Most of the shooters shot groups of 5 inchers at 1000 meters with Gunwerks rifles and Ammo.We shot prone, shooting sticks, a bipod and rear bag and used 7mm Rem Mag with 168gr berger hunting pills. Worth a look!

Cheers Rob

I went to the course to learn the basics of long range hunting. Most of my rifle hunting is varmiting with a 22-250 and bigger game animals with a old sako L61R 270 Win. After hunting in the Mount Hutt region in March this year the abilty to hunt at extended ranges, humanely and consistently place a shot with a hunting rifle.

The course was easy to understand and you put in practice what had been taught.

For me the use of the G7 range finder along with the Gunwerks turret system, made the practical side of the course very easy.

They explain bullet drift and show you how to read the wind, mirrarge and its effects at a distance.
