Women’s Precision Rifle School | June 5–7, 2026 | Benge, WA
Find Your Focus. Build Your Confidence. Master the Shot.
This isn’t just about shooting long range—it’s about becoming confident, capable, and consistent behind a rifle.
The Women’s Precision Rifle School is a hands-on, immersive experience designed for women who want to build a strong foundation and progress into real-world precision shooting—all in a supportive, small-group environment.
Whether you’re brand new or ready to refine your skills, this course is built to meet you where you are and move you forward with clarity and confidence.
Hosted by Courtney Prete and led by expert instruction from Sean Johnson of Blue Ridge Rifle Range, you’ll spend three days learning, applying, and building skills that translate directly to the field.
What You’ll Learn
We start with the foundations—because that’s where confidence is built—and then move well beyond the basics into real application.
You’ll learn:
Firearm safety and rifle handling
Caliber selection and understanding your rifle system
Scope setup, reticles (MOA/MIL), and optic function
Ballistics and how your bullet performs
How to use ballistic apps, rangefinders, and precision tools
Wind reading and environmental factors
Shot process, consistency, and accuracy
On the Range
This is where it all comes together.
You’ll apply what you learn through:
Live-fire drills focused on precision and consistency
Positional shooting (prone and supported)
Dialing for distance and wind adjustments
Shot analysis and real-time coaching
Building and refining your shooting system
You’ll engage targets from 200 yards out to 1,000+ yards, with opportunities to stretch farther based on conditions and progression (up to 1,500 yards).
You won’t just be told what to do—you’ll understand why it works and how to repeat it.
Who This Is For
Women brand new to rifles who want to learn the right way
Women who have shot before but lack confidence or consistency
Women ready to extend their range and refine their precision
Women who want hands-on, real instruction—not just theory
No matter your starting point, you’ll leave with a stronger foundation and the ability to keep progressing.
What’s Included
3 days of expert instruction
Small group setting (4–6 women max) for personalized coaching
Firearms, ammunition, and safety gear available
Option to bring and work with your own rifle

The Experience
