Train for Your Hunt
WTA’s premiere partner Gunwerks offers hunt training at their Long Range University.
This hunt training exists for the sole purpose of helping you make quick, ethical, one-shot kills in the field.
The core content is contained in the L1, L2, and L3 classes which utilize a building block approach to provide education and training in every factor which impacts your lethal hit probability. Interwoven throughout all three classes is a training strategy which will improve your ability to function under pressure and significantly extend the range and conditions under which you can take an ethical shot. At Long Range University you will learn to recognize when the conditions are not suitable to ensure a lethal hit.
You will use the Gunwerks Shooting systems during the L1 and L2 classes, however what you learn will apply to any long range shooting system. Using a Gunwerks rifle system and ammunition for this course facilitates and accelerates the learning process. This allows you to focus on the core class content and leave equipment concerns to the instructor. Put wear and tear on our rifle not yours.
In the L3 class you’ll be encouraged to bring your personal rifle regardless of manufacturer. This is where you really learn the capability and limits of your “system” which includes you and your marksmanship ability, your rifles capability, your ballistic program, and your ability to compensate for wind and other environmental conditions, all in a realistic mountain hunting environment.
Gunwerks offers incredible facilities & world-class instruction to elevate your shooting performance. The knowledge & expertise gained from LRU allows me to be the best I can be in the field."
