Thompson Long Range operates a specialized long-range shooting school near Logan, Utah. The core promise is simple: complete the 2-day course and hit a 1,000-yard target, or the training is free.
Mark Thompson founded the program on a proven formula: distill decades of long-range experience into intensive 1-2 day courses. Why spend 3-5 days in extended training when focused instruction delivers results faster? Students learn the same principles and skills in less time.
Course Options: - Two-day course: $1,550 - One-day course: $1,000
Both include rifle use, ammunition, scope setup, reloading fundamentals, and progression from fundamentals to 1,000-yard shooting.
Personal firearms are NOT permitted. All courses use Thompson Long Range's Weatherby 30-378 rifles to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Thompson Long Range handles logistics so you focus on shooting. When you book: - Flight to Salt Lake City (roughly 83 miles away; Ogden Airport is an alternative at 50 miles) - We arrange your lodging, meals, and accommodations - All rifle and ammunition provided - Expert instruction from Mark Thompson and his team
Courses run April through August and fill on a first-come, first-served basis.
All courses use Weatherby Mark V Accumark RC rifles equipped with custom Leupold VX5HD scopes ballistically matched to each rifle. Available models include:
| Caliber | Muzzle Velocity | Effective Range | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-378 Weatherby Magnum | 3,200+ fps | 1,000+ yards | $4,400 |
| 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum | Fastest 6.5 available | 900-1,000 yards | $4,400 |
| .257 Weatherby Magnum | 3,460 fps | 650+ yards | $4,400 |
After completing the course, graduates can purchase their rifle at $4,400.
Mark Thompson developed a patented bullet design featuring grooves cut through the ogive that align with barrel twist. Testing shows the grooved design produces: - Increased surface area with shorter nose profile - Flatter trajectory and higher impact velocity - Consistent tight groups at 1,000+ yards - Better expansion at distance
> "In 3 hours of class time and 2 hours of field time, Mark took me from pulling a new gun out of the box to shooting a 10-inch group at 1,000 yards. UN-BE-LIEVABLE!" — David S.
Graduates have taken elk at 743 yards, deer at 1,040 yards, moose at 700 yards, and completed Grand Slam hunts. One student went from a self-imposed 400-yard limit to confident 1,000-yard shooting.
