Long range shooting school?

I haven't even heard of ranges in louisiana past 300 yards

What are VATA guys? There is a 1000yd range south of Shreveport but its closed right now because of damage from flooding. I'm willing to drive out of state but didn't know if anyone on here knew of someone or something that they have had experience with.

The range currently consists of a 15 point 30 yard pistol range and smallbore rifle range, a 20 point multi-purpose 100 yard rifle range and a 600 yard rifle range complete with elevating targets and target pits. All ranges have covered firing points and shooting tables. In addition to the 600 yard line, the 600 yard range also has firing positions and shooting tables located at 200, 300, and 500 yards.

Any shooter not demonstrating the ability to hit the target within three (3) rounds will immediately move to the 100 yard range or 200 yard berm/bench area to correct their issue.

All members who wish to fire at distances greater than 300 yards on the 600 yard range must first attend and successfully complete the 600 Yard Qualification Orientation. B. The qualification process will involve the testing of knowledge and equipment to be used at 600 yards. C. SKS’s, AK’s, 16 inch AR’s, 30-30’s, etc. are not acceptable rifles for usage beyond 300 yards D. Red dot sighting is not acceptable for usage at 600 yards.

All members that have been qualified to use the 600 yard firing line will be issued a different colored membership card which states in bold lettering “600 YARD QUALIFIED.” This card replaces the standard membership card and must be displayed at all times.

Get on facebook and join the Louisiana precision rifle club. They are trying to put together a little series as a precursor to the precision rifle series.

The main people behind the club are over in the Monroe area but they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

They can point you in the right direction. If you just knowledge, ask your questions here and ill see if I can answer them.

I want to learn to shoot long range 500 to 1000 yds. To learn how to adjust for wind, elevation, bullet drop, etc.

Cartridge, type of rifle, and optics will play a huge part on being able to consistently shoot at LR. Basically equipment (and skill) will dictate your success

I would definitely recommend using a data log book and documenting everything : load, temp, conditions, bullet impact, etc... Start and 100 and master short range first, then transition to 200, 300, 400, 500, etc.... Download an app on your smart phone which will help you with ballistic tables, calibration, clicks, MOA vs. MIL.

I use iStrelok and Ballistic AE

I have a Savage model 12 300wsm, with a trijicon 5x20x50 scope. I also have a thompson encore 300 win mag with Zeiss conquest 3x15x42. I go to Colorado every year and have been lucky as Ive killed the last two years but both at close range. I passed on a very nice 6x6 because it was at 600 yds and i have never shot that far before

I can't think of the name of it, but there is a nice place in Florida that teaches classes. I have it at home if someone doesn't beat me to it I will update later tonight.

I find the best way to learn is to practice, no better teacher than experience and trigger time. Not saying courses won't help but practice is the key.

I can't imagine shooting a 300 mag all day
