About Big K LR Shooting Schools

The Big K Ranch has created one of the finest long-distance rifle ranges anywhere in the world. With four square miles of breathtaking terrain, the Big K shooting ranges will challenge your rifle shooting skills to the limit. The Big K is the perfect training ground for long-range shooting and offers the finest curriculum for practical rifle shooting available anywhere.

The Thunder Beast Training Group, based on the Rocky Mountains, specializes in practical applications of rifles, and has brought their experience to bear creating an excellent field course at the Big-K.

Unlike flat, square shooting ranges, the custom built ranges at the Big K include steel targets spread out in the natural terrain for unlimited training challenges. Of course, Big K also has a 1000-yard known-distance (KD) range with paper and steel targetry available.

Hunters, tactical marksmen, and anyone who loves rifle shooting will find the Big K to be “the place’ to shoot. The field courses focus on the practical precision and long-range application of rifles, which involves engaging small and distant targets to the limit of rifle, ammunition, and shooter capability, all while in a field setting and under some stress. Instruction is available at all levels, from the new long-range shooter who just wants to make a 1000-yard shot, up to advanced movement, ballistics, and shooting challenges.
