DESCRIPTION

Setting us apart from any other training facility, our wind course is just 20 miles from the summit of Mt. Washington, the site of the second highest wind speed on record. We are nestled in between two intersecting valleys, creating a unique and challenging long range shooting experience. The course has dozens of known and Unknown distance targets from 400-1200yards which the students will find, range, and engage from multiple man made and natural terrain props in a high wind, field environment.

Our Mountain Rifleman Course is the most advanced precision rifle class we offer, our expectation for the students is for them to have an advanced understanding of precision rifle application as well as the physical and mental ability to sustain themselves in a mountainous environment for the day. Once the students have confirmed zero and muzzle velocity on the flat range, they will load into our fleet of SUVs and begin to traverse off road trails to the summit of the mountain. Once atop the mountain, students will be required to carry all necessary equipment to various firing positions where they will be tasked with building alternate shooting positions to engage various unknown distance targets.

PREREQUISITE / NEXT COURSE:

Prerequisite: This course is only open to students that have successfully completed Ridgeline’s Advanced Precision Rifle course, or known Industry equivalent (Modern Day Sniper, Veracity Solutions, Snipershide/Mile High, etc.) This is a Skills Employment course. Ridgeline skills employment courses move well beyond the basics and focus primarily on execution of task and challenging scenarios. These courses provide less step by step instruction on fundamentals, but focus on coaching the shooter to develop skills in challenging real world scenarios that help them understand how fast and accurate they can be in the toughest of situations. This is an expert level course. Expertise with your specific rifle and scope are expected. Strong fundamentals of marksmanship, basic wind reading and ballistic theory should already be held by the student. General safe firearms handling is expected of all students.

Next Course: Following graduation of this course students should consider one of three options. Ridgeline offers courses in multiple platforms, private training, and 5 day courses in our Special Events section.

Our Reviews

This is the second class I have signed up for. I travel 1600 miles round trip to come to Ridgeline and that should tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about the value and experience of training here.

The Mid Range Carbine class I took at Ridgeline was the most fun, and I think the most beneficial class I have ever taken.

In addition to what we did in the class, I left with a great base of things to work on. Can’t wait to get back to Ridgeline again soon!

I wish I had taken this class when I was a newer shooter so I didn’t have to unlearn so many bad habits. I would recommend the classes here to anyone!
