On the other hand, shooting schools are full of students who want to learn how to shoot an AR 15 at imagined bad guy targets at close range or a precision rifle at long range. At least here stateside there are a lot more bullets fired at animals than bad guys. Hunters need training too. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magpulcore.com\/training\" target=\"_blank\">Magpul Core<\/a>\u00a0realizes this and so does their precision rifle instructor, Caylen Wojcik, which is why they developed the Precision Hunter course.<\/p>\n<p>This class is a two day class focusing\u00a0on precision and it will test your limits as a shooter as well as the limits of your equipment. Now before you get all bent out of shape about long range hunting, that&#8217;s not the goal of the class. As Wojcik said in the first 10 minutes,&#8221;While you are here you will learn your limits and a man has got to know his limitations, whether they are 150 yards or 400.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11331\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-2.jpg?resize=900%2C332\" alt=\"Magpul 2\" width=\"900\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-2.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-2.jpg?resize=300%2C111&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, learning your equipment and how well you can use it is important too. Not to mention that being able to consistently whack targets at 500 yards does a great deal to build your confidence when shooting at much closer distances. If you&#8217;re looking for some precision hunting rifle training that incorporates shooting from field positions, I suggest you consider this course. Its the\u00a0second class I&#8217;ve taken from Caylen, who served in combat with the\u00a0Marines as a sniper. He is a hunter and he knows what he is talking about. I consider him one of the top 10 instructors, and one of the best shots, I&#8217;ve ever trained with!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11332\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-3.jpg?resize=900%2C317\" alt=\"Magpul 3\" width=\"900\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-3.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empty-cases.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magpul-3.jpg?resize=300%2C106&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most hunters do not practice enough or receive proper training when it comes to shooting.
