Accuracy Brush-Up: Change of Behavior class

[Bobevans]

Took a great shooting class with Change of Behavior in Valley Center this weekend, brushing up ahead of October, November, and December hunts! Targets out to 600+ from every position other than bench! 160ish rounds over 2 days, Highly recommended. He has a lot of gear you can try before you buy like kestrels, tripods, bags, etc.

Interesting. What is the pricing and time commitment like?

This class was 2 approximately 7 hour days over a weekend for $500 flat. He does pistol, AR, etc. as well but I’ve only done the scoped rifle courses. The days are packed, essentially no breaks, so you get your money’s worth in my opinion.

Sounds like I need to do this one of these days. What were your takeaways for hunting?

 

[Bobevans]

The way I decided to go was the realization that I don’t blink to spend money on defensive handgun/CCW classes but rarely did rifle training beyond the bench. Also I’ve heard about a million guide stories about misses, wounding, etc. and don’t want to be bad story….

- stability is everything, don’t force a bad position into a bad shot
-practice, glass, ammo, and shooting rests matter way more than rifle brand/cost/caliber
-shooting bags are lighter than they used to be and can be very practical for hunting
-I hate muzzle brakes
-even in dried up Valley Center the grass is often too tall for prone!
-extend your tripod legs bottom first to keep the controls close to you while you are on the gun. The minuscule stability benefit of doing it fat legs first is lost on fumbling when the height isn’t perfect

Did they offer or have Tricer gear?
