Cadre instructor observing a shooter build a supported precision rifle position

Core offering 05

One-⁠on-⁠one mentorship

Bring us the problem. We build the work around it.

Where it begins

Start with the thing holding you back.

You do not need to diagnose it before you reach out. Give us the context, what you have already tried, and what a good outcome would look like.

A private session starts with your rifle, your deadline, and the part that is not working. That may mean diagnosing a setup, rebuilding a position on the range, planning for a hunt or match, or making a component decision with an experienced second set of eyes.

  • A rifle, optic, ammunition, data, or shooter problem you cannot isolate
  • A new build or component change you want to think through before buying
  • A position or part of your shot process that breaks down under pressure
  • A hunt, match, or training date that needs a focused preparation plan

On the range

See the process. Change the result.

One-on-one time gives an instructor room to watch the entire sequence, not just where the shot landed, and make the next repetition count.

Specific examples

What we can work on together.

The scope follows the problem. These are examples, not a fixed menu or a prerequisite list.

  1. Diagnose the whole system

    Rifle troubleshooting · Consult or range session

    Work through the rifle, optic, ammunition, data, and shooting process to separate an equipment issue from a technique issue, and decide what to test next.

  2. Build a repeatable position

    Tripod + barricade work · In-person coaching

    Set the support height, connect your body to the rifle, manage recoil, and refine the sequence from entering the position through calling the shot.

  3. Turn the date into a plan

    Hunt or match preparation · Planning + range work

    Identify the shots and positions most likely to matter, validate equipment and data, then prioritize the practice that fits the time you actually have.

  4. Choose for the job

    Rifle build decisions · Phone consultation

    Talk through intended use, weight, cartridge, optic, and supporting equipment so each component serves what the rifle needs to do.

How it works

The right format for the problem.

  1. Send the context

    Tell us about your setup, goals, timeline, and what you have already tried.

  2. Confirm the fit

    We match the problem to an available instructor and agree on format, location, and dates.

  3. Do focused work

    Meet by phone or on the range, work the problem, and leave knowing the next step.

From a student

In Bill’s words.

On training with Patrick

“Patrick took me out of my comfort zone and showed me different ways to approach and accomplish different shooting scenarios.

By doing this he fixed my issues and filled the gaps/unknowns with his knowledge and experience.”

Next step

Sign up for mentoring.

Tell us what you need help with, your current rifle setup, and any previous training or courses you have taken. That context helps us understand where you are and match the work to your goals.

We’ll email you the available instructors, their rates, and where they train. Your instructor will confirm the fit and dates before you pay.
