This 2-day Precision Hunter Foundation course is designed to give hunters a practical entry point into precision rifle shooting with direct field application. Delivered in partnership with Tenacity Arms and led by Marine Scout Sniper Instructors, the course focuses on building a reliable shooting process that translates to ethical, repeatable performance in hunting scenarios.

Training is hands-on and structured around real-world applications. Students will use Tenacity-X rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor, removing equipment guesswork and allowing full focus on skill development. Instruction covers rifle setup, optic use, and zero confirmation before progressing into stable position building and known-distance engagements. The emphasis is on creating a repeatable system that works in the field, not just on a flat range.

Key training areas include:

  • Safe operation of a precision rifle system in hunting contexts
  • Rifle and cartridge selection for different hunting applications
  • Scope setup, functionality, and 100-yard zero confirmation
  • Building stable shooting positions for field conditions
  • Recoil management from prone and hunting-relevant positions
  • Ballistic solver setup and use for hunting scenarios
  • Known-distance engagements with consistent shot execution
  • Wind reading fundamentals and applying practical wind holds
  • Spotter development, trace identification, and communication

This course is suited for hunters at all experience levels who want to build or reinforce a precision shooting foundation. No prior training is required, making it accessible to new shooters, while still valuable for experienced hunters refining their process. Rifles and ammunition are provided, but students should bring their typical hunting gear, support equipment, and personal essentials. Proof of legal firearm possession is required.
