I have the video also and it is interesting to watch. Like the pervious post indicated, Thompson has his own way of LR shooting. I attended his school and had a good time and was able to shoot to 1200 yards with a stock rifle, which I purchased. This is what first hooked me into LR shooting. After, Thompson, I saw one of John Burns's Best of the West Video's which, was also very interesting. Since then, I have had a few custom rifles built and set up for LR hunting using both their systems.
