Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the firearms instructor moving to Colorado?

The instructor is moving to Colorado to focus on mountain shooting and scenario-based training. He aims to leverage the higher elevations for unique ballistic challenges and to expand his training offerings in a more dynamic environment, moving away from a plateau he experienced on the East Coast.

What are the speaker's goals for firearms training in Colorado?

The primary goals include shooting in the mountains, engaging targets at various angles, and exploring the ballistic differences at higher elevations. He also intends to film more scenario-based content and potentially expand his training network to include other instructors.

How does elevation affect shooting, according to the instructor?

Higher elevations reduce air density, leading to less projectile drop and wind drift. The instructor notes that at 3200 ft, a 5.56 rifle had significantly less speed drop and wind effect compared to lower altitudes, making shooting more predictable but also presenting new challenges.

What types of firearms training will be prioritized in 2025?

In 2025, the focus will be on scope carbine, LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic), and precision bolt-action rifle disciplines. This prioritization is partly due to financial considerations and the perceived market demand for these specialized training areas.
