Gardner’s Guns Tier 1. Here’s what Tier 1 actually is. It’s not a longer Tier 2. It’s a different level. At Tier 1 you’re demonstrating you can run your process safely and decisively in any conditions. Read wind with confidence, make sound calls, and back them up. Deliver consistent results, not one-offs. Set the example and mentor others on the line. That’s Tier 1. Nothing’s given. Everything’s earned. Gardner’s Guns. Hashtag LongRangeShooting,

🎯 OUR NEW MOBILE FIRING POINT 🎯

Another major addition to Gardner’s Guns & R***e Ranges — our new purpose-built, all-weather mobile firing point.

Designed for year-round training, it gives us a proper covered and heated facility for when the colder, wetter weather arrives.

The new unit includes:

• 5 fixed bench firing positions
• 5 prone firing positions
• Opening firing windows for prone shooting
• Heating throughout
• Indoor toilet facilities
• Small kitchen area
• And, of course, brew-making facilities ☕

It’s also designed to operate off-grid using solar power, making it practical, self-sufficient and more environmentally friendly wherever we position it.

Because it’s mobile, we can move the firing point to suit different training requirements and make much better use of the range throughout the year.

It’s all part of our continued investment in the facilities, the training programme and the experience we provide for our members.

Still a few finishing touches to do, but it’s really starting to come together.

Nothing’s given. Everything’s earned.

🔥 TIER 2 – ADVANCED 🔥

Today we officially introduce the next stage of the Gardner’s Guns Training Pathway.

T2 – CONTROL • TECHNIQUE • ACCURACY

Tier 2 is where the foundations built at T3 are developed into more advanced long-range shooting skills.

This stage is about taking greater control of the r***e, understanding what is happening downrange, and learning how to make accurate, repeatable decisions as the distance increases.

Training develops through:

• More advanced wind reading
• Ballistics and elevation
• Improved positional control and technique
• Greater consistency at distance
• Progression toward shooting out to 1 mile
• Understanding am******on performance and load development
• Building the knowledge and judgement needed for the next level

T2 is not simply about shooting further.

It is about understanding why the shot works, recognising when it doesn’t, and knowing what adjustment needs to be made.

Every shooter progresses at their own pace and moves forward when the required standard has been demonstrated.

From T2, the pathway leads toward T1 – Elite, where performance, consistency and judgement become the focus.

Nothing’s given. Everything’s earned.

🔵 T3 – Foundation
⚪ T2 – Advanced
🟡 T1 – Elite
