Outdoor Solutions started as a hunting and fishing outfitter in 2003 and eventually founded their long-range schools out of necessity. After years of sending big game hunters around the globe, they realized most clients had never shot beyond 100 yards—a serious problem when your hunt depends on reliable 400+ yard shots.
They originally ran the Texas and Utah long-range classes for the NRA Outdoors program starting in 2012. Now operating independently as Outdoor Solutions Corp, they continue the same curriculum and instructor quality.

Coalville Location - 1,000-yard known distance range with mountain backdrop (scenic training ground) - Hunting scenario ranges: Draws, canyons with challenging wind calls, elevation changes throughout - Western terrain specifically chosen to prepare for actual hunting conditions - Lodging: 8 bedrooms with various configurations, large fireplace, wall of windows overlooking Utah terrain - Range to lodge: 5-minute UTV ride - Note: This location uses event tents for weather protection rather than permanent range house
✓ Lodging in outfitter-quality lodges (double occupancy, private bathrooms) ✓ All meals prepared and served by staff (full home-cooked breakfast, lunch, dinner) ✓ Beverages on the range ✓ Range transportation (side-by-side ATVs or 4×4 pickups) ✓ Rifles and optics provided (factory gear focus) ✓ All instruction and range fees
Unlike many long-range schools that push expensive custom builds, Outdoor Solutions uses factory equipment only in their Level 1 and Hunter Prep courses:
| Category | Brands Used |
|---|---|
| Rifles | Seekins, AllTerra Arms, Christensen Arms, Fierce Firearms, Gunwerks, Benelli USA |
| Ammunition | Federal Premium |
| Optics | Zeiss Hunting |
"We will show you how to be an effective hunter at extended ranges with the proper factory equipment. Once you've proven the fundamentals work with proven gear, you can explore custom options later."
Outdoor Solutions keeps class sizes intentionally small—everyone receives substantial individual time with instructors. Their teaching staff brings:
Day 1 builds fundamentals in a controlled setting. Day 2 moves to hunting scenarios where students face the real problem: unknown distances, variable terrain, wind, and pressure. This is where limitations show up—both personal and equipment-based—making students more confident and ethical hunters.
2026 courses include regular offerings in Texas and Oklahoma, with spring Utah sessions. Private class options available for groups.
Outdoor Solutions also operates as a full-service outfitter service, booking guided hunts (big game, turkey, upland, waterfowl) and fishing trips (freshwater and saltwater) worldwide. They personally vet every outfitter, handle travel logistics, assist with gear selection, and provide pre/post-trip support.
