This 3-day Intermediate Sniper School is designed for law enforcement and military snipers who have already completed a basic sniper course and are ready to advance their operational capability. The focus shifts from foundational skills to refining performance, collecting reliable data, and applying precision shooting in more complex environments.

    Training begins with zero confirmation and data collection, building verified ballistic profiles out to 800 yards. From there, instruction transitions into applied shooting with full operational gear, reinforcing the ability to perform consistently while wearing body armor and carrying mission-essential equipment. Wind reading, positional work, and tripod integration are developed further under realistic constraints.

    A key component of the course is the urban sniper application. Students will construct urban hides and conduct live-fire engagements from within those positions, working through concealment, observation, and shot execution in structured scenarios. High-angle engagements and improvised shooting positions add additional layers of complexity to target engagement.

    Key training areas include:

    • Data collection and ballistic validation out to 800 yards
    • Wind reading and applied corrections under field conditions
    • Tripod utilization and advanced positional shooting
    • High-angle engagements and angle compensation
    • Urban hide construction with live-fire execution
    • Shooter and spotter coordination in operational scenarios
    • Shooting and movement while wearing a full kit

    This course is intended for active LE and MIL snipers with an established foundation in precision rifle shooting. Students must arrive with a confirmed zero, a rifle capable of 1 MOA accuracy, and all operational gear, including body armor and urban hide equipment.

    Expect to run your rifle daily in full kit, with a round count of approximately 650, making this suitable for those preparing for real-world deployment or advancing within a sniper team.
