Craig, It really is exactly as Ernie says; if you are already "a shooter;" have more or less mastered the fundamentals of shooting, and don't "know it all" and are willing to learn, it is very doable and possible. Especially with Ernie as your coach. And if you are really really lucky enough, with his equipment.

However, like most fun things in life, long range shooting costs money. We always try to compensate Ernie fairly after a session.

Here is a video of one of my sessions:
Shooting A Long Range Specialty Pistol

Listen closely to the part where Ernie describes some of the details of how his gun is set up. The equipment is of course of utmost importance.
