Tim Fetterer is a Target Down Group precision rifle instructor with Marine, SWAT sniper, and federal security experience.


Tim Fetterer is a Precision Rifle Course instructor at Target Down Group with a background that spans the US Marine Corps, law enforcement special operations, and federal security work. He served eight years in the Marines, later worked as a SWAT sniper, and also served as a Federal Air Marshal. His experience also includes work as a weapons instructor and intelligence security contractor.
That mix of military, law enforcement, and protective security experience matters on the range because it gives context to how precision rifle skills are applied under real constraints. His instruction is grounded in practical rifle handling, accountability for shots, and the kind of decision-making that matters in tactical settings. For shooters looking at his background, the value is in the breadth of operational environments he has worked in and how that informs precision rifle and tactical weapons training.

Five-day precision rifle course covering foundational through advanced long-range skills for serious shooters refining marksmanship.
