Shoot2Hunt University

[Ready2Rut]

Has the Shoot2Hunt crew ever considered putting together a paid, asynchronous online class? Such as a series of videos/lectures and then drills that you go do on your own.

Coming from the mountaineering world, I had a great experience with a crevasse rescue course in this online format. Watch the videos, practice in my backyard, practice on snow with friends, then go climb a glaciated mountain. And now I can re-watch the videos to refresh my knowledge each season. This course cost ~$130, but the guide who did this course, Mark Smiley, has similar courses with a limited cohort that cost upwards of $400-500 that regularly sell out. Seems like a great way to scale your business without losing any control over the content.

As a 25 year old who doesn't have an extra $2000+ for a S2H trip in Montana, I would love to have this option!

Oh pro tip: instead of buying cardboard or using the amazon boxes that magically appear.. I take those yard signs people put up offering cable TV or buy junk houses... perfect size and last forever and you can leave em in the rain....

Old political signs make great target holders too.

They have been working on something like this for some time. It was supposed to be out already, but they have a lot on their plate. Hopefully they get it done.

My “cardboard” is 90% duct tape at this point.

I tell my neighbors I'm serving as volunteer code enforcement on that signage.

Get on standby for this summer. Someone will bail or have something come up.

Yes, that’s what I do! Neighbor getting a new roof? I’m getting a new sign.

The drawback is they don’t do well in high wind. The aluminum poles are pretty floppy.

They blow over and don’t go into rocky soil in the mountains just FYI.

Next party you go to "borrow" a metal folding chair... tape the yard sign to the back and if the wind blows hard enough to tip that over its time to day drink lol Follow me for more "i was raised super poor and still act it" tips lol

Rookies. Metal realty signs w the hard plastic signage are where it’s at. I think mine is going on 5 years sitting out at the 100 yard line, almost time for a new one

I’ve found if you just paint some bullseyes on your neighbors barn, it doesn’t move in the wind.

Yes!! I use metal folding chairs and oilfield signs

And if you miss, you can say, “this rifle literally can’t hit the side of a barn.”

 

[SloppyJ]

Another thing you'll learn in the course that nobody has talked about is how long you can make a single piece of cardboard last

And rations of tape.

 

[Wprinkle]

And rations of tape.

RIGHT!!! Bullet hole = .224 diameter that piece of tape better be .225. Some of us saved tape by missing the target all together.. or shooting someone else's...

 

[Nine Banger]

Don't get on the tape abuse Watch List.

You can't get off of it.

 

[TimberHunter]

Anyone heard if they’re going to have a 600-1000 class?

As you guys know, our friends and family are the beneficiaries of the S2H knowledge.

I bought my wife one of the unclaimed UM lefty Tikka 223's and gave her a couple crash courses in positional shooting before season.

Today it paid off. She shot her buck this morning seated supported off pack/sticks at a steep 475 yds with her 6.5PRC.

Not to sound reckless by "Crash course" and then shoot 475 off a pack.
We have worked on her MER since she started shooting and we shoot often during the summer. She shoots out to 800 with routine precision but we keep her to 500 and in on game. She has shot LOTS of deer and antelope from 450 and in so the only thing different is the position she shot from.
Done correctly with constant practice, it's amazing the precision that can be delivered from unorthodox positions.
