This 2-day Foundation Precision Course is built for shooters who need a clear, practical starting point in long-range rifle work. Led by former Marine Scout Sniper Instructors with decades of combined experience, the course focuses on building real capability rather than just covering concepts. Students are taught how to safely run a precision rifle system, understand its limitations, and apply sound fundamentals from the ground up.

Instruction is delivered through hands-on coaching and repeated live-fire application. Shooters learn how to correctly configure their rifle and optic, establish a stable shooting position, manage recoil from the prone position, and confirm a proper 100-yard zero before moving into known-distance engagements. The course also introduces spotting, communication, and wind reading in a practical way so students can begin building a repeatable process for making corrections and getting hits.

Key training areas include:

  • Precision rifle safety and system operation
  • Rifle and cartridge selection, including custom rifle considerations
  • Scope setup, functionality, and 100-yard zero confirmation
  • Building stable shooting positions with comfort and recoil control in mind
  • Ballistic solver setup and use for known-distance engagements
  • Spotter development, trace recognition, and shooter-spotter communication
  • Wind reading fundamentals and building a usable wind call process

This course is best suited for newer long-range shooters, hunters, and developing precision rifle shooters who want a structured foundation without needing prior formal training. It also fits experienced shooters looking to tighten up fundamentals and fill knowledge gaps. No prior shooting experience is required, but students must provide proof of legal firearm possession.
