This mid-range rifle course is built for shooters looking to extend their capability beyond basic carbine distances and develop a more structured approach to semi-automatic rifle marksmanship. The curriculum focuses on practical rifle setup, shooter efficiency, and applying ballistic data for accurate engagements from 50 to 300 yards.

Students work through rifle configuration, zero confirmation, holds, and positional shooting while building a repeatable process for consistent impacts at intermediate distance. Instruction is delivered in small groups with a 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio, allowing for direct coaching and correction throughout the two training days.

Training emphasizes practical field application rather than static bench shooting. Shooters are expected to already understand core rifle handling and safety procedures before attending, allowing the course to focus on data management, positional stability, and improving hit consistency under realistic range conditions.

Key training areas include:

  • Semi-automatic rifle setup and optimization
  • Zeroing procedures and holdovers
  • Ballistic data collection and application
  • Positional shooting fundamentals
  • Stability and recoil management
  • Mid-range engagements from 50 to 300 yards
  • Practical marksmanship workflow and shot accountability
  • Shooter coaching with real-time corrections

Students should bring a reliable semi-automatic rifle, match-grade ammunition, and supporting gear suitable for sustained live-fire training. Rifle Fundamentals is a prerequisite, making this course best suited for shooters who already have safe gun-handling skills and want to build stronger mid-range performance with a more disciplined precision rifle process.
