Our Rifle Courses are field course for the real world precision shooter. These comprehensive hands-on field classes are designed to teach shooters how to engage long range targets in any situation or environment. Designed to bring all level of shooter to the next level by continually challenging and coaching them in a constantly changing field environment.
As successful competitors, snipers, and instructors we have developed courses to meet the requirements of all levels of shooter from the beginner, to the national level competitor, to the Special Operations Sniper. We are professionals training professionals.
Our approach is to evaluate and systematically build the shooter’s skills in a logical building progression. We address shooting from a 3 point prospective:
The shooters physical ability to accurately fire his/her weapon; we address shooting from the ground up. From the basic fundamentals to the finer points as an advanced skill. From setting up an ergonomically correct rifle, to building a solid, stable, and durable shooting position in even the most austere of conditions. Most real life shots aren’t taken from the prone! We bring students to the next level of both precision and accuracy.
Data Management; Teaching students how to best obtain a good repeatable zero and efficiently collect the most accurate and reliable data possible. How to construct an extremely accurate, reliable and easy to use data management system for every environmental condition. No shot should ever be missed due to a bad elevation correction.
Correcting for the environment; we begin by first teaching students the science of correcting for the wind and other environmental factors but this is only the beginning. Throughout the remainder of the courses students will receive ongoing expert coaching (individually and as a group) on the art of actually reading the wind. This is where our low student to teacher ration truly pays off. We continually challenge our students by changing firing points/direction of fire and therefore changing the environmental shooting conditions. This challenge and reinforcement cycle helps build a well-rounded, capable, and mature shooter.
