No experience shooting long range is needed, we will teach you the correct shooting form in which to be successful at all LR shooting.If you can shoot a sub MOA group at 100m or yards, so a 3 round group smaller than 1 inch then you are more than capable to take the course. With LR shooting you are simply applying the same fundamentals at 1000m that you’re doing at 100, the only change is we are teaching you the science to dial your turret to the correct number of mils or moa plus how to call your wind to make the shot.

Your general hunting rifle and 3-9x40 scope will not cut it for our LR courses, however they are perfect for our Precision Hunter Course.
This is mainly due to sporter barrels heating up to fast and causing accuracy to suffer. Heavy barrel rifles are usually better for the type of shooting we would be doing on the range but also medium contour barrels will still get the job done, the bellow scopes are classed as LR scopes.
•March scopes FFP and SFP line (we highly recommend these)
•Bushnell elite DMR, HDMR, LRHS.
•Nighforce ATACR, SHV, NXS, beast.
•Schmidt & Bender PM2.
•Vortex PST Gen2, Razor gen2.
•Khales FFP Line.
These are the type of scopes we use, they need to have at least 12mil or 40moa from your 100m zero to be able to dial the distance. Be sure to check scope specs before purchasing to ensure you’re getting a scope with the right amount of internal elevation.
Also scopes with 1" main tubes generally will not have enough internal elevation. You will find that it's a minimum of 30mm and up.

Minimum for the Hunter course is .223
Minimum for the LR courses is 6mm
Maximum calibre we can use on the range is 8mm as we are operating on a 8mm trace, .338 and above cannot be used.

We work on a 100 rounds per day, we advise a minimum of 200 rounds for a two day course. You will need to use either Match grade LR ammunition or carefully hand loaded ammo, a high BC projectile must be used. An example would be –
•Hornady ELD/ELD-X projectiles
•Berger projectiles
•Sierra Matchking/Tipped Matchking projectiles
•Hornady Match ammunition
•Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition
•Federal Gold Medal Match ammunition

Yes, we all usually camp out at the range. You are free to arrive the day before the course and setup camp, we have seen everything from caravans to basic swags being used. The range has minimal facility’s so please keep this in mind and treat it as if your going away camping in the bush for the weekend.

As stated above most students choose to camp out at the range with us, you are more than welcome to choose to stay at a motel. Gunnedah is a 20-minute trip to and from the range, Tamworth is a 50-minute drive either way, please keep this in mind when looking at accommodation.

Yes, while we supply lunch and dinner on course dates, you will need to bring food any food, drinks and snacks you will think you need outside of what 365 will supply. Due to extreme weather conditions out at the range the drinking water cannot be relied on. Please bring enough water to maintain good hydration throughout the course.

Yes, once a deposit is paid you can make payment instalments to pay off the amount owing. Final payment must be made 2 weeks prior to the course start date.

The range has minimal facilities, although not as convenient it helps provide that experience of getting away to the peace and quiet. The range has toilets, a BBQ hotplate and a old shower system. The shower runs off an old donkey system that’s not real efficient, we advise to plan as if there are no showers. We hope to see this fixed in future.
