ALTUS 2 Day Comprehensive Advanced Precision Rifle Course
ALTUS is pleased to announce our ALTUS 2 Day Comprehensive Advanced Precision Rifle Course. In addition to two full days of professional training, the price includes an overnight stay at our new 6,000 square foot lodging facility! The lodge is equipped with a full gym and kitchen that include grills and Traeger Smokers with plenty of covered seating both outside and inside the lodge.
Additionally, we offer high-speed internet with big screen TV’s and even vintage arcade game consoles! While at the lodge, large bathrooms and showers are at your disposal as well as a washer/dryer combo! We don’t want you or your equipment to leave dirty, so we have added an outside weapons cleaning area, so everyone returns safely home better than they arrived!
Our goal with this course is 2-fold. First, to be able to get two full days of professional firearms training with our elite instructors. Second, is to provide an environment to engage with our instructors and like-minded individuals after a good day of training.
