The Whittington U School of Extreme Long Range held its inaugural ELR Masters I Course on April 14-16, 2014. Braving wind and snow during the three days of instruction, five students established new benchmarks in the Extreme Long Range community.

The ELR Masters I Course featured the .338 SnipeTac, .375 Cheytac, .408 Cheytac and .416 Barrett, each respective cartridge pushed to their limits in a very controlled environment. The course offered the opportunity to track data at the extreme limits of the projectile in the effort to chart the performance for future analysis.

Current WU ELR Masters Confirmed Benchmark Records:

Billy Carter: .375 Cheytac. Carter achieved back to back confirmed impacts on a 1 MOA Target (36"x36") at 2.07 Miles in a 9 round shooting iteration!
