The Nail Spring Ranch Experience

You’ve already proven you can hit steel in the wind. You’ve got the basics down. 

Now, come spend four focused days turning conscious competence into unconscious flow, surrounded by 2,000 acres of the most capable private shooting ground most will ever see.

This is not a normal class. This is an immersion.

We’re bringing the Long Range Skills Progression Clinic to Nail Spring Ranch in eastern Oregon, and we’re doing it the way the ranch was meant to be experienced: all of us living, eating, training, and breaking bread together for three straight days. No commuting, no distractions, no half-measures. You’re either all-in, or this one isn’t for you.

This is the Nail Spring Ranch Experience

The ranch is built for exactly this. Brand-new 4-star guest lodge, home-cooked whole-food meals (breakfast and dinner), ridiculous brown-bag lunches you’ll actually look forward to, open bar in the evenings, full gym, classroom with AV, secure armory, and 2,200 ft of grass runway if you’re the type who flies yourself to sniper school.

The ranch is on another level:

  • Known-distance bays out to 800 yd and unknown-distance ranges to 1,600 yd from two-story shooting houses with power and AV
  • Multiple PRS-style prop stages loaded with creative, evil but fair, barricades
  • Hike-and-shoot field courses that feel like high-country elk hunts
  • Angle fire and cross-canyon shots from 300 yds out to a mile.
  • Wind? It’s always there, and it lies.

Every hit you make at Nail Spring is a hit you earned.

Like the standard Skills Progression Clinic, we don’t use the word “advanced.” We’re simply taking shooters who already understand the fundamentals and driving those fundamentals into unconscious competence through hundreds of coached reps. The difference is the playground: the variety and challenge of Nail Spring forces faster growth than any square range ever could.

Whether you just finished the 4-day Intro class last month or you’ve been fighting a plateau for years, you’ll be met exactly where you are and pushed hard for four days straight. Tripods, barricades, angles, mountain wind, uneven ground, time stress, small targets; whatever the high desert serves up, we’ll use it to make you better.

What’s Covered

  • Driving Modern Marksmanship Mechanics into subconscious execution
  • Hundreds of reps from field positions, tripods, and creative props
  • Next-level wind reading in complex mountain terrain
  • Various rapid engagement techniques
  • Mental management tools for owning the wobble under real stress

By the End of Your StayYou Will Be Able To...

  • Build and shoot from any prop or natural position with speed and stability
  • Hold 2–3 MOA (or better) from standing, kneeling, sitting, and tripod positions at practical ranges
  • Learn how to make precise wind calls in cross-canyon and swirling mountain conditions
  • Engage unknown-distance and extreme-angle targets with first- or second-round hits, all self observed.
  • Diagnose and correct misses faster than most shooters can find the target

Who This Is For

Shooters who already have a solid foundation (graduates of our Intro class or equivalent real-world experience) and are hungry to compress years of self-guided training into one transformative 4-day immersion. If you’re ready to live and breathe riflecraft for 96 hours straight, this is where you come.

The bottom line? If you can zero your rifle on your own, get your data dialed at distance on your own, and move yourself and your shooting equipment about the range, you should come!

Nail Spring Ranch is raw, beautiful, and unforgiving.

This is a bucket-list rifle experience.

Spots are extremely limited.

Come earn some hits you’ll talk about for the rest of your life.
