Long Range Rifle Training in Big Bend with AA Outfitters

AA Outfitters is the local outfitter we recommend for shooting and rifle training in Big Bend, Texas. The session builds real marksmanship skills, and it’s just as welcoming to a first-time shooter as it is to a seasoned hunter. Planning more of your trip? Our Big Bend visitor guide covers what else to do nearby.

What to Expect from Three Hours on the Range

Three hours, three things to take home:

  • A start from zero: Never looked through a scope? No problem. AA Outfitters will teach you everything you need to know to enjoy long-range rifle shooting.
  • A 1,000-yard shot: That’s about ten football fields between you and the target, and you’ll get there in a single session.
  • An easy day to plan: The experience is an all-inclusive package, so you can show up ready to shoot and still have the evening for dinner in Terlingua or a night under the stars.
