time seeing and reading the mirage. That is one of many items that I took away from the course that I will continue training to become more proficient doing.
The great thing about training with CKA on a one-to-one basis is his ability to tailor the class to meet your needs. For me that included a significant portion of the class devoted to positional shooting. He spent a lot of time working with me on my position, getting my sling adjusted correctly and showing me tips on body positioning. We started off with the sitting position, progressing to kneeling and finally standing. The information that Jay poured into me during this time was outstanding. He didn’t just teach, he also brought out his AR-10 and proceeded to nail the target 9 out of 10 times while in the seated position. Watching him gave me the confidence that I needed to persevere and continue until I was consistently hitting the target.
After the positional shooting, he setup a mock match stage for me to practice safely transitioning to different positions while applying the pressure of the shot timer and focusing on accuracy in very awkward positions. This was a great addition to the session as he was able to comment on little things that drastically increased my success in subsequent runs.
Finally, we concluded the day with his trade mark golf ball shot. I love challenges and let me tell you, taking on a golf ball at 750 yards with a 308 is definitely a big challenge. After burning up “several” rounds, I finally hit the ball. That was a huge confidence boost for me and it was a great way to end the class.
I would highly recommend any of Jay’s classes. His instruction is tailored to meet your needs in a one-on-one session and the wealth of information and effort that he pours into it is amazing. Thanks CKA, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and look forward to the next one.
