Why this exists
It's usually not the rifle
For years the same questions have come across my workbench: "it won't group," "I can't get consistent hits past 400," "I don't know if it's me or the rifle." Long range shooting is a discipline built on data and verified method — not the most confident voice in a comment section. So I built the structured course I wished had existed: rigorous, metric, and made for Australian conditions.
What's inside
From the shooter to extreme range — in a deliberate order
- The shooter & the platform — safety, range discipline, the rifle as a system, optics.
- The language of precision — Mil vs MOA, angular measurement, corrections.
- Ballistics — internal & external: velocity, BC, the trajectory, transonic.
- Environment & wind — atmospherics, density altitude, reading and calling wind.
- Solving the shot — zeroing, ballistic solvers, the CCG-LR app, DOPE.
- Application & ethics — fundamentals, positional, terminal ballistics, ethical shots, hit probability.
- The Australian legal maze — firearms law, state by state.
- Beyond — extreme range, plus remote-area first aid and where to go next.
The companion app
CCG-LR — built alongside the course
CCG-LR is a purpose-built metric ballistic solver, built from the ground up around the method you learn in the course — offline-first, metric-native, and actively developed. It's a real, working tool you take from the lesson into the field, and Module 11 is a complete guided tour. It keeps improving, and enrolled learners get every update automatically.
Field Pack range cards
Pocket, weatherproof reference cards — wind, Mil/MOA & ranging, ethical-shot, and an emergency card — for when batteries and signal fail.
Your DOPE, in the app
Build your rifle profile once; generate a trued firing solution and a printable range card. Course and app are one system.
Who built this
By the gunsmith
I'm Loz Hemmings, a gunsmith in Yeppoon with family roots in the Birmingham gun trade. After years of answering the same questions across the bench, I used my other company — Mapped Out Solutions, which builds professional training for mining and other high-risk industries — to build the long range course I wished existed. First Round Effect is the result: built to a professional eLearning standard, in metric, for Australian shooters.

Questions
FAQ
Is the app included?
Yes — 12 months' access. CCG-LR is a purpose-built metric ballistic solver, built from the ground up around the course method — offline-first, metric-native, and actively developed. It's a real, working tool, and it keeps improving: enrolled learners get every update automatically.
Do I need a licence and a rifle?
Yes — it suits a licensed shooter who already handles a rifle safely. You'll get the most from it with a centrefire rifle, a scope that can dial or hold, and a willingness to record your data. It supplements — never replaces — supervised live fire.
Is it for beginners or experienced shooters?
Both. It runs in a deliberate order from the fundamentals to confident hits at distance, with advanced topics (load development, ELR) for when your basics are solid.
Metric only?
Metric-first throughout (metres, m/s, Mil), with MOA referenced. That's how Australians shoot — and it works anywhere that shoots in metric.
How long do I have access?
No expiry on your course access — return to any module any time. App access is 12 months from when it's available to you.
What's your refund policy?
If you complete Module 1 (the orientation) and the course isn't what was described, email within 14 days for a full refund.
Is there a certificate?
Yes — pass the 50-question final (80%) and you earn a certificate of completion.
