    Good learning experience

    We traveled from Ohio to North Carolina for this class, it was well worth the time and money. John was very informative and good at Communicating what he was teaching. I loved that it was hands on learning. The shooting and communication drills were a lot of fun, and helpful. If you have ever thought about taking a training course this one will be definitely worth your while.

    Outstanding Class

    Scoped Rifle Essentials is exactly as the name implies - the essentials you will need to maximize your shooting with a scoped rifle. John has the ability to articulate and demonstrate the fundamentals needed to make hits out to 800 yards and more. As an instructor who has taken and taught many long range classes, it is easy to offer this endorsement of the class. Take it as soon as you can. I wish this had been my first long range class.

    Great for all levels

    Took the time to teach and reinforce all fundamentals, demonstrated everything he was teaching, was approachable and answered all questions, i was able to hit a new PR for distance by applying what was taught in this course. Highly recommend.

    Great Course -

    As a novice shooter I learned and laughed a lot. John did a great job of explaining the entire process from start to finish at a level I could process, and the end result was consistent hits at 600 yards several at 700 and one at 800. I had never attempted a shot past 200 prior to the course, and finished the day looking forward to the next one.
