Shoot2Hunt University

[Brian77]

I just watched a recent Youtube video of a group that were training at the highly regarded Hat Creek Facility. After a few days shooting with Form at our informal S2H class here in Alaska, it is blatantly apparent how bad most training is. On the Hat Creek video, the Spotter - Shooter communication is horrible. Maybe the instructors know better, but what good is training if you are not going to do it in a way that makes you more efficient and effective in the field?

Also, the habits and shot process that the students were allowed to follow were horrible as well. No racking of the bolt as soon as possible, ignoring the turret and safety, coming out of the gun and looking back without even ejecting the case. It's like watching amateur hour, once you have gone through even one S2H class.

It is interesting how the Shoot2hunt class changed my perspective and opened my awareness to so many small things that make me more prepared and safer

I just went ahead and bought 9 different varieties of 223/556 between 55 and 69 grains - including the two ADI loads. I also set aside some of my 77-grain AAC as well). It should be a good first range session.

Which ones shot the best? Going to school in June of 2026. Starting to source ammo now.

My barrel has a 1:10” twist. The ADI 55- and 69-grain shot the best (with a slight edge to the 55-grain load). The Frontier 5.56 62-grain also shot really well.

You can see most of my targets in the “what did you do at the range today?” thread. If I didn’t bother to post a group, then it was really bad.

I will also be at the course next June.

Edit - here is a link to the thread. There are some more targets further down.

What did you do at the range today?
