A 5-day law enforcement sniper course covering deployment skills, fieldcraft, and engagements from CQB distance to 1,000 yards.
This 50-hour Basic Sniper School is designed for law enforcement and military personnel preparing for operational sniper roles. The course provides a comprehensive foundation, progressing from rifle setup and marksmanship fundamentals to applied sniper tasks such as stalking, hide construction, and real-world deployment considerations.
Students develop core sniper competencies across a wide engagement spectrum, working from close-contact distances out to 1,000 yards. Instruction focuses on building a reliable shooting process, understanding optic systems, and applying ballistic data under operational conditions. Emphasis is placed on integrating the rifle into a broader mission set rather than treating it as a standalone skill.
Training is delivered through hands-on instruction, field exercises, and scenario-based drills. Students will operate in full kit, applying skills in realistic environments that require movement, concealment, and disciplined shot execution. Expect extended time on the gun, combined with fieldcraft tasks that reinforce decision-making and adaptability.
