WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE REST.
The 0-600 yard course is the foundational aspect of killing game animals on demand. It is a “whole system” process – you, the rifle, the optic, the mounts, the ammunition, and the equipment; utilizing optimized techniques and processes to prioritize consistency of outcome and speed. The process is biased towards durability over time – which techniques result in less drop off of skill/ability over time.
This is not a “basics” class as most would think of it. Yes, the foundational aspects of field shooting are practiced at length, but it is used as a way to create a conditioned response to shooting.
OUR APPROACH.
All aspects of shooting- from handling, loading, unloading, reloading, and firing is trained in-depth, as well as alternate field positions, medically validated terminal ballistics, exterior ballistics, and App use; Kestrel/weather meters, individual and optimum partner communication and flow, glassing and spotting shots, corrections; backup or emergency plans for data, ranging, and environmental, etc.
WHY WE DO IT.
This is an intensive, in-depth field shooting course that is designed from the ground up to make killing animals from 0-600 yards on demand, under time and stress.
Note.
You will shoot a significant portion of the course past 600 yards, and out to 1200-1400 yards depending on setup.

GEAR LIST
Our “rule of thumb” for what you will need for this course is the following: bring the gear you hunt with! Bring the setup that you currently or plan to hunt with, minus food and cooking gear.
RIFLES
You will need to bring two rifles to the course. First, your “hunting rifle.” Bring whatever rifle you would bring on your dream hunt. Second, your “training rifle.” Bring a low recoiling rifle for training and practice, we recommend a .223.
Both guns will be bolt guns.
Please note that a suppressor is required for most of the course. If you cannot acquire one please let us know.
AMMUNITION
150 rounds of ammunition for your “hunting rifle.”
1000 rounds of ammunition for your “training rifle.”
If your rifle is mag-fed, we recommend bringing at least 3-4 extra magazines.
OPTICS
You will need binoculars and a rangefinder. If you have rangefinding binoculars that is great. You just need both of those capabilities. A spotting scope or tripod mounted 15x binoculars are highly recommended, but it is not required.
SHOOTING GEAR
Bring the pack that you hunt with, your hiking sticks, ear protection, and a shooting mat. We also recommend front and/or rear bags.
CLOTHING
Please bring the clothing you would hunt in or that is durable enough for field wear and enough to make it through the week. There is a possibility for cold weather, so we recommend bringing some layers as well.
Make sure you have comfortable boots/shoes for near constant movement.
SLEEP
Please bring all necessary items for you to sleep comfortably. We recommend bringing a sleeping bag and pillow. Although there may be a few beds available, we recommend planning to sleep on a cot.
APPLICATIONS
We recommend that you purchase and download the Shooter app for this course. Please download it and familiarize yourself with it prior to the course.
FOOD + SHELTER
Three meals per day will be provided by our hosts! Feel free to bring your own snacks, but food and water will be provided.
You will have either a bed to sleep on or a cot in the hangar on the ranch. There are a few beds adjoined to the hangar, but it’s first come first serve!
RENTAL RIFLES + AMMUNITION
We understand that not everyone will be able to bring their own rifles and ammunition. Many of you will be flying from across the nation, so bringing 1000 rounds of ammunition is not exactly possible. Please read through the following information regarding shipping your ammunition and / or renting a rifle.
RIFLES
We have plenty of rifles to rent. If you need to or would prefer to rent a small caliber rifle from us as your “training rifle”, please navigate to and reserve your rental through the S2H U Student Hub. Select your date and reserve your rifle via the Shoot2Hunt store. The price is $50 / day, for a total of $250 for the whole course.
If you have a small caliber rifle that would be perfect for the “training rifle” role, but cannot acquire a suppressor, please let us know.
AMMUNITION
Also in the S2H U Student Hub, you will find information on how to purchase and / or ship ammunition to us for the class. You, as the student, are responsible for bringing ammunition to the class.
Generally, it is not recommended to shoot 5.56 through a .223 chambered rifle. However, bolt guns in general, and Tikkas especially, are perfectly capable of handling the higher chamber pressure of 556. Therefore we do not recommend but can at least point to the Palmetto State Armory 5.56 with a bullet of 69 grains or higher.
Any .223 cartridge with a bullet of 69 grains or higher will be suitable and acceptable to use as ammunition for our .223 rifle rentals.
REFUNDS
If something comes up and you can no longer attend Shoot2Hunt University, please let us know. Up to 6 months from the date of purchase, we are able to refund you for 100% of your deposit straight back to whatever payment method you used. If you request a refund later than 6 months out from the date of purchase, we will be able to refund you for most of the deposit, but we won’t be able to refund the payment processor fee incurred on us. We will mail you a cheque with your deposit amount minus the payment processor fee incurred on Shoot2Hunt.
