#201 - Practical Field Rifle 2

Building on #101 (or equivalent), we re-emphasize shooting fundamentals and then focus on UKD shooting to 1000 yards from standard and improvised shooting positions. Target location, ranging, and engagement are put under time constraints.

a. Application of the fundamentals of marksmanship through non-conventional shooting positions
b. Theory, practical, and computational aspects of advanced ballistics
c. Range estimation using mil-dot relation formulas and laser range-finders
d. Engage targets in the field at known distances out to 1000 yards
e. Locate, range, and engage unknown-distance target arrays from unconventional positions under time constraints

The majority of the shooting in this class is done in a field environment. This class culminates in a field exercise that involves locating, ranging, and shooting a variety of 1-3 MOA targets using unconventional shooting positions under time constraints.
