Ian Miner - UXM Training Instructor

The Mission

Training That Fits Your Life

Most precision shooting classes cost a fortune. UXM exists to change that.

We train real people. The farmer. The shift worker. The guy who coaches his kid's baseball team. Whether you shoot a $10k competition rig or a budget hunting rifle, you'll leave confident in the field.

Ian Miner is a former USMC scout sniper, husband, father, and man of faith. He started UXM because he believes high-quality long-range training should be within reach for working families.

Confirmed Nebraska Courses for 2026

These two classes are set in stone. Choose the course that matches your goals and express interest to reserve your place.

Week 1 July 18-19, 2026

Cornerstone: Western Style Hunting

Dynamic field movement, stalking, terminal ballistics, and bullet choice.

Rev-Tac, Jackson, NE All Levels

Course Focus

This class is built for shooters who want to transition from static range confidence into real western hunting decisions.

Why This Is Different

Rev-Tac already covers strong shooting fundamentals. Ian is bringing the western-style hunting layer: movement, approach, and execution under field pressure instead of ambush-style setups.

Key Outcomes

  • Understand western-style hunting shot process and movement
  • Apply terminal ballistics in realistic field contexts
  • Choose bullet profiles with purpose for western game

Week 2 August 8-9, 2026

Tripod Clinic: Positional Shooting

Advanced positional work for dynamic long-range precision.

Rev-Tac, Jackson, NE Advanced

Course Focus

This clinic is for capable shooters who want to level up speed, stability, and confidence from tripod and field positions.

Why This Is Different

Less fundamentals, more execution: rapid position building, transitions, and clean shots from unstable and improvised setups.

Key Outcomes

  • Tripod-supported positional shooting under time
  • Dynamic long-range precision from field positions
  • Faster transitions with repeatable shooting process
