summary

This five-day Basic Sniper Course is purpose-built for law enforcement personnel assigned to SWAT or designated sniper units. It delivers the essential foundation in long-range marksmanship, rifle setup, and tactical deployment skills necessary to operate effectively in real-world high-stress environments.

You'll begin with zeroing theory, scope operation, and target ranging techniques, quickly progressing to more complex applications, such as wind calls, angular units (MOA vs. MIL), and ballistic science—internal, external, and terminal.

The course also includes specialized modules on:

  • Max Point Blank & Holdovers
  • Counter Sniper Measures & Red Cell Scenarios
  • Loop Hole & Moving Target Engagement
  • Night Shooting with NVG (loaners available)

As the training intensifies, students are challenged to hone not only their physical shooting ability but also their tactical mindset and rapid decision-making under pressure. The final qualification exam demands both technical skill and mental composure.

Included:

  • Student Handouts
  • Rear Rest/Bag & Swag
  • Certificate of Completion

Gear Requirements:

  • Precision rifle & optic suitable for LE sniper operations
  • Ammunition to support a 5-day course load
  • NVG if available (or request loaner in advance)
  • Standard deployment kit and positional shooting gear

Ideal for newly assigned police snipers building mission-ready skills.
Law enforcement affiliation required — no civilian slots available.
