This two-day advanced course from _Sidewinder Concepts_ is designed for shooters ready to elevate their skills beyond basic long-range fundamentals. If you're confident behind your rifle but want to push performance further—under stress, across platforms, and without relying on tech—this course delivers.

‍

You'll sharpen both digital and analog skills, gaining a deeper understanding of external ballistics, environmental influences, and dope card utilization. While ballistic calculators like Kestrel or AB apps are covered, emphasis is placed on manual methods—prepping you for real-world scenarios where batteries die, weather shifts fast, and precision is non-negotiable.

‍

Expect field-based problem-solving challenges, positional shooting from tripods and barricades, and high-tempo drills designed to build speed, adaptability, and confidence. You'll also touch on competitive shooting principles and spotting techniques to support teammates in dynamic conditions.
