Shepard Humphries is co-holder and team leader for the world record for the longest confirmed rifle shot — 4.4 miles (7,774 yards) — set with the Nomad Rifleman team alongside Scott Austin. A former SWAT sniper team leader, he has spent more than two decades teaching precision and extreme long-range (ELR) shooting, co-founding Nomad Rifleman and the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He is co-author of The Nomad Rifleman's Guide to Extreme Long Range Shooting Fun and founder of the One Mile Club, the public registry of shooters with confirmed one-mile hits. Having proven what is possible as a practitioner, Shepard's mission now is to teach the next generation of shooters to break his record. Every product he reviews on ShootingExperience.com has been personally field-tested at long range in real mountain conditions, or has been thoroughly researched.
