This was an outstanding weekend - a nephew of mine won a range day with Jay at North Texas Rifle Precision and I was fortunate enough to be asked to tag along. Jay and his operation are nothing short of exception and is only overshadowed by Jay's personally and passion for long range tactical shooting.
While this was not a formal training class; Jay took the five of us throught basic fundamentals and with the goal of getting dope for our rifles. There was a personal review and recommendations for body position, trigger finger and hand position and breathing. After about an 30 minutes we began working out to the 750 mark. As a personal note, I am very new to this type of shooting and 400 had been about my personal limit. Using the techniques and fundametals under Jay's watchful eye - I got solid dope to the 750 line.
After lunch, we returned to the range and began to work at the 1000 yd tower. It seemed like in very short order, all of us had worked out to a 1000. I'll have to admit, it was something that I had alway wanted to accomplish and hitting the 8" plate at that range was unbelievable. After we had established our dope; Jay opening the line to engage targets at any range. It was during this time Jay slung his 260 from the sitting and hit the 8" plate at 1000. After seeing that, I couldn't stand it so I gave it a shot. With Jay's help, I was sucessful at the 700 and 800 yd targets but that damn 8" is still safe today.
I will highly recommend Jay & NTRP to anyone looking for quality trigger time and instruction. I will be going back for a class & that 8" plate is history!
Jay - Thanks again. It was a great time.
