Outdoor Solutions started in 2003 as a hunting and fishing outfitter service. By 2012, they'd built enough demand that they launched their own long-range shooting schools—first through NRA Outdoors, now independently. The reason was simple: hunters booking expensive Western big game hunts kept saying "I've never shot that far before." Their schools exist to fix that.

Full description and what we offer
Outdoor Solutions started in 2003 as a hunting and fishing outfitter service. By 2012, they'd built enough demand that they launched their own long-range shooting schools—first through NRA Outdoors, now independently. The reason was simple: hunters booking expensive Western big game hunts kept saying "I've never shot that far before." Their schools exist to fix that.
Three core course types:
All courses run 2.5 days, arrive around 2pm day one, full curriculum by 3pm. Day 1 is classroom basics and fundamentals. Day 2 is all hunting scenarios—unknown distances, natural terrain, elevation changes, shooting from sticks and packs.
Texas (Spur & Hamlin locations) — 45 minutes southeast of Lubbock. 8 double-occupancy cabins with private bathrooms, commercial kitchen, known-distance range a short ATV ride away. Hunting scenarios across West Texas canyons and plateaus, 100 to 900 yards, heavy emphasis on the 400-600 yard range.
Utah (Coalville) — 45 minutes north of Salt Lake City. Scenic mountain lodge with 8 bedrooms, large fireplace, wall of windows overlooking terrain. 1000-yard known-distance range with mountain backdrop. Day 2 scenarios include shooting across draws, up and down canyons with challenging wind, elevation changes throughout.
Hunter-focused. They use factory gear from major partners:
| Category | Brands |
|---|---|
| Rifles | Seekins Precision, AllTerra Arms, Benelli USA, Christensen Arms, Fierce Firearms, Gunwerks |
| Ammunition | Federal Premium |
| Optics | Zeiss Hunting |
"We will show you how to be an effective hunter at extended ranges with proper factory equipment. Custom rifles and hand-loaded ammo are nice—they're also expensive."
Known-distance ranges: 8 individual shooting lanes, AR 500 steel targets at 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 yards. Enclosed shoot house with concrete floors and custom benches. Hunting scenario ranges have multiple stations, different distances and target sizes.
Instructors are highly qualified with military or law enforcement backgrounds. They're also hunters who understand what success in the field requires. Small class sizes (max 8 spots at some courses) and excellent instructor-to-student ratio mean everyone gets individual attention. No attitudes, no egos—they genuinely enjoy watching students become proficient.
What's included: - Lodging (double occupancy) - All meals (home cooked, full service) - Drinks on the range - Transportation via ATV or 4×4 between lodge and ranges - Range fees - Instruction and curriculum - Access to hunting scenario terrain
Students can bring their own rifle and zero it as part of the course, building a personal range card they'll use on actual hunts.
Outdoor Solutions also books:
They personally vet outfitters. Most have been with them since 2003 and have been visited by their team firsthand. They do consultations to match you with the right destination, handle booking, deposits, tags, licenses, travel logistics, gear advice, and follow up before and after your trip.
After spending hard-earned money on a Western hunt, the last thing you want is to pass on a trophy because you weren't comfortable with the shot—or worse, wound an animal. Outdoor Solutions instructors understand this. Their schools exist to expose your limitations and your gear's limitations in field conditions, turning you into a confident and ethical marksman.
