This five-day precision rifle course is built for shooters serious about refining long-range marksmanship across Levels I, II, and III. Instruction starts with precision rifle fundamentals, equipment selection and maintenance, and the history and development of the scoped rifle, then moves into ballistic theory, optic manipulation in MIL or MOA, and practical target engagement.

Students work through known-distance and unknown-distance problems, wind reading, range estimation, and use of tools such as a laser range finder, ballistic calculator, and chronograph. Firing is done from unsupported, tripod-supported, and alternate positions including barricades, with optional night shooting and a final open range period on day five.

Key training areas include:

  • Rifle and scope manipulation using MIL and or MOA
  • Range estimation techniques and unknown distance target engagement
  • Known distance target engagement to 1,000 yards
  • Wind reading, understanding, and wind call application
  • Unsupported, tripod-supported, and alternate position shooting including barricades
  • Rapid target engagement techniques and drills
  • Use of laser range finders, ballistic calculators, and chronographs
  • Internal, external, and terminal ballistics

This course fits experienced shooters, competitors, hunters, and MIL or LE personnel who want a broad precision rifle progression. Students need a magnified-optic rifle, at least two 10-round magazines, a bipod, and 600 rounds of match-grade ammunition.
